【For the Children】
By Tian Yu Zhi
Maybe you should have ridden a horse,
Not taken the train at Kramatorsk Station.
It came from far away north,
Marked "For the Children” in Russian
It was a missile, not Santa’s Sleigh
Your purple toy horse, still not fast enough to
Carry you away from the dark fumes of war
To a giant willow tree, where you sit underneath,
Read a book about a black stallion, and
Grow old slowly, like tree rings
Bear from the North, evil with no limits
Don’t you dare to speak “Children” again ——
They are coming to haunt you
On horses, by brigades，
Before resting in peace, for eternity

* Pray for those who have died and injured by Russian’s
missile attack at Kramatorsk train station, Ukraine
提醒：慎入
导弹上面用俄语写着 “为了孩子们”
