ASK HEAVEN AND EARTH
Laozi says Heaven and Earth have no mercy.
The pastor says God is merciful.
On my way home I ask myself
Is there a merciful being?
There should be merciful beings,
otherwise ther’d be no-one to ask.
Second question,
is there anyone to forgive me?
I hope there is someone inside.
Enough for today!
It’s Sunday.
But writing this on Monday,
I think about heaven and earth.
People ask,
Is there a God?
No-one asks
about sky and earth.
So what about mercy?
Do I have to ask?
But you could say,
Asking for mercy makes it clear,
otherwise there would be no-one to ask.
Maybe this is why they say,
God is merciful.
Maybe this way
folks get to ask.

问天地
老子说天地不仁
牧师说上帝慈悲
回家路上我想
慈悲的生物有吗
慈悲生物应该有
否则不能有人问
第二个问题
有没有人原谅我
希望我心里就有
我想今天够了
反正礼拜天
不过第二天
才想到天地
一直有人问
有没有上帝
没有人问
有没有天地
那么有没有慈悲
也就不用问吧
不过也可以说
问慈悲就清楚
否则没有人问
也许所以说
上帝慈悲
也许这样
有更多人问
