Why Don’t Believe It? Hsu ChiCheng

Is this an incident?
Why don’t believe it?
How can we blame Heaven and Earth for their cruelty?
This is retribution from the nature!

It is said owing to melting of icebergs in the North Pole that polar bears move to the South Pole
The scientists give us warning:
In five years the North Pole will be free of ice in summer
There will be snowstorms, polar bears will perish from cold
Perhaps this is ridiculous, or unbelievable
But, the fact is a fact
According to research by the World Natural Fund:
In the past 35 years, 35 species have disappeared
One fourth of mammals are on the red line of extinction
Take, so to speak, Taiwan for example:
Successive green winters in recent years, extreme coldness and extreme hotness
In last September there has been attack of typhoon for several weeks
The rainfall several times hit an all-time high
To the result of broken bridges and deluges and earth flows
Now Morak Typhoon causes the severest destruction in the past 50 years
Even egrets are afraid of the typhoon, and there are thousands perching and resting
Old Zhuoshuixi River of Pitou, water has changed its ecology
The Amazon River fish which is commonly called man-eating crocodile has been touched
Even bees are hard to live on, and the output of bee honey is sharply reduced
Fireflies, frogs, green turtle, and hawksbill are on the verge of extinction
More and more poisonous foods flood the market
More and more strange diseases appear in the world
Perhaps human disaster is unavoidable
Is this an incident?
Can we blame Heaven and Earth for their cruelty?
This is retribution from the nature!
We shall be responsible for our own doings
This is a principle which remains unchanged for thousands of years
How can you be perfunctory by finding a pretext?
Perhaps it is not so easy!
The data flashes a red line: Taiwan
The gross discharge of carbon dioxide each person each year is three times the world  average
Plus the abusive reclamation of land and excessive felling of forest and harming of plants and animals 
Blessed if the nature does not resort to retribution!

Square up to the reality!
Be responsible for your own deeds!
Stopping persecuting the nature!
Do not plant or cultivate for illegal profit!
Otherwise, we are to bear the ill consequences of our own doings
Don’t think to dig a hole to bury yourself!
(tr. Zhang Zhizhong)

中文原詩如后:

       豈能不相信？    許其正

這豈是偶然？

這豈能不相信？

豈能歸諸天地不仁？

這是大自然的反撲呀！

說北極熊移往南極是北極冰山融解

科學家並提出警告：

五年後北極在夏天無冰

會發生暴風雨，北極熊會凍死

或許無稽，或可不相信

但是，事實終歸是事實

據世界自然基金會研究：

過去三十五年來，已有三十五種物種消失

四分之一哺乳動物已瀕臨絕種的紅色警戒線

別說太遠，以台灣為例：

近年連年暖冬，尤其冷時極冷，熱時極熱

去年九月裡連續每週有颱風來襲

降雨量屢創最高紀錄

造成橋斷路阻，河水氾濫，土石流不斷

這次莫拉克颱風更創出五十年來的最大破壞

白鷺鷥都怕颱風，墾丁動不動就有上千隻棲息

埤頭舊濁水溪生態已改變

俗稱食人魚的亞馬遜河鱷魚都已有人碰到

連蜜蜂都越來越難存活，蜂蜜產量銳減

螢火蟲、蛙類、綠蠵龜和玳瑁等已有滅絕徵兆

而越來越多有毒食品氾濫成災了

而越來越多怪病襲擊人類了

人類的劫數或許到來了

這些豈是偶然？

豈能歸諸天地不仁？

那是大自然的反撲！

自己所作所為自己應該負責

這是千古不易的道理

想找個藉口就推掉嗎？

恐怕沒那麼容易吧！

資料一再閃出警戒紅燈：台灣

每年每人二氧化碳的總排放量是全球平均的三倍

加上土地的濫墾、森林的濫伐與對動植物的殘害

大自然不反撲才怪！

正視現實吧！

為自己的行為負起責任吧！

停止對大自然的迫害吧！

不要為賺取不當利益去種植養殖吧！

不然，自作會自受的

別想挖個洞把自己埋進去！
