Negative Poem by Luo Zhihai

負面

人生不幸，輕浮綺靡多遊戲
世態無能，機巧空虛少性情
冷月隱時，荒漠駝鈴驚羯鼓
陰風襲處，川江號子伴猿聲


Negative

The world is incompetent
—being ingenious and empty, less dispositions
Misfortune in life
—many frivolous, beautiful and extravagant games

When a cold moon hid
in the desert camel bells scared Jie drums
Where the chilly wind blew
work songs of Chuanjiang accompanied voices of apes
