I don’t know…But I do know!

An Epicedium for the 5.12 Earthquake

I don’t know how deep you know this disaster…

But I know you must have been deeply shocked.

I don’t know how many towns were destroyed…

But I know many people lost their homes.

I don’t know how many people are still under the ruin…

But I know most of them will not survive.

I don’t know what the man is looking for…

But I know the possibility is quite low.

I don’t know how this house looked like before…

But I know the old is not able to rebuild by himself.

I don’t know how many schools collapsed…

But I know at that moment there were full of students.

I don’t know why here is a schoolbag…

But I know it must belong to one child.

I don’t know it’s a hand of a girl or a boy…

But I know how eager it is to touch Mama again.

I don’t know if he was a good student…

But I know he can not write his poem any more.

I don’t know how long he had been fighting for life…

But I know he must be completely exhausted.

I don’t know the weight of the cement…

But I know it does NOT mean the power of human being.

I don’t know where it is…

But I know it is NOT the way to the heaven.

I don’t know how long he will be waiting there…

But I know he is already very lucky.

I don’t know how fast the little girl was rescued…

But I know she has escaped from the hell.

I don’t know what the gesture means…

But I know it must be of gratefulness.

I don’t know if this girl can find her Mom…

But I know in her heart there’s already a deep slot.

I don’t know why the parents are still crying…

But I know the boy is alive for sure.

 

I don’t know where they are marching to…

But I know where they are coming from --- Home!

 

I don’t  know where here it is…

But I know they can not live there forever.

I don’t know how much on his small hand…

But I know he donates much more than ourselves. 

I don’t know how many people are giving their hands…

But I know all human being belong to ONE family.

I don’t know how they can suffer such a huge burden…

But I know they will make all their efforts!

  

I don’t know whether this naïve baby knows anything…

But I know he’ll be told the sad story when he grows up.

..........................................

I don’t know if there will be next time…

But I know it will come if we forget this time!
