Red Sky Warning《红云凶兆》

“Red Sky Warning“, painting by Genevieve Beninger, poem by X. Mario Li
《红云凶兆》，加拿大画家贝灵杰原作，老哈配诗。

RED SKY WARNING

Boundless space. Endless time. Earth,
This gigantic ship without destination,
Drifts through the domain of unknowns.

And now, the human beings on board
Are intoxicated by the wonderful
Drinks of modern civilization.

Not far ahead, over half the sky,
Fire and brimstone are blasting through
The gradually opening gates of Hell.

Passengers, sailors and captain
On the ship of Earth,
Will you awake in time?!

《红云凶兆》

时空浩瀚。地球，
这没有抵达港的巨轮，
在不知名的领域里漂流。

而如今，巨轮上的人类
已被现代文明的美酒
醺得睡意正浓。

不远的前方，地狱
正缓缓开启大门，火焰和硝烟
已染红了大半个天。

地球舰上的人们，
乘客、水手、还有船长，
你们会及时醒来吗？！
