许其正：树的晨祷
早安，神啊
我是树
请垂听我由衷的祈祷：
暗夜已经过去
晨曦已经隐约初现
请太阳赶紧升上来吧
我需要太阳的光来制造氧气
他们人类正有待于氧气来救命呢
他们是制造废气的族类
在这公园里运动的他们
用他们的身体制造
从他们的嘴巴、鼻孔、屁股、皮肤
释放出来
污染大地，污染他们自己
这还不甚严重
在别的地方，或远或近
有他们经营的工厂
燃烧木材，燃烧油料，燃烧煤炭
从烟囱冒出浓浓的油烟、废气
那些更是不得了
除了臭而外
还有各种有毒的气体
弄得到处乌烟瘴气
毒害动物、植物，甚至他们自己
让万物和他们自己奄奄一息
原谅他们吧！
他们或许不自知
他们或许有他们的苦衷
为了喂饱他们的肚子？
为了赚取更多的财富？
为了扩张自己的势力？
不必去管那么多
他们是太可怜了
争生存，争权力，争钱财
不择手段，无所不为
不顾其他族类，甚至戕害自己
原谅他们吧
他们有他们不得已的苦衷
他们所做的他们不知道
可怜可怜他们吧！
请太阳赶快升上来
我需要太阳的光来制造氧气
他们正有待于那些氧气来救命呢
虽则他们没有自觉，不请求
我比他们更急呢！
请垂听我由衷的祈祷吧！
我是树
神啊，感谢您！
Morning Prayer of Trees Hsu ChiCheng
Good morning, oh, God
I am a tree
Please listen to my heartfelt prayer:
The darkness has passed
Morning rays begin to appear
Please let the sun rise up
I need sunshine to make oxygen
With which to save the lives of human beings
They are the type who make waste gas
While doing exercise in the park
They make it with their body
From their mouths, nostrils, buttocks, and skin
It is released
The earth is polluted, and they themselves are polluted
This is not so serious
In other places, either near or far
There are factories run by them
To burn timnber, fuel, and coal
Heavy lampblack and waste gas from chimneys
Bing more danger
In addition to their unpleasant smell
There are various poisonous gases
Everywhere is a foul atmosphere
To let animals, plants, even themselves poisonously
To drive myriads of beings and themselves to death’s door
Please forgive them!
Perhaps they do not know it
Perhaps they have their own worries and troubles
In order to fill their own stomachs?
In order to make more wealth?
In order to strengthen their power?
For all that
They are too piteous
Striving for existence, for power, for wealth
By hook or by crook, doing whatever they think is right
Irrespective of other families, even killing their own kind
Please forgive them!
They have their own worries and troubles
They do not know what they are doing
Please take pity on them!
Please let the sun rise up
I need sunshine to make oxygen
With which to save their lives
They lack conscious awareness, and they do not press for it
But I worry more than them!
Please listen to my heartfelt prayer!
I am a tree
Oh God, thank you!
