Maria Sudibyo Poems

If you call them a sin
Do you stone them and let them die?
If you call them a fault
Do you not see them as still human being?
...

It never said that God only creates male and female
What about the plant?
What about the animal?
If God creates some with two sex in one body
...

Don't cry me over my grave
I'm not there, I'm not there
Don't place me on your altar
I'm not there, I'm not there
...

For promise, for destiny
For love, for a chance
For light, for happiness
For freedom, for peace
...

I don't mind to search
But I don't like it when I don't know any clue at all
I don't mind to study
But I don't like it if you keep reminding me about that
...

Though devil comes to mock
So thin so thin your chance now
Grit your teeth and attack
...

I long for the day when I believe I'm innocent
Now whose hands that tainted with blood?
I miss the day when I could be a naive
Now whose words that coated with deceiver?
...

If you feel something unfamiliar
Don't deny but ask why
It only leads to a confusion
But if you could admit your selfishness
...

There is one episode in your life
That you gladly kill, destroy, and rip it from your memory
Just to make it forgotten forever
There is one episode in your life
...

Fall heavily again this afternoon
Roll up your skirt, your useless umbrella
Get soaked in flooding battle
...
