deep sorrow (English)


<2001.09.29(Sat)>
Sorrow spreads to my whole heart
as time goes by and I get in control.
Deep regret keeps me down, even when
both fundamentalists and militalists are found
to be unsupportable.
Some justify themselves with tricky humanism,
Some enjoy birds eyes on the war they believe
it a great entertainment.

Real sorrow is still in the beginning.
We must avoid another victim
if we really regret Manhattan's innocent people.
Those long for heroes
who justify the revenge, thinking in the same way
as extremists.

Now I found it,
Heroic stories we used to enjoy are the demagogues
by those who idealize a war.
Now I found it,
nobody is more unreliable than one who
fills his mouth with JUSTICE.
War comes from the men with loving hearts
that don't understand other one's loving hearts.

We can't make use of our losing experience,
we can't understand nuclear-bombed victims
in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Peace-prayers' words don't knock their hearts,
who have drown in the economic ocean.

Japan is planning to deliver our self-defence team,
to avoid being alone internationally.
Is there really nobody that prefers economic chaos
to a single soldier's passaway?
I'm afraid they don't listen to me
because they think a life is purchasable.

Americans and Afgans are the ones who are the most
afraid of war.
Yes, war is not a game, victory doesn't count.
How can we find joys in the sea of blood and tears?
We are not qualifed to cite HUMANISM
while making helping hands to the combat frontler.

I say I deny all the battles in the world.
Set your knife on my heart if you necesarilly
go to the battlefield.
Imagine your deep repent of killing your enemies
more strongly
than your fear of death.
