壳

樊功生

总在一个刹那

打破你的

恰是那个最被溺爱的生命

脚踏着碎骨

骄傲地宣布

自由了

孰不知

这却是更大的制约

一切都在被疯狂优化

草地上闲游

拂晓时清唱

都被优化掉了

只有那个体重指标

要在最短的时间完成

别再折腾了

吃吧 睡吧

膨胀得越快

就越早离开这个牢笼

当然 那时候

是被掐着脖子拖出去的... 

Shell

By Ken Fan 

Always in a flash instant,

He breaks out,

That most treasured thing.

Stomping on broken shells,

He declares, 

My freedom!

Yet he's utterly unaware,

There exists an even bigger confinement.

Everything within is being frantically optimized.

Idle stroll on grass,

Crows in the morning,

All are optimized out.

Only that weight measurement

Needs achieved in the shortest time. 

No waste of time,

Go eating and sleeping.

The sooner you fatten, 

The sooner you would leave the cage. 

Only then, of course, 

You will be dragged out by your throat.
