牛

牛的悲哀
是不能拖着犁
在柏油的街上耕耘
让城市的孩子们
了解收获的意义

牛的悲哀
是明明知道
它憨直的眼睛
无法把原属星星月亮的少年
从霓虹的媚眼里引开

COWS

 

for the cows

the saddest thing is

that they cannot plough

and cultivate the asphalt roads

to make the city kids understand

the meaning of harvest

 

for the cows

the saddest thing is

they know too well

that their honest and straight-looking eyes

cannot lure away

the youths of moon and stars

from the seductive eyes

of the neon lamps
