Weeds of Fields, Flowers of Bouquets -2
I cry for children who cannot call fathers father,
I cry for children who cannot call mothers mother.
I, threatened like weed plundered from rich soil.
I, threatened like stain on printed cloth.
I, threatened, ought be drops from rain,
ought be rocks from mountains,
ought be trees from forest,
ought be ice from glaciers.
O, who needs be grains of sands from desert lands.
O, who needs be sons and daughters of motherland.
For taught I Give am tendered; Keep am threatened.
I cry for fathers, who knows not their sons.
I cry for mothers, who knows not their daughters.
I cry for my country, who knows not their people.
- Rosa Sinensis, 2010 -
