sang nyamuk bercerita

Semalam sang nyamuk padaku bercerita
Panjangnya kisah lara dan duka;

"Mereka berikanku darah setitik cuma
Setelah semalaman penat bekerja
Dan pemilik tanah tanpa satu pun usaha
Menghisap semua darah orang pekerja".


----------------------------

Last night the mosquito related to me
The whole story of his failures;

“They give me only one drop of blood
In return for the whole night’s labor
And this land owner without any effort
Sucked all the blood of the cultivator”.

Pencuri Kota Baghdad


All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
