酷我-北美枫

Our words aching,
Yet cannot soothe their pain;
Our voices anxious,
Yet cannot pull them out.
Lives buried under the rubble,
souls suffer among earthquakes.

What have they done to deserve this?
What hope can they grasp?
thousands of lives,
thousands,
still in their childhood,
each, a flower bulb,
each, a promising blossom,
just a few days ago,
just a few days ago!

Now they are buried in the debris!

With broken hearts,
our hands dig the cruel and cold fact,
with helpless tears,
we hear their crying from underground!

Help them,
Help them,
God, and gods!

星子,

I know what you mean. It's just that some lives are gone in just a second and I can't do anything which makes me gloomy. It's promising to see international help is rushing in and the government is willing to accept it.

My thoughts are with those who are suffering from the quake.

Anna,
I'm so sorry to see the people of China suffer so from this Quake. I hope your family was able to find shelter. My thoughts are with you.

Bren

You have sounded the gong.

May I bring this poem to our poets&writers group tonight?

Doug

Hi Bren,

Thank you very much. My family live anothe province.

But a few days ago, after the Quake, my brother went there to help with a medicine group.

Anna

Hi Doug,
Please share with your group.

I was invited to read poems for the Quake relief local group in Toronto.

Thanks.

Anna

I saw your moving poem on the Sichuan earthquake. Allow me, please, to express my heartfelt sorrow and to convey my deep sympathy to the Chinese people on the occasion of this horrible human tragedy.
