For The Love Of Poetry Poem by Aj Anwar

find your poetry for it is love

share the spirit the power

forgo the politics of words

the intrigues of vanity even more

find your poetry for its love, no matter where

in newspaper prints or rural corners

for this world's worthless


________________


*)A translated version from Bahasa Indonesia

FOR THE LOVE OF POETRY

berpuisilah karena cinta

bagikan tebarkan ruh tenaganya

tak perlu tergoda politik kata

apalagi sekedar intrik harum nama

berpuisilah karena itu cinta, tak soal

di lembar koran atau lorong desa

harga dunia tak seberapa
