Expiation

Expiation

When they set about scalping the game

The tribal hunters would pray

“Pardon me for the killing and eating

For all that I take I will repay

In my afterlife. I will be your game

And you hunts me. Or i will be

The grass that your tribe graze on.”

Those getting their daily meat from the market

how many reincarnations would it take to pay the debt?

赎罪 

打到猎物开始剥皮时

有些部族的猎人会祈祷：

“我猎杀你是为了我的生存

宽恕我吧，我所得到的一定偿还

在你我的来世，我和你对换

成为你的猎物，或三秋草木

饲养你，以及你的族类！”

而天天从市场卖肉的人，可曾想过

要几世轮回才还得清这宿债呢？
