《人性與靈魂》

中國詩人｜易白

我問人性：人為何老在折騰？

人性分開了我所見的人格說：

錢，讓人又愛又恨，又生又死

權，讓人又尊又卑，又忙又累

名，讓人又紅又黑，又爭又悔

利，讓人又得又失，又奪又棄

我問靈魂：人為何那么矛盾？

靈魂撕開了我所見的好壞說：

色，讓人又瘋又癡，又貪又懼

情，讓人又迷又憎，又戀又恨

愛，讓人又喜又悲，又合又分

家，讓人又笑又泣，又聚又離

Human Nature and Soul
Chinese Poet｜E-Bai

I asked Human Nature: why strive with such unrest?
It parted the selves I knew, and thus expressed:
Wealth — loved and hated, birthing life and death in turn;
Power — lifts and lowers, wearies as we yearn;
Fame — bright then dark, fought for, then mourned in burn;
Gain — held and lost, taken then spurned.

I asked the Soul: why torn by contradiction’s art?
It tore the good and bad apart, and spoke its part:
Desire — mad and clinging, greedy yet afraid;
Passion — charms then chills, in love and hatred laid;
Love — brings joy and grief, unites and breaks the braid;
Home — holds laughter, tears, gathers and will fade.
