1. Today
Author: Rayhandi
Today we stand in front of the mirror
Looking at the look of clothes
Looking at myself in amazement
We turned dexterously
Look at our faces tonight
Tough without shame
Like a concrete wall
Radiate with pride
Today we stand
On the black ground
In clear blue water
In the clear white air
But did you know?
The land we tread is the sweat of heroes
They fight for the land we walk and the water we drink
On a date
We can fly without getting trapped
Can scream without choking
All because of his service.
2. Gerylia
Author: W S Rendra
Blue body
blue eyes
men are rolling down the street
The wind hangs
the bitter taste of tobacco
dam of grievances and disasters
Blue body
blue eyes
men are rolling down the street
With seven bullet holes
knocked on the gates of paradise
and lit the young sun
let go of his anger
The girl walks in the red dawn
with vegetables on the back
look first
He gave out a sweet cry
and mourn the carrot leaves
Blue body
blue eyes
men are rolling down the street
The villagers knew him
widow’s son with wavy hair
dithimba water bergantang-gantang
watered his body
Blue body
blue eyes
men are rolling down the street
Drive safely through the Dutch station
shelter the color of the night
entered the city by himself
wants to bury his mother
3. Pointed bamboo
Author: Rayhandi
At the tip of a sharp bamboo brush
Tear the enemy at mercy
The sharp blade hurts
Ready to swallow the enemy
The tip of the bamboo is a witness
Black pain
Drive out demons with life
No fear, no fear
Love for the country
United by red blood
Rooted in white bones
Mastering the breath
They fight until they disappear
Divorce from the body
For the earthly eagle
For Indonesia Paradise
They died with honor
Fight for a piece of freedom
The one that was stolen
For one independence.
