Perih Telah berlalu

Hari ini,

yah! tepatnya hari ini
Sebulan sudah,

Kejadian naas itu terjadi.

Tak ada lagi goresan merah di dahi

bagai bekas kerokan.

Perih di sekujur tubuh tak lagi terasa

Namun bayangan akan apa yang pernah terjadi

terus dan terus datang menyapa

dan

kenangan akan pengalaman nan perih

di Hari Ulang Tahun Negeri Elok ini

Untuk selamanya

bersemayan di hati.

was
The time when
Two innocent friends who
traveled the road long,
seeking for a never-ending wisdom
were unexpectedly smacked.

Their journey was blocked,
They were harmed,
They were injured,
by a heartless creature.


No aesthetic word of apology
was expressed.
Whereas, not long before
She just proclaimed:
“Free”
“Live Indonesia”

Kau Dikenang Selamanya

17 Agustus.
Sejak tahun 1945 hingga detik ini,
kau menjadi hari bersejarah
Yang abadi di kenang anak bangsa ini.
Bukan itu saja, namun
kau telah tercatat dalam ensiklopedi dunia.
Karena kau,
Penghuni dunia menatap
Negeri ini,
Bangsa ini,
INDONESIA.
Menghormati
Panji Merah-Putih
Memuji
Dasar Negara-Pancasila.
Mempelajri
Bahasa Indonesia.
Hadirmu membuat
Lapangan-lapangan dibanjiri
barisan para pewaris takhta kemerdekaan negeri ini
yang tampil anggun
dengan gaun-gaun indah nasional, melantunkan
Himne Indonesia Raya,
berdiri tegak menatap angkasa,mengangkat tangan,
dan menghormati panji kemenangan,
Sembari berucap:
Merdeka!
dan berbisik di hati
penuh harapan:
DAMAI NEGERIKU dan SEJAHTERA BANGSAKU.

Imaginations

Store them not in the princely home
for when they enjoy living in such splendor
and comfortable palace,
they are not willing to leave it.

Open the mansion’s gate,
let them
breath the freedom and
travel freely
to reach hearts’goals.

Carry them out
into splendid deeds
for
the virtue of mankind
or else
They will remain mare

Merah Semangatmu&Putih Cintamu

Sang perkasa
Berjubahkan semagat.
Seiring munculnya pesona
surya pagi yang ramah menyapa,
Ia bangkit menyuarakan secerah harapan:
Wahai tunas muda penggerak roda hidup,

Mari!
Tanggalkan yang kusam,
yang kelam,dan yang rapuh.
Mari!
Raih dan kenakan yang baru, yang indah,
dan yang lembut selembut sutra.
Mari!
Tegoklah kedalam dan dengarlah
Suara pejuang tanah ini dahulu.
Mari!
Tolehlah kebelakang,
Lihatlah apa juang mereka.
Demi sebauh nama: Indonesia,
darah merah dibiarkan menetes.

Ya!
Kau bangga akan nama ini,
Kau bangga hidup di tanah ini,
Kau bangga menjadi anak negeri ini.
Tapi,
Apa sumbanganmu
Tuk’ pertahankan nama dan tanah ini?

Ayo, Mari Bangkit!
Sumbangkan Merah semangatmu
Serah putih cintamu,
Tuk’majunya nusa ini,
Tuk’makmurnya penghuni pertiwi ini.

The Goddess of Rice

In countless of time
Here, in the central of the earth
She stands firmly
So astonishing
So beautiful
So powerful
And magnificent indeed.

Her open hands
Are always ready to cuddle.
Her secure womb is ready to give birth.
Her offspring feel secure when sit on her lap.
Yes...Yes...Yes
They are absolutely proud of her.

Previously, from time to time
Songs of praise were sung before her dignity,
Stories of her motherly love
Were broadcasted throughout entire land,
For she was the most highly adored Queen.

Currently,
The Queen is still presence before her throne,
Yet, she seems to be ignored
Her genuine love is exploited
Her splendors are annihilated
Her beloveds disregarded her.

The tears of sorrow droop
From the discarded souls
Wanting for her warm hug,
Longing for her secure womb to conceive new life,
But will it be possible?
For the womb is fully occupied by the prodigal sons

Even if life keeps on changing,
Her name will be forever exalted
Her presence will be continuously honored
For she was, she is and she will be always
The most adorable
Goddess of Rice

The Praiseworthy Companion

Like the passing wind it comes
When it comes and goes
No one can tell
Like the rising sun were its presence
So bright and so warm.

With open hands and open heart
welcome it.
For it is such a precious gift
Send from heaven above.

Enter the friendship door greatfully
Journey it honestly and faithfully
For this precious moment is a unique one
Only for you both.

There will be a moment
When a new gift will be sent
To each one of you.
Claps the new one ,
Forget not the previous friends,
and feel sad not to say good bye
to the old one.

Just be thankful
for you are an aristocrate
of the friendship’s realm.

The friend has to live a new life
And so have you
Yet the living memory
Of the marvel companionship
Will be evermore abide in both souls.
