English Translation of Mr Szeto Wah’s Poetry

1.

“My presence is not needed at the Moment of Victory,

As long as I am part of the Successful Journey.”

2.

“Peacefully defy the 4^th June (Tian An Man) Massacre,

We have not yet succeeded in our Freedom Revolution,

The Building blocks of Democracy,

Require the hard work of One & All.”

3.

“With a Sword, a Flute, and my strong Resolve,

One can tame the Wildest Warrior to abide by my Peace-loving goals.

I will not be  beating any Fence with thoughts of Regrets,

Nor do I need an elegant silk handkerchief to wipe away my Tears.”

4.

“From Birth to Death, the Flowers of my ideals, glow a Vibrant Red

In the midst of the Furies, the Moonlit shadow cast by my flowering aspirations,

Will never be swayed by any transient storms.”
