Forget Me Not!  

--For the earthquake victims of my compatriots, Poem by

Lili



The Earth committed a bigger crime

compared the one of Tangshan.

Caused several thousands mother, father,elder fellow villagers

brothers and sisters

too early to terminate their precious lives.



The poet is impossible to imagine

the extreme sadness of Sichuan

and the other region's compatriots.

The painter also can't express that father's

unbearable painful facial expression,

who buries his head in the beautiful book bag

which is the only thing left.



For the Heavens, stops your rain imminently,

stops your sorrowful tears, now.

Lets angels, one second earlier,  to rescue

all the people who are still alive,

leave no one behind .



All over the world concentric connected soul,

together gathering praises the requiem,

to say goodbye to so many who have gone to the heaven,

to so many our unfortunate children and all victims.



Offers our entirety, for one day earlier,

to reconstructs our new homes,

to be able to resist earthquakes and  evades other disasters.

On this land wickedness has ones arrived,

let us plant one kind  flower,

which has the same color as Sichuan's blue sky,  and it has



a heavy name, it's called

Forget-me-not!

勿忘我!   --献给地震受难的同胞   诗 Lili



地球犯下了一个比唐山

更大的罪过。

使数万累千的父老乡亲,兄弟姐妹

过早终止珍贵的生命。



诗人根本无法想象

四川及各地同胞极端的悲伤。

画家也无能表达那位父亲，

把头深埋在仅存的花书包里

那痛苦欲绝的表情。



苍天啊，快止住你的雨，

止住你的哀泪。

让所有援救的天使们

早一秒钟，把幸存的亲人

一个都不少地全救出来。



普天下同心相连的灵魂，

一起用爱合颂安魂曲，送别

那么多去了天堂

不幸的孩子

和所有的殉难者。



献出我们的全部，早一天

重建一个能抗震避灾的新家园。

在这片恶运降临过的土地上

种遍一种和四川的天

一样蓝的花朵, 它们



有一个沉重的名字， 它们叫做

勿忘我。。。
