54. Dyah Setyawati Indonesia, I Call Your Name Without Doubt

54.

Dyah Setyawati

Indonesia, I Call Your Name Without Doubt

I loudly said your name without hesitation
since knowing breast milk
until you are able to spell and pronounce it fluently
as my homeland
with blue sky
miss the sea
jungle of time
comfortable in your arms

Indonesia, I say your name without hesitation
despite your haggard face
reflects the weary masturbation of a young child
about corruption
the law was plotted
be a spectacle of this century
then my tongue blurted out
before leaving
Goddamn it
don't be sluggish
because of sontoloyo
remain mighty be my Indonesia
homeland, emerald equator
full of love I think of you
how to sing it
in posterity
so that they are better than their ancestors
maintain the image of the nation and require it

Indonesia
in the solitude of my prostration
I aim for the arrow
in the almighty escape from mass incursion
will be the peace of the nation
my love and pride for you
Indonesia
