21條活生生的生命

就這樣在幾秒鐘內倒下

消逝

留下了一個

無底的黑洞

在空蕩蕩的課桌與教室間

在他們家人悲慟的心中

在人類悲憫關切的心中

以及那些似人非人無動於衷的心中

不斷擴展

21 living lives

fall in a flash

and vanish

leaving behind

a black hole

to contain

the empty seats and classrooms

the mourning hearts

of their families and friends

the sympathetic hearts

of human beings

and the empty hearts

of the inhuman beings
