At the beginning of the poem, a "heavenly question" is put forward: "Did this planet create us/or did we change this planet". Perhaps the most important thing here is not what kind of answer we can give-in fact, it is meaningless to give a simple, either-or answer-but the question itself, which is put forward by juxtaposing "planet" with "us". This is an open and thought-provoking tension structure, and the whole poem is actually centered around "the planet" and "us". The image of "tiger" at the beginning of the poem is quite symbolic: "Oh, tiger! Wavy armor/digital light. The only will. " It reminds people of The Tiger written by the English poet william blake. Both of them embody obvious life will and humanistic attributes, but their more likely source should come from native land and nationality, because the tiger is one of the primitive totems of the Yi people. "Tiger" has rich connotations in poetry. Sometimes it represents a transcendental and metaphysical "God", sometimes it represents other creatures other than human beings, and sometimes it represents all creatures on the earth. Perhaps it can be said in a general way that it represents a will of life. At present, this life will is facing a serious survival crisis.
With the rapid development of science and technology, human beings seem to be invincible, returning home in triumph and omnipotent. However, "when the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow." When human beings are arrogant and cocky, it is precisely when crises accumulate strength and darkness grows. Paradoxically, this time, the virus that made seemingly powerful human beings pay a heavy price was too small to be seen by the naked eye. It cannot be said that it contains the dialectics of the universe. It is precisely because mankind is too strong and lacks awe that it has caused some imbalance in the epidemic crisis: "This war finally broke out in an invisible way. /oh! An ancient enemy. Who broke into your house? Offense can be used as a metaphor/it seems to alleviate a little sin, but it is indeed human beings who have awakened you from tens of thousands of years of sleep. /From one city to another, from one country to another,/It crosses traditional borders, although there are heavily armed soldiers,/It crosses sovereign airspace, because no one can stop the free airflow,/The most advanced detectors have not found its strange whereabouts. " This is really a war. Humans need to protect themselves from this invisible enemy, and at the same time, they need to deeply reflect on their way of thinking and behavior.
Life is precious, but the attitude towards life is different. Some people are self-centered and cold-blooded, while others respect others and live in harmony. Gidemaga's outlook on life reflects the mind of a humanitarian in a broad sense: "This is a War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression that belongs to all mankind. Regardless of region. /If I had a choice, I would choose to protect every life/instead of using abstract politics to interpret the meaning of freedom. /I think Adorno and the poet Cardenal will agree,/because even the humblest life is always higher than empty preaching. " It embodies a poet's childlike innocence. "Every life" is life, "the most humble life" is life, and life is worthy of respect, awe and care. The situation written in the poem is very touching.
The epidemic situation is an era full of uncertainties, contradictions and problems. "This is the time when lies and truth haunt the network together/this is the time when Gandhi's people make the distant elk uneasy/this is the time when the brilliance and darkness of human nature meet/this is the most difficult time to trust each other or question opponents/this is the time when language gives people hope and provokes hatred/this is the time when some people are confused and the other half are worried" ... Human beings need to attach great importance to it. There's only one chance to catch a horseshoe. "So, the poet is pessimistic about the future of mankind? Not really! He is still optimistic. He believes in human beings, life and the future.
The poem reads: "I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but I know the world will be changed/yes!" " No matter what happens, I will firmly believe that-/the sun will rise tomorrow, the dawn will still be like a lover's eyes/warm wind will blow through the abdomen of the earth, and mothers and children will still play there/the blue of the sea will also rise with dreams and become the love nest of the midnight stars. "This picture of life is warm, beautiful and poetic, and the future is still worth looking forward to. Of course, Gidemaga has both the enthusiasm and sensibility of romanticism and the calmness and rationality of modernism: "Labor and creation are still the main ways for human beings to obtain happiness, and most people will agree that human beings will still survive, good and evil will be accompanied, and the struggle between human beings and themselves will not stop/there is no obvious hint at the entrance of time, so you should be bold and be more careful. Enthusiasm and calmness, boldness and prudence are equally important.
The subtitle of Divided Planet is "Dedicated to all mankind, all life". The whole poem is also a tribute to "all mankind and all life" in a certain sense. Even in a very difficult "dark moment", we should believe in people, life and the light at the end of darkness. Similarly, although the current "planet" has been "cracked", it is not inseparable and irreparable. This is a severe test for mankind, but it is by no means the end of the world. We should believe that human beings have enough wisdom to find a way to deal with it. Different races, different countries, different concepts, even different species and different lives should strive to find a model of * * * life, * * * existence and * * * common development, and realize "each has its own beauty" and "beauty and beauty".
