     O, Comet    Hsu ChiCheng

     A comet appears for replacing the old with the new.
                                                                        --Zuo Zhuan

O, comet! You have long been misconstrued
Many people say that you are a broom-star
And they spurn whenever you appear
Well, a broom-star is used for sweep-up
Yet your appearance is not to sweep off good luck
Whoever doesn’t know that a broom is used to sweep trash?
Indeed many trashes in the world need to be swept off
That maleficent evil person who commits crimes
Those politicians who take deceiving the public as their job
Those ruthless wars which killed so many people
They are all trashes, aren’t they?
Sweep! Do sweep them off!
Sweep! And also sweep off the bad fame forces upon you by others !
Never recoil! Although destruction isn’t worth encouraging
However, never forget:
Without destruction there can be no construction!

中文原詩如后:

     彗星呀    許其正

    彗星，所以除舊佈新也。

                    ——春秋左傳

彗星呀！你長久受委屈了

許多人都說你是掃帚星

見了你便吐一口唾液，說可以除厄運

是了，掃帚乃所以掃除之用

但你不是要來掃除好運的

誰不知道掃帚乃用以掃除垃圾？

世間真有不少垃圾需要掃除

那些作奸犯科的惡徒

那些專以口舌騙人的政客

那些殺人盈野，殘酷不堪的戰爭

不都是垃圾是什麼？

掃吧！大力地掃吧！

連人家加給你的惡名也給掃除掉！

別怕！破壞雖然不好

但是，別忘了：

要建設先需破壞！
