The First Morning After Curfew Lockdown-3

Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan （Netherlands）

the first morning after curfew in our country

I never expected
that the Dutch youth gather in large numbers
to make noise and defy the police

the most beautiful part of the city center
where the piano is in the train station,
all just destroyed
deprived the shops of drinks and cigarettes

this is the result of the great tolerance of the dutch state

the first morning after curfew
incendiary bombs on cars and town-centers

they have been breeding themselves on social media

they know that the police will not shoot or hit
but they beat up a police horse,
the sweet horse immediately fell dead
and the policeman seriously injured

Almost all shops destroyed and looted

I have no words for it
As Mrs. Kadijah has said:
this is not the Netherlands that the world knows about us,
the video images have already circulated around the world

Mrs. Kadijah is Speaker of our Parliament said also:
the world has never known us like this

Many people (many are about 20 years and also older men aged 50-60)
will be put behind bars, because this is really impossible.

They also have to pay for the substantial damage, which amounts to millions Euro

宵禁后的第一个早晨-3

希尔维亚•弗朗西丝•陈（荷兰）/诗
罗志海（中国）/译

我国宵禁后的第一个早晨

我没想到
荷兰年轻人聚集在一起
制造噪音和对抗警察

市中心最美丽的地方
火车站的钢琴，
全都毁了
抢掠了商店的饮料和香烟

这是荷兰政府高度宽容的结果

宵禁后的第一个早晨
汽车和城镇中心的燃烧弹

他们一直在社交媒体上培养自己

他们知道警察不会开枪或打人
但是他们打了一匹警马，
那匹可爱的马立刻倒地而死
那个警察受了重伤

几乎所有的商店都被摧毁和洗劫一空

我无话可说
正如卡迪杰夫人所说：
这不是全世界都知道的我们的荷兰，
这些视频图像已经在世界各地流传

卡迪杰夫人是我国议会议长，她还说：
世界从来没有这样认识过我们

许多人（许多人大约二十岁，也有五六十岁的老头）
会被关进监狱，法律不会宽恕他们。

他们还必须为巨大的损失支付赔偿，损失金额达数百万欧元
