Shoot Me First
---- For an Amish Girl
Blindfold my eyes
If that helps you see the light
Bind me tight
If that helps you free your mind
Pull the trigger
If the bullet blows away your anger
Shoot me first
Please, and let others go
Here I am, cold
Lying on the ground
There, are my friends
In silence falling down
And you who commit such sin
Will be forgiven not by Christ
But those weeping hearts within

Thank you all 星子, 白水, kokho for the comment on the touching part.
Isn't it a kind of straight forward? Don't you think?
I read Chinese stories and watched Chinese movies with words like "Shoot me first", but it shocked me whem I heard it from an American girl. Respect to her. |

Agree!
Sometime news really reveals good and touching stories.
They could be in our inspiration. |

没有人对这句 "Will be forgiven not by Christ " 感到不适吧?
写完以后,心里就隐隐地感到有人会发问,果然,在一个地方惹祸了。
"Not sure we can make such judgment."
不过在这里倒是平安无事。

在这贴上两条评论,大家就知道是怎么回事了。
引用: | Hi Lake
Emotive subject, but felt the tone and delivery had a strength, a triumph of good over evil.
引用: |
Will be forgiven not by Christ |
I'm not sure we can make that judgement.

and
引用: | Well done, Lake! Excellent poem.
I heard of that incident, here in far away South Africa, but didn't know that there was a little Amish girl who said, "Shoot me first". The tears are coursing down my cheeks at that. I also am blown away at her parents' ability to forgive the killers - though here in South Africa, many victims of Apartheid have been like that - Nelson Mandela, for one.
I feel even more strongly than Badger about that line. I know that Christ will forgive, but I get what you were meaning, I think - that it won't be overlooked by Christ and that He mourns the suffering the little girl went through.

See the cultural difference here? |

Yes. Lake.
Thanks for the post of comments.
In their world, they don't challenge GOD.
Yet we may wonder where GOD is when these things happen.
I also wrote one for another incident.

Thank you 星子 for the echoing. I went and read your poem.
Discussion continues:
引用: | No offence at all Lake. You are honest in your responses to my writing and I have respected that by being honest in my responses to your poems. If I understand, by happy accident or otherwise, that is very pleasing. Either way I very much enjoy your work.

引用: | Owl, thank you for your input. As you read Badger also brought up the same question which I responded by PM. I have realized the question and would like to have this post sink to the bottom of the page, and then I read your comment and thought maybe more people share the same point of view as that of yours.
As an athesist, ignorant of any religions, I see this incident as the tragedy and suffering of Amish community. The man who killed is reported as angry with his life, angry at God. But it is the peoploe, the Amish people who offered forgiveness to the killer. They may gain this strength from their belief of which I have no knowledge. However, I give my respect to the girl and her family members for their braveness and forgiveness.
I am glad that you understand me, and glad both you and Badger shared your views in all honesty.
Much appreciation,
Lake |
引用: | Thank you Lake, for your kind, reflective and understanding reply. I really appreciate it. It saddens me that you don't know the joy and peace and strength of this wonderful life, but I promise not to foist my beliefs on to you.
- Owl |
Hope this is the end of it. And I am glad I still keep friendship with them and are not foisted.
