           【What Would I Die For?】

 



 


                    By Tian Yu Zhi

 



 


I am a civilian, not a soldier

What would I die For?

 


 

I would not die for any land or sky 

Mountain or sea, they belong to God

They were there before me, and

They will be there after me

 


 

I would not die for wealth or possession

It doesn’t take much for me to live and be happy 

Why desire so much, for a short hundred years

A handful of dust, after all

 

 

 

I would not die for someone else’s ambition

To unite, divide, annex, just for another’s dream 

To leave a mark in the history book 

Blood and flesh, ideology and doctrine

All perish, in the smoke and fire of war

 

 

 

But, Heaven forbid, I would die for my children

My family members, my true love

I would die for my friends, and the bullied 

I would die for the freedom of my soul

 

 

 

I become a soldier, the day 

When they try to take them away from me

 



 

    
                            2021.3.12 

 

* Pray for all those civilian turned soldiers in Ukraine

我在美国遇到的最好的同事就是乌克兰裔的,不过他父母是二战后就移民美国了。这次受影响应该不大。。

是吧,那就好。我跟他们打交道也挺顺的,可能是因为成长的背景比较相似吧,共产主义共济制。我的名字还在他们的网站上,唉,我每

理解你。有认识的人在正在经历战争,那种感受是不一样的。看这个视频,真的很揪心

谢谢,亲爱的。她中文说得真好。老百姓真是遭罪啊,像二战时的感觉。。。我subscribe 她的频道了,特别为首都担心

是啊,战争对于普通百姓来说,真是太残酷了。听说,这两天双方有达成妥协的可能性。希望尽快停战。

但愿吧。希望那个以核武器要胁世界的人有个适当的下场。
