Afternoon, thunderous curse has sworn life
anger is his homeland
injustice is a sky roof that raises seedings dark clouds of inhumane crime
hurricane will become the next night
while the police has been foxed
the prosecutor has been shamed into doing
the judge has been stabbed in his heart
and the right has been conjured up to become the wrong
otherwise, the wrong is the hero
in which now it has imprisoned a poor man who is powerless and innocent
Afternoon, a bird has witnessed
he will never eat worms or seeds
but chop his eyes
*For Satumin, while he has been imprisoned by injustice
(Language: Bahasa Indonesia)
Puisi Sore untuk Satumin
Sore, gemuruh serapah menyumpah kehidupan
Amarah adalah tanah airnya
Ketidakadilan adalah kolong langit
yang menyemai benih-benih mendung gelap kejahatan kemanusiaan
Hujan badai adalah malam yang kan datang,
tepat di mana polisi kau kibuli
jaksa kau paksa-paksa
hakim kau tikam nuraninya
dan kebenaran kau sulap sebagai kesalahan
sebaliknya, kesalahan adalah pahlawan
yang kini sedang memenjarakan orang-orang miskin
yang polos tak berdaya
Sore, seekor burung bersaksi
tak akan lagi makan cacing, bebijian atau bebatuan,
tapi mencincang bola matanya sendiri
*Untuk Satumin, ketika ia dipenjara negara karena ia benar
