Silence Is Blue Voice Poem by Gideon Idudje

The bottle freedom cracks suddenly
I don't want a quarrel
Cos' I don't wanta duel

I don't want a quarrel
Cos' I don't want to pinch his toes

I don't want a quarrel
Cos' I might crack shell our relationship

I don't want a quarrel
Cos' I might go soured our communication

I don't want a quarrel
Cos' I don't want to cause her a baked heart

They don't want a fight
They don't want to offend
I don't want communication go loud
Cos' I don't want a split rock relationship

In this bottled freedom
I don't want to kill
this happy mood we are
though I am dying inside

In his frustration
He keeps silence
In her caked heart
She keeps silence
In his blue eyes
He keeps silence
In her red heart
She keep silence
but silence is a killer!

And then depression
drains her kind
As obsession
tame his mind
oppression
their freedom binds.

Tin tiny thinner
They become
Going down into a pit
of mind imprisonment
Fear their jailer
has sent melancholy
to be their mate
as hatred becomes
their breath.
silence is a murderer

Choked up he becomes
Cooked up sheboils
Baked brown
boiled hard
Steamed hot
bursting into social
Maladjustments
Exploding radioactive
Silence is an executioner


Don't quarrel
don't fight
don't break relationship
don't cut communication
But please don't be drenched
in a pool of silence.
Silence is a pretence

In the multitudes of silence
Is greater war
In the multitudes of silence
Is greater battle
In the multitudes of silence
lays the inner poison
stocked inside
piled within.

The heart
bears the weight of it
when heavy
screams thunder
then all is voiced
Though it's a tool but
Don't be drenched
in it pool
Like a deeper ocean
It is....when drenched
Silence is a bottled freedom
