Linton Kwesi Johnson
Some of them say…
Then we will counter attack…
A whole heap of passion…
Hotter than the heights of fire living heat down volcano core…
Spirits rise and real and rise thunder-wise…
Latent power…
In a form resembling madness…
Like violence is the show…
– Linton Kwesi Johnson

A great song from Linton Kwesi Johnson, for true.
Not exactly a reggae song, or song at all, but a meditation by a great reggae poet, Linton Kwesi Johnson (LKJ). As we end a hectic year, is there ever a moment of soundless calm?
