Sami'an Adib
Garden Tomb of Heroes
Before the colonists came looting
the earth is lively ripah tablets jinawih
fruit, abundant spices
but the invaders have carved a dark note
on this chest wall with deep wounds
the soul is trapped in some cruel behavior
after the foreign looters were expelled
this country is not deterrent from raising prestige
scattered mines, the land is increasingly fertile
but the rumbling sadness that filled the chest never stopped
because the sacrifice of the fighters was not yet equal to an independent land
when people are still trapped in the pit of a snare of misery:
we often hear screams of farmers in the pile of their crops
buried by the remnants of imported commodities that come suddenly
on the pretext of material needs of the people began to scarce
while in the parliament building they did not find anyone
maybe still busy safari preparing a commercial booth
to display office chairs with all the secrets
I tried to collect the fighting flakes in frangipani petals
the memorial tomb of a forgotten hero
to spread again in the nursery persada soul
instant peace of mind created
vengeful fire goes out without coals
ruined prayerfully
: "Lord, they have arrived at the independent village
allow me tomorrow to find the true meaning
life free from the chains of prejudice and suspicion ”
