[ 英詩創作 ] A Young Life Had Perished.
國立高雄師範大學 英語學系
There was a thing rolling on the corner of the street
Round, hairy, small, but not hard to notice
And a body, lying faced down on the corner of the street
So fragile, so young, so small, hard to miss.
I heard the scream of a woman, and sounds of fight
But there was nothing able to stop such a blight
That man with a butcher knife, heartless
Faking a good intention to carry out his terrible deed
Such a chance for him, so divine
A young life perished in his hand, an eerie demise
Gave him the illusion of being a god
Tasteless, lifeless, merciless, nothing can stop.
Blood dripping, broken hearts.
I looked again, with curiosity
My heart began to break
After witnessed such an atrocity
A young life had perished
Earlier today, on the corner of the street
This world will never forget, will never forgive
Little light bulb, may you rest in peace.
Mikhail.
