Un silence torturant


Un silence torturant

Ecoutez dans ce silence
le son innocent de souvenir
au calvaire d’esprit et de cœur
sur des pistes sans pitié, inoubliables

ce silence témoin d’une baïonnette ravageuse
au silence muet, pénétrant doucement
ces corps candides, fils et filles,
pères et mères, les uns aux autres

ce silence torturant, ce silence mutilant
me conduisant à ces fosses communes
ces vallées-tombes au silence dévorant
de cimetière aux croix innombrables

fils et filles, pères et mères, les uns aux autres
Les uns sur leurs cous, les autres sur leurs ventres
Couchant dans les fosses communes
Ce silence qui me tue, ce silence de ces 6 millions des Congolais tués
