A BELATED DIRGE
-- for the students perished in recent earthquakes
we should have sung the dirge for you
when they put down the shaky foundation
propped up shoddy beams
and whitewashed cruddy walls
Yet we all kept silence
waited for the earthquake to strike
burying you alive
now all we can do is wail
and sing a belated dirge

As always, thought provoking read.

感覺去掉cowardly效果會更好。

I think you are right. Using "cowardly" might be too telling. Thanks!

其實不僅是怯懦，也可以是冷漠、麻木，如此種種。
