Sudanese Peace And Harmony In Indonesia Poem by Kimberly Burnham

Katentreman and Tengtrem
peace in Sudanese
spoken in West Java and Banten province
in Asia
where the language you use
depends of the age or status
of the person you are speaking to

Where the Sundanese people of Austronesian
not Africa can sit watching
the sunset on Sawarna Beach
in the Western part of the Indonesian island of Java
contemplating peace and harmony

Katentreman means peace
calmness ease and restfulness
we can rest calmly
when there is peace
sets our mind at ease
