这些孩子交上字条
只有一个字,
当被问到
什么最困扰他们.

死!

你无法面对
他们忧郁的面容,
悲伤的眼睛.

你以为这只是一个故事,
或临时的感觉.

和他们一起经受吧,
一个个葬礼, 父母的,
叔叔们的,
午饭时间,黄昏时候,
以及整个星期.

你还能有力气自由呼吸吗?
你能吗?
当所有的来自黑色,沉淀在黑暗里,
最火热的太阳也无法温暖他们.

这些非洲的孩子们,
如今挣扎着运用他们的
生存技能—

[i]祈祷,
祈祷,
再祈祷! [i]

Can you imagine?
These kids hand in their paper
with one word,
when asked to write
what bothers them most.

DEATH!

It is hard to face their
somber-looking, sad eyes.

You think it is just a story
or template feeling.

But feel with them,
funeral after funeral,
for moms, dads and uncles,
from lunch time to dusk,
on weekdays and weekends.

Can you still gather strength to breath?

When all is bleak and dark,
even the hottest sun cannot warm them.

These kids in Africa
now strive to share
their life skills---

Pray,
pray,
and pray!更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
