缄默
一旦诗般美丽的语言
被用来引爆
新仇旧恨的
炮弹
人类需要
另一种全新的
弃绝音节的
缄默
面对这荒谬绝伦的世界
他们其实也
无话可说
注：在波士尼亚战火里生长的小孩，有不少因心灵受创而失去说话能力。
而一位引发战火的塞尔维亚人领袖，据说还是位诗人呢。
SILENCE
when poetic language
is used to ignite
hatred
and bombs
it's time to abandon
words
syllables
and sounds
to this absurd world
they really have nothing
to say
Note: Many children born and raised in the warring Bosnia
were so traumatized that they lost the ability to speak.
Ironically, one of the Serbian leaders was said to be a poet.
