'Songsang'

Maafkan aku
kalau aku sering saja
berlaku songsang
Terutama di perayaan
tahunan seperti ini

Apabila semua orang telah sedia duduk
aku bangun berdiri

Apabila orang bangun bertepuk
aku duduk

Apabila orang ghairah berbincang
aku tidur

Apabila orang melepaskan merpati
aku menabur padi

Orang lain telah merdeka
aku belum

Maafkan aku kalau aku sering saja
berlaku songsang
Aku hanya ingin mengingatkan

I didn't wrote that - obviously. It's written by A. Latiff Mohidin in 1977. I think this sajak is so fitting with what I'm going through right now. This sajak really made an impression on me that I just gotta put it here. It's rare that I appreciate something Malay, sadly to say. But heck, if Geography is based on the OC, we'll be Indonesians!
