生存技能

你无法想象
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—
祈祷,
祈祷,
再祈祷!
When asked to write down
what bothers them the most
these kids hand in their papers
with one word on them:
DEATH!
Facing their
somber-looking, sad eyes,
You cannot ignore the feeling
with them,
funeral after funeral,
for moms, dads and uncles,
from lunchtime to dusk,
on weekdays and weekends.
You cannot gather strength to breath...
When all is bleak and dark,
even the hottest sun cannot warm them.
These kids in Africa
now strive
their life skills---
Pray,
pray,
and pray!
