Snail
By Yu Feng (Jul. 2, 2009)
My shell
Is all I've got
The wind and the dew
Is what I eat and drink
For most of the time
I stay in my shell
In the early mornings
Towards the fresh air
I stick to the humid body
Enjoying the favor of nature
Step by step
I walk as light as air
I don't care
About the outside world
Not longing, either
Someone may look down upon me
Just because I am so small
Even smaller than his little finger
My shell is so thin
Much thinner than the tortoise's
And I am not having eminent background
Then, he picks me up
Curiously turns me over and over again
Despises my history
Reviles my family
Overrides my aksing for nothing
And keeps on saying that you the little wretch
It is us man who build the skyscrapers
Construct the parks
So that you now have got a foothold
But you are not important at all
Neither being too many with you
Nor being too few wihtout
With these words your emotion flying higher and higher You gave me a hard throw onto the ground
My shell was broken
My life was taken away
Though I am not living in the age of Sima Qian
Or in the Galileo's
I had the same destiny with them
I just can't understand
I never thought to compare with others
Nor did I annoy others
I just want to be myself——
A snail
I didn't ask for much
I did no harm to the environment
I made no big contribution to man
I just simply wanna be
A snail
Silently
But even this right
Was finally
Taken away
I'd like to tell my friends
Never attach the busy streets
Keep far away from the crowd
Return to nature
Staying in the shell
To be a little happy snail
