谨以此诗，抗议以“安全”之名收紧自由出入的管理规定
作者：吕聪 Lyu Cong
我是一只鸟
从出生那天起
我就向往天空
向往清风
向往自由的飞翔
我想知道
天空有无尽头
我想飞过高山
我想越过河流
我想看看远方的模样
我相信
我生来就该飞翔
就该拥有自己的方向
就该在属于自己的天空里
自由地歌唱
于是
我展开翅膀
一次又一次的去飞翔
直到有一天
天空乌云密布
我飞到屋檐下
一只笼子
悄然出现在身旁
起初
我没有在意
依旧歌唱
我依旧相信
只要我想飞
就能去翱翔
可后来
有人轻轻关上了笼门
“咔哒”
一把锁
挂在了门前
锁住了希望
我愣住了
我问
为什么
没有回答
我又问
我做错了什么
依然没有回答
只是那把锁
一天比一天沉重
而笼中的规矩
一年比一年更疯狂
有人告诉我
这里很安全
不要去飞翔
有人告诉我
天空很危险
不要去远望
有人告诉我
只要安静地待着
就可以继续歌唱
于是
我慢慢学会了低头
我开始忘记风的味道
云的方向
忘记那双翅膀
竟是为了飞翔
我也渐渐忘记
我曾多么渴望
渴望飞过山岗
渴望跨越海洋
渴望在自由的天空里
寻找自己的方向
可每当夜深人静
月光落进笼中的时候
我还是会抬起头
望着那片遥远的天空
我轻轻地歌唱
一声 又一声
歌声穿不过笼门
却穿过了漫长的黑夜
那不是欢乐的歌
而是一只鸟
对自由最后的渴望
鸟儿若失去了飞翔
即使笼子再大
也不过是一座
看不见墙的牢房
我是一只鸟
一只向往天空
向往清风
向往自由的鸟
哪怕门上
已经挂满了锁
哪怕岁月
一天天老去
哪怕有人告诉我
你已经习惯了这里
可我知道——
只要我还记得天空
就不会忘记——
我是一只鸟
而鸟儿
应该在天空中
勇敢的振翅高飞
自由的翱翔

The Bird in the Cage
Dedicated to protesting the tightening of entry and exit management regulations under the name of “security”
By Lyu Cong
Abstract: Through the perspective of a bird, this poem conveys the restriction of citizens’ freedom and the impact on the human body and mind following the promulgation of new entry and exit management regulations. However, no matter how many regulations there are, they can only restrict physical freedom, but cannot shackle the freedom of the mind or the longing for liberty.
I am a bird
From the day I was born
I longed for the sky
Longed for the clear breeze
Longed to fly freely
I wanted to know
Whether the sky has an end
I wanted to fly over high mountains
I wanted to cross rivers
I wanted to see what distant places look like
I believed
I was born to fly
Born to have my own direction
Born to sing freely
In a sky of my own
So
I spread my wings
And took flight time and time again
Until one day
Dark clouds covered the sky
I flew under the eaves
A cage
Quietly appeared beside me
At first
I paid it no mind
I kept on singing
I still believed
That as long as I wanted to fly
I could soar
But later
Someone gently shut the cage door
“Click”
A lock
Was hung before the door
Locking away hope
I stood stunned
I asked
Why
There was no answer
I asked again
What did I do wrong
Still, there was no answer
Only that lock
Grew heavier with each passing day
While the rules inside the cage
Grew wilder with each passing year
Someone told me
It is very safe here
Do not fly
Someone told me
The sky is very dangerous
Do not gaze into the distance
Someone told me
As long as I stay quietly
I can keep on singing
So
I slowly learned to bow my head
I began to forget the smell of the wind
The direction of the clouds
And forget that this pair of wings
Was meant for flying
I also gradually forgot
How deeply I once longed
Longed to fly over mountain ridges
Longed to cross the oceans
Longed to find my own direction
In the free sky
Yet whenever night falls and all is quiet
When moonlight spills into the cage
I still lift my head
Gazing at that distant sky
I sing softly
One note and then another
The singing cannot pierce the cage door
Yet it pierces the long, dark night
That is no song of joy
It is a bird’s
Final longing for freedom
If a bird loses its flight
No matter how large the cage may be
It is nothing more than
A cell without visible walls
I am a bird
A bird that longs for the sky
Longs for the clear breeze
Longs for freedom
Even if the door
Is already heavy with locks
Even if the years
Age day by day
Even if someone tells me
You have grown accustomed to this place
Yet I know—
So long as I still remember the sky
I will not forget—
I am a bird
And a bird
Should, in the sky,
Bravely spread its wings and fly high
And soar in freedom
