今年十二月二十六日，

是我國一位偉人的一百二十歲誕辰。

為紀念此一絕倫的偉人，

特此發表我早年紀念他的四首小詩，

以及最近補寫的一首後紀，

加了一個總標題「血腥的榮耀」,

以表敬意，以申賀忱。

走筆至此，忽然想起大陸一位名作家

尊稱郭莫若先生為中國的「歌德」,

蓋因其善於歌功頌德也。

郭先生何人也？老小子何人也？

怎敢效顰！也在這裡「歌德」一陣!

  血腥的榮耀

   1.英 雄

我怎麼能反抗他呢？

現在他是個大英雄。

造像威武嚴厲，

高踞皇座宮庭。

雖然他無比的權威

是結晶于鮮血之中；

他偉大的成就

是建立在白骨之頂。

那是我們父兄的鮮血與白骨啊！

那是我們母姊的悲傷與痛苦啊！

不管怎麼樣，

他已經是個大英雄。

是我們把他推上了寶座，

是他自己贏得了這場鬥爭。

他的周圍，

百草彎腰。

他的身旁，

百花獻笑。

群眾驚恐的崇拜他。

兒童懵懂的歡呼他。

.

我有時也會彎腰，

懷恨禱告。

我有時也會呼叫，

發誓回報。

某日某朝！

某式某招！

．

我也曾試著崇拜他，

試想他是個奇特的偉人。

我也曾學著歡呼他，

試以愛國心壓倒我的恨。

那怎麼能呢？

我怎麼辦呢？

有什麼法子？

那一天呢？

.

現在他的全然自私自利，

越發讓人討厭。

他的極度胡作非為，

越發讓人儍眼。

大錯呀！

大儍瓜！

多麼可歎！

多麼可憐！

          1. The Hero

How can I oppose him?

He becomes a great hero.

His stature is majestic,

and lofty on his throne.

Although his achievement

is cultivated with flesh and blood,

and his commandment

is built upon bones and skulls:

They are our fathers’ and brothers’

 blood and bones,

our mothers’ and sisters’

sacrifices and sufferings!

Anyway he is great.

Still he is a hero.

He wins his position.

We raise his statues!

His environment,

grasses grow to bow.

His surroundings,

flowers bloom to fawn.

People admire him with awe.

Children hail him with wows.

I myself also often bow,  

bow to pray with hate.   

I myself often vow,

vow to retaliate.

Someday !

Someway!

I too have tried to admire him:

tried to suppose he is oddly great.

I too have tried to hail him:

tried to be patriotic, not to hate.

But how can I do it?

What should I do?

Which day?

What way?

.

Now, I despise him very much.

His utter egoism terribly sickens me.

Also, he disgusts me very much.

I am appalled by his further evil deeds.

What errors!

What fools!

How sorrowful!

How pitiful!!
