15 A Man of Word and Not Deeds

A man of words and not of deeds
Is like a garden full of weeds.
And when the weeds begin to grow,
It's like a garden full of sonw.
And when the snow begins to fall,
It's like a bird upon the wall.
And when the bird away does fly,
It's like an eagle in the sky.
And when the sky begins to roar,
It's like a lion at the door.
And when the door begins to crack,
It's like a stick across your back,
And when your back begins to smart,
It's like a penknife in your heart.
And when your heart begins to bleed,
You're dead, and dead, and dead indeed.

一個(gè)只說不做的人

一個(gè)只說不做的人，
就像是長滿雜草的花園。
當(dāng)雜草開始生長，
它就像是個(gè)被雪覆蓋的花園。
當(dāng)雪花開始紛飛，
它就像一只墻上的鳥。
當(dāng)鳥飛走了，
它就像天空中的鷹。
當(dāng)天空開始咆哮，
它就像門口的獅子。
當(dāng)門開始破裂，
它就像橫穿你脊背的木棍。
當(dāng)你的背開始刺痛，
它就像刺入你心中的鉛筆刀。
當(dāng)你的心開始流血，
你就真正地死亡，死亡，死亡。
