許其正:野草的自述
壓抑有什麼用?
過後我還是會站起來的
即使一直壓抑,我仍會
轉個方向,尋隙長出來
甚至直接刺穿壓抑物蹦出來!
也或許會被拔除、被燒掉
這又有什麼用?
被拔除了,被燒掉了
我照樣再長出來
我就是這麼個樣子
沒什好訝異的
只要有一點點土
我便能長出來,存活下去
即連水泥屋頂不也可看到我?
這樣的稟性,誰能壓抑得了?
不是溫室裡需人照顧的花朵
我是堅強成長的野草
風霜雨雪烈陽不時磨練我
使我無懼於受壓抑,被拔除、燒掉
長得欣欣向榮,自滿自足
A Wild Grass’s Account in its own words
Hsu ChiCheng
Press means nothing to me
I will stand up again when press has gone
Even I am always being pressed, I will change
The direction or seek a crack to come out
Even pierce through them
Perhaps I will be pulled out or burnt
It is no use to me
Even I am pulled out or burnt
I will grow as before
This is what I am
There is no need to be surprised
Only there is a bit of earth
I can grow and live on
Even on the roof built with cement
So strong a character I have, that nothing can press me!
I am not a flower in hothouse
But a strong wild grass
The wind, the rain, the snow, the frost and
The scorching sun often bring hardships to me
But I grow and live on, brimming with youthful vigor @
