接上楼 诗的背景是菲律宾和美国的战争中征用了童子军,有一个小女孩踩中了地雷被炸掉一条腿,在几乎没有医疗措施的情况下濒临死亡。 Guns stand like the forest, Bullets fall like the rain. In the war there is no rest, Even when you are in such pain. Tired people fall asleep, Dream is as addictive as the drug. You cuddle in the dark and tremble in the deep, Bear the unbearable pain of your lost leg. You feel your life is drained away at night, Life or death is your dilemma. You grab the only warmness on your right, Cry out the only word you can say which is ‘mama’. You say ‘please, please, stop this pain’, And then you hear the whisper from heavens. When it turns to silent again, Your body and soul are finally all lighten.
