Hug Me Tight
作者：陳國雄
Someone sighs
in a distant land
A child shot
and wonders why
I am not okay
the child looks at her own blood
I am not fine
with tears crying for help
Can someone please hold me
I am so afraid
I don’t know what to do
I am just a child
Can someone please
hug me tight
My parents killed
by foreigners
US doing a great job
making useless war
Scaring everyone
in my country to death
I am a war child
with no family left
My family lineage
will end with me
My civilization
thousands of years old
I am the last of an ancient people
My 5,000 year family tree
extinct by a US bullet
The bullet has an address
Independence Missouri USA
Can someone return this bullet
to its maker with my picture
I will be dead
I am only a child
I was shot with this bullet
made in Missouri
and shot by a US soldier
Does anyone in America care
Your bullet just killed me
a child
Dying alone is dreadful
and cold
What did I do wrong
Why is this bullet so evil
that it had to track down
a foreign child to kill
Please can someone hug me
and hold me tight
I am dying
and I haven’t finished school yet
I am dying
and I haven’t married yet
I haven’t made a family yet
How can this be
Let me grow old please
like everyone else
Let me live in peace
like Americans do
Where is Independence Missouri USA
Is it next to hell
Before my last breath
All I want is a hug
from someone who cares
whether a child lives or dies
Before I stop breathing
Can someone please
hold me tight
And tell me
everything is alright
An earthly hug
is my dying wish
to pass me onto heaven
Don’t let this death kiss from a bullet
be my final fate
A foreign bullet made in Independence
Missouri USA
Before I stop breathing
Can someone please
hold me tight
And tell me
everything is alright
