Night
列車如載運牲畜般
無知的群眾是獲物
困惑 恐懼 疲憊
車廂壁黏附著驚惶
目的地戰線後方
沿途目睹的人們
在惡魔降臨前
仍苟且偷安
藍夜裡的縷縷黑煙
是上帝默許的真意
知其一不知其二
別再愚昧探問
貪婪與姑息的必然
歷史烙痕如何抹滅
虛構正義撫慰生靈
歎
In trains, akin to cattle’s plight,
The ignorant masses, prey in flight. Confusion, fear, and weariness,
Carriage walls echo their distress.
Destination: lines of war’s rear,
Witnessed along the journey’s sphere, Before the demons take their stand,
They cling to comfort in the land.
Threads of black smoke in the blue of night,
Are God’s silent consent, in sight.
Knowing one, yet not the other,
Ignorance, no longer bother.
Inevitable, greed and appease,
How history’s scars may seek release. Fabricated justice, souls to ease.
Sigh.
