The Red Field

It’s natural in the field
when the the red-glutinous-rice is red.
Autumn arrives before its season
the earth teems with red
isn’t covered with red leaves.

Vultures soar in the sky
eagles are on their glide.
Their shouts disorient the mice
There lay the corpses in sight
Authenticate the solemn calamity.
Population confuse and never flee
In monsoon comes the rainy blood
Now, it’s due to the flood.

See the field attired in black
like seeing the flocks of crows.
See bodies like tiny twigs
they are forced to drudge.
All day and all night
under the sun and in the rain
the field remains black, remains black.
The work is commanded
the force must be sent
the duties must be performed
and have to be done.

Due to the exhuastion
like deserts without water,
bowls without food.
Knees larger then heads
doddering on the dikes.
They never endure in the wind
nor the breeze.

The thatch houses are old and perforated
View from side through side.
Humans lose their resplendent kingdom
like birds lose their flight
and cannot discover the way
back up to their heavenly throne.
Humans who sit upon humans
those are no-hearted humans
that trample on Almighty’s law.
Avoid light doom to all cohert lives.
“Darkness is hidden in darkness
blinding the men’s eyes.”

When darkness blankets the earth,
dignity and humanity are annihilated.
When rightousness is grown weak,
the evil increases, raze down morality
and civility and luxury.
Savage reaches the savage’s height
recurrence of ferocious seiges.

O’ Lord, how austere!
Dogs eating dogs never are fair.
Death upon soul, O despair.
When worse is worse
slaying reaches its peak.
Bullets are cast aside
now, bamboos and hoes prove their prize.

The lions show their fangs at the sheep
and devour their flesh in hatred,
ignore the pity that eyes implore.
There the famine and the outcry
dwelling in the ocean-tear;
who has been relieved from pang and fear?
There lay the corpses
in the excavation and on the field;
no flesh in earth, only bones abide.
The red field still red
the profuse massacre still here.
How long until the red shall disappear!
