短歌当哭悼川魂

Not a poet am I endowed
Yet an unbridled urge for verses
Mourns and cries out loud
For tears can’t soak up my condolences

Born a pious atheist, a disciple of none
Yet in Paradise I now believe
A heavenly miracle has just begun
All lost lives resurrect and re-live

Mother Earth perseveres and survives
China’s spine, cracked yet unbent
Heals slowly, revives and thrives
That’s Father Heaven’s intent

A double-edged sword called calamity
That shatters the weak-minded
Sharpens virtues and humanity
In God we trust, get united
