Poem by James Tian
Meaning
What do we think is the meaning of peace,
In our yellowing memories?
Is it so selfish,
That we don’t care about each other, It’s the final stability?
Or just a word calling with our mouth,
Without love as a basis?
What do we think is the meaning of peace,
In our ideal dreams?
Without a war,
Is that the true harmony?
Or a temporary emotion just because of special pity?
It’s the crack in our hearts now,
There is something wrong with our consciousness!
Stopping greedy desire can make the wandering love return,
The light of the world isn’t only at daybreak.
The excuses for attack is always prosperous,
But follow the love should be our special faith.
Even if the future is a jacket with bloody existence,
Everything is possible,
The fire symbolizing freedom isn’t extinguished.
