Shen Haobo poem

Shen Haobo
AMERICA RUSHES INTO THE STREETS
(Second version)

America holds down America
America oppresses America
America pleads with America
America ignores America
America kills America

America suffocates
America cries for America
America rushes into the streets
America fights against America
America burns America

America’s rocket shoots into the sky
America’s blacks rush into the streets
Remember that time?
We are all people
People massacre people

People fight and resist people
People pursue freedom
People thirst for equality
The battle is not up in the sky
Always has been down in the streets

美国冲上街头(修改)

美国摁住美国
美国压迫美国
美国哀求美国
美国漠视美国
美国杀死美国

美国窒息而死
美国哭喊美国
美国冲上街头
美国反抗美国
美国焚烧美国

美国火箭上天
美国黑人上街
记住这个时刻
我们都是人类
人类屠杀人类

人类反抗人类
人类追求自由
人类渴望平等
战场不在天上
从来都在街头
