This captivating calypso, arguably a timeless song, resonates deeply with listeners, fostering contemplation and discussion about moral integrity and collective responsibility. Ah, collective responsibility seems wrapped up in selfish ideals. In today's world, with so much bitterness and narrow-minded individuals, it's vital to remember the importance of standing up for the voiceless and nurturing a society built on compassion and justice.
“No Conscience” is a straight, hard‑hitting calypso from Kerice Pascall, written by Kurt Allen and produced by Kenny Phillips at KMP Music Studios. The song calls out a society where wrongdoers move bold and unbothered and where empathy seems to be fading fast. As the older folks would say, "they are too damn salop!"
Kerice sings about a world on the verge of collapse, highlighting failing systems, growing indifference, and individuals ignoring abuse and injustice. The idea of building on "sinking sand" deepens the sense of collapse. Furthermore, it’s a reminder that when conscience disappears, everything else starts to collapse. “No Conscience” identifies and rightly condemns those who cover up abuse and wrongdoing. The lyrical master shines with this Calypso poetry.
This composition, written by our modern-day griot, Last Bardjohn of Calypso, is calypso doing what calypso does best—holding up a mirror and urging us to do better. We approve of the message, love the emotion of the singer and approve of the production. Now, let's act as if we are in the revered calypso tent and say, "Kaiso, Kaiso?" Yes, Kaiso!
