金
Hier stehe ich, ich kann nicht anders. -- Martin Luther
當一位同胞姊妹
因病未讓出巴士座位
被強行逮捕
你﹐挺身而出
身為牧師
沒有選擇的余地
不與邪惡制度合作
不再給
種族歧視公司
納一文錢﹗
人潮﹐涌沸
耶酥基督引導我航向
聖雄甘地
樹立我們榜樣
公平﹐從非賜予
要自己爭取
屋子挨爆炸
種族主義者毒打
警察﹐頻繁出入法庭
把監獄坐滿﹗
視死如歸
不再是沉默的羔羊
堅韌的身心
I have a dream
風中飄蕩的聲音
黃鐘﹐大呂

马丁*路德*金,这个名字很有学问。为写这诗我考据了圣马丁,是
公元四世紀那个圣,割袍的战士(当然,南美还有一个民族解放运动
的圣马丁,功成而退),再到马丁*路德,其实金的父亲也叫马丁*
路德,故而他的名字有个Jr.,我更喜欢金这个标题,象上回“坡”!
Hier stehe ich, ich kann nicht anders. --Martin Luther
Here I stand, I can do no others.
想找金本人的引言,考虑来考虑去,还是其祖师爷这句。
Some famous Martin Luther King's quotes:
Freedom is never voluntarily granted by the oppressor, it must be
demanded by the oppressed.
--"Letter From A Birmingham Jail April 16, 1963 "
Let us be satisfied until every man can have food and material necessities for his body, education and culture for his mind, freedom and human dignity for his spirit.

I just want to be there in love and in justice and in truth and in commitment to others, so that we can make of this old world a new world.

I refuse to accept the cynical notion that nation after nation must spiral down a militaristic stairway into the hell of thermonuclear destruction. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.

充满正义。Solute.
过于直白了些。还是那句话:正义不能替代诗意。修一修该不错的。

谢谢long兄,我总觉得写第一稿,昨天还到曼哈顿的金碑前吹风,真
的,也只能写到这份上。
正义倒未必,只是觉得,都是沉默的羔羊,就显得金愈加了不起。当
然,他是牧师,有教会的力量。象他自己说的,
用基督的方式对付基督的政府,原句一时想不起。

其实这诗还是为了路德那句话,真的。 - Re: 金posted on 01/20/2009
刚才在公司电视前看到DC人头攒动的场景,新总统就职典礼,正好
昨天是马丁*路德*金的日子。我也不会写赞诗,把旧诗一顶!
祝奥巴马吉祥如意!也祝他任期内不腐败,不专制,不霸道,讲人权
,把理想主义一直坚持下去。
