八苦诗

文/王一如

生之苦！非为我欲来，受之于父母。来之当面对，此为苦之础。

劳之苦！奔波复奔波，不论文与武。忍做违心事，换回五斗谷。

欲之苦！欲望千百桩，擂起半生鼓。愈求愈难得，得来终成土。

受之苦！有受应有予，人情猛于虎。雅俗必双受，婪心必成腐。

交之苦！沟通难中难，真心不知吐。不交难行事，交之防受蛊。

老之苦！辉煌散烟灰，憾事无可补。活力悄悄去，空余深城府。

病之苦！己身水火热，人前强笑语。柴米油盐乱，家人心如煮。

爱之苦！当婚不知爱，当爱多重阻。拿起放不下，此为苦上苦。

人生纵有千般苦，

不缺勇者当风舞。

八仙过海显神通，

唯有正直不可辱。

Eight sufferings

Written by Wang Yiru

Birth is suffered!

It is not desirable, but given by mother.

Labor is suffered!

To do things disliked for not feeling hunger.

Longing is suffered!

Nobody brings belongings into next life.

Obtaining is suffered!

Over demand easily makes a corruptor.

Contact is suffered!

Never knowing one’s face with heart.

Becoming old is suffered!

Lots of regrets accompany little honour.

Falling ill is suffered!

To let family go in sorrow and chaos.

Love is suffered!

It is very hard to find marriage together.

All sufferings come day and night,

But the braves are standing by.

No matter how you fight, remember

Human dignity must be upright.
