Aku Poem by Chairil Anwar

Aku



If my time should come
I'd like no one to entice me
Not even you
No need for those sobs and cries

I am but a wild animal
Cut from its kind

Though bullets should pierce my skin
I shall still strike and march forth

Wounds and poison shall I take aflee. Aflee
'Til the pain and pang should disappear

And I should care even less

I want to live
for another thousand years

I loved this poem. I read it when I was n Middle school, of course in Indonesian version. I feel the brave heart and strong spirit of this poem.
