"Politics is a way to rob the world. Politics is a way to overthrow power, to enjoy a turn in power."
"Living in fantasy, living in reality makes no difference. Because fantasy is expressed, and reality is imagined." "What kind of life is this? In a dark garden, people sell their bodies, just to fill their mouths." "What can a poet do when every word is fought against with power?" "We have become strangers in our own ancestral land." "If criticism can only be expressed through official channels, then life will be like a vegetable without salt." "There are birds, leaves, kapok, wind, and perhaps even dust settling in my song."
"Not death that shakes my heart, But life that is not alive due to loss of power and loss of nature.""Loving you is both happy and sad; happy because I have you in my heart; sad because we often part.""Isn't life itself happy and sad? Happy because breath flows and heart beats, sad because thoughts are overshadowed."
"We try to hide our sorrow, we try to bury the pain and suffering, but the agony cannot be hidden. It spreads everywhere."
"I live and exist in its entirety. I alone have the right to my own truth. And the pleasure felt in doing something indicates that I must indeed do it.""I call out, but there is no response, only silence in the frozen air.""Life goes on between the stern and the helm. Limitations only further unite memories.""Fate is the solitude of each individual.""Some things change, some things endure. Because time cannot be fought against. What is certain is that beliefs must be fought for."
"I am alive. In life, everything appears to be moving." "Alright, alright, I will face Him. Surrendering myself and all sins." "In calm waters, in gentle breeze, in the feeling of everything coming to an end. Death reigns, saying: Direct the boat towards my embrace only." "Life is just delaying defeat, becoming more estranged from the love of elementary school, and knowing that there are things left unspoken, before finally surrendering."
"It just wants to silently cry while walking alone in the drizzling rain in a deserted alley one morning."
"Which poor person would have the intention to spend time creating ghosts just to scare people?" "I love you. That's why I will never stop praying for your safety." "I want to love you simply. With words that wood never had the chance to say to the fire that turned it into ashes." "Perhaps life is a long prayer, and silence is hard liquor. He feels as if God is watching him suspiciously; he hurries."
"In the middle of the field, I live alone, enduring the Sun." "Perhaps it has heard it too often, and no longer recognizes it." "Release everything from your mind, the colorful lines crossing in your mind." "The Sun and I do not argue about who among us has created shadows." "Jakarta is a love that is not erased by rain, not worn out by heat. Jakarta is affection."
"Then it appears on the flat screen. Colorful puppet displaying emotions. Longing heart follows along. Two souls become intimate."
"The bergamot leaves turn their faces. Floating peacefully in the ocean of light."If the mist clears away. The radiant light of ridla shines within. The light of longing radiates outward."I am a doll, you are a doll. The puppeteer entertains with his songs. On the screen of flowers, we exchange glances. Only as long as the song lasts."I am trapped in melancholy. The weather is hazy and gloomy. The arena of my heart feels tight and constricted. My disappointed body feels suffocated."Together, we break the fruit. Working tirelessly in the face of the world. The Malay curse blossoms in melancholy. Only happiness smiles fragrantly.""
"
Golek gemilang ditukarnya pula Aku engkau di kotak terletak. Aku boneka engkau boneka Penyelang dalang mengarak sajak.
Aduh bahagia bunga kemuning; Diri dihimpit kucupan rindu.
Tiada bersua dalam dunia. Tiada mengapa hatiku sayang. Tiada dunia tempat selama. Layangkan angan meninggi awan.
Di bawah teduh engkau kembangkan. Aku berhenti memati hari. Pada bayang engkau mainkan. Aku melipur meriang hati.
" "Golek gemilang is exchanged I you in the box located. I doll you doll Penyelang dalang parade poem." "Oh happiness of the kemuning flower; Self is embraced by the kiss of longing." "No meeting in this world. No reason why my heart loves. No world is a place forever. Let dreams soar high like clouds." "Under your shade, you bloom. I stop the passing days. In your shadow, you play. I soothe the lonely heart.""The best time in someone's life is the time when they can use the freedom they have fought for themselves."
"And how beautiful life is without crawling in front of others." "In our lives, we only have one thing, which is courage. If we don't have that, then what is the value of our lives?" "Beach Girl! She is an independent woman. She never depends on others. She even does the toughest jobs herself." "Because you write. Your voice will not be extinguished by the wind, it will be eternal, far away, in the future."
"Then the night continues its task: empty of all feelings." "The mistake of smart people is to consider others foolish, and the mistake of foolish people is to consider others smart." "All men are indeed cats pretending to be rabbits. As rabbits, they eat all the leaves, and as cats, they eat all the meat." "A teacher is a sacrifice, a sacrifice forever. And their duty is too heavy, to uncover the hidden sources of goodness within the bodies of the nation's children."
"Representatives of the people? Representatives of the people are just a stage for a drama. And I don't like being a clown, even if it's a big clown."
