RENUNG TERMENUNG

Malam ini Mae termenung
Kenapa Mae termenung?
Karena hanya termenung
Pekerjaaan yang tersisa

Mae bukan sarjana
Bagaimana memberi makan-sekolahkan anak
Itukan urusan pemerintah
Tetapi kapan giliran itu tiba

Tanyakan pada janji-janji yang terlupa
Karena hanya temenung masih tersisa
Karena termenung juga disebut kerja
Karena termenung terbebas dari dusta

Karena banyak yang termenung adanya penguassa
Hanya saja termenung belum memiliki Perda
Mae sampai mati masih termenung
Ah, Negeri yang suka termenung

Banda Aceh, 10/11/09

Din Saja (Fachruddin Basyar) penyair Aceh kelahiran Banda Aceh 31 Januari 1959

REFUGEED MINDSET

Tonight Mae was pensive
Why is Mae pensive?
Because only pensive
The remaining work

Mae is not a scholar
How to feed-school children
That's government affairs
But when the turn came

Ask for forgotten promises
Because only temenung still remaining
Because pensive also called work
Because the pensive is free from lies

Because many are pensive the existence of the ruler
It's just a pensive yet to have a law
Mae to death still pensive
Ah, a dreamy country

Banda Aceh, 10/11/09

Din Saja (Fachruddin Basyar) Acehnese poet who was born in Banda Aceh on 31 January 1959
