Thơ: Từ ngày bác vô đây...!!??

Before you guys arrived in here

I was not even born yet

Mom walked to school each morning

Rosy cheeks, a sweet sixteen

After you came, suddenly one day

Grandpa was persecuted and imprisoned

Every night Grandma shed mournful tears

Mom felt sullen -- her innocence was lost

Two years passed from the day you came

On a wintry morning which shrouded in mist

Armed with guns, you came knocking at our door

And whisked Mom away to a labor camp

After one month, Mom returned home

Nothing but skin and bones

Embracing Grandma, she wept:

They raped me, Ma, gang-raped and all!

And so I was born, a fatherless child

Grandma passed away, leaving Mom penniless

Mom scraped a living to support me

Dad was all the while anybody's guess!

Eighteen years after you came

We went totally broke

Mom died of a terminal illness

Now then, what's left but my own body to trade?

 Almost twenty years after you came

At sixteen, my body withered -- hardly a dish

I toiled from dawn to dusk

In return just for a loaf of bread!
