Consciousness

What can I finally do

When they don’t listen to me?

Systematically deny the truth

Will I shout or not…

Listen!

Children are being killed

In front of us

Can I accept this or not…

Lies programmed

being brainwashed,

Will I allow them or not…

And when they ask me, woman,

Why do you remain silent?

Shall I talk or not?

 

意 识

 

         荷兰  玛丽安. 艾克尔霍夫

 

 

当他们不听我的时候

我最终能做什么？

系统性地否认真相

我会不会大喊大叫......

 

听！

在我们面前

儿童正在被杀害

我能否接受这个事实......

 

谎言已编程

正被洗脑，

我是否允许他们......

 

而当他们问我，女人，

为什么你保持沉默？

我要不要谈谈？

MARIAN EIKELHOF

 

MARIAN EIKELHOF was born in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, in the year 1963. She is a poet who works in her daily life as a psychologist. Her work inspires her to write about the emotional aspects of life. Not only she describes in several languages about feelings of love, intimacy and desire, but also she reflects about states of profound sadness and feelings of emptiness. On the whole she criticizes dehumanization and an ongoing process of alienation in human relationships. Marian’s poetry book “ a zero hour contract with life” has been translated from Dutch into English and Turkish. There is also a Spanish version from her book, titled: Un contrato de zero horas con la vida. For children who are being bullied, she has written the book “Lekker Boeiend!” (“I am not impressed!”) and together with her sister Els Eikelhof she has written the manual “Feel Okay about Yourself” for teachers guiding children with a disability. Her poems have been published by several prestigious magazines, like AZAHAR from Spain and appear in a number of anthologies. Five years ago Marian has started the Foundation Literary International in which the aim is to facilitate intercultural exchange between countries by introducing each other to each other's different artistic expressions.
