五一节 May Day
文／雨丝留莲
五月 － 春天的中年
一日 － 晚春的正午，夏天悄悄地等闲
五月一日 － 国际劳动节
我孩提时代理解光荣之书的第一页：
劳动光荣，是利他，是成果，是经验，
是成长，是自我实现，是一切
五一节
对不同的人有不同的含义
普世的意义只有一个：
五一节只属于北半球 －
五一节
对古希腊人是异教徒的迎夏节
鲜花盛开中开启欢歌载舞的热烈
那才是五一节的初始起源
南半球那时正走向冬天！
五一节
对芝加哥的劳工是纪念中的热血
是美利坚不愿停留注视的一页
五一节
对全世界空想社会主义者是人设体验
其中的甜酸苦辣历经河东河西三十年
如今有多少人还会灌同样的唱片：
“劳动者啊，爱你的心永不变！”
五一节
对飞行中的人是危难中的紧急求援：
May Day，May Day是 m'aidez
生死仅是一线天
五一节
悲喜参半，假期中的人能否抽点时间
赠予依然劳作的人们以尊敬和爱怜?

May Day
by Rain Retained Lotus
Month of
May - the prime of Spring
Its first day -
the noon of late
Spring,with Summer quietly waiting
May Day - International Workers'
Day
On Book of
Glory I learned in childhood its first page:
Working means
glory,selflessness,fruits,experience,
Growth, self actualization, and everything
May Day
Means different things to different people
But its universality rests on the same root:
May Day belongs only to Northern
Hemisphere -
May Day
An ancient Greek pagan holiday celebrating the beginning of
Summer
When singing and dancing 'mid blooming flowers kicked start
vigor
That was the origin
of the May Day
When Southern Hemisphere was going towards
winter!
May Day
Is in memory of
the blood shed by
Chicago workers
A page the United States reluctant to pause for a close
reading
May Day
Is a memento of human design by the Utopians of the world
In it workers walking
through bittersweet cycles of
metamorphosis in repetition
Nowadays how many of us are still thinking of making the
same song recording:
"O workers,my loving heart for you can withstand
eternity! "
May Day
It's a cry for "help me" in air-flight emergency:
May Day, May
Day is synonymous with m'aidez
A thin line in sky that divides life and death
May Day
With half joy 'n half sorrow, may
those on holiday be kind to share a moment
Of respect and mercy with those who are still
working?
