Red, white, blue
Raging colors against liberated canvas
Reddish apathy
Aroused with anger
Explosion of painted bullets
Misty rendition
Collective narcissism
Colliding pridefully, irresponsibly
Lost in apathetic interests
Oceanic boundaries
Argh …. slipping self-righteousness
Under the sleeves of a uniform
Help me from the fiery clash
Because you need to pull me out!
Out of pity, I say!
Out of compassion and solidarity
Read me, I am speaking, not my skin
Listen to me, I am writing, not my letters
Hold me, I am demanding, not my mother tounge
Respect me, I am lonely, not my traits
Hey
Give up patronizing
Hey
Save the blame
Hey
Beyond the painting is raging colors
Hey
We’re the same, anyway!

Red for Reddish apathy
White for Misty rendition
Blue for Oceanic boundaries
Bener kan? Kenapa cuma 3 warna itu aja dipilih?
And, I think it suppose:
Read me, I am writing, not my letters
Listen to me, I am speaking, not my skin
Hold me, I am lonely, not my traits
Respect me, I am demanding, not my mother tongue
Aku tau kamu buat kalimatnya dibalik-balik seperti itu dengan maksud.. Memangnya maksudnya apa yah?
Set, reading your poem makes me think, omg, how come 2 words combined can mean so much? like 'reddish apathy' -> it is deep.
honestly reading every poem in this blog makes me think that this is a work from a pro, even though maybe you were doing it just for fun in leisure time..??
stylewise, you somehow remind me of chairil anwar. words are very poetic, metaphorical, and even if the theme is quite sad or reflective, it gives the reader sense of strength and hope.
for instance it's like 'karawang bekasi's chairil which is very sad, i mean, people were dying there, and yet he begins with "Kami yang kini terbaring antara Krawang-Bekasi tidak bisa teriak “Merdeka” dan angkat senjata lagi." offensive yet humble ^^
Set, the meaning of "crash" is such a mystery to the reader. man, it makes us wondering what about, yet ends with a satisfaction of a such beautiful and inviting poem.
great work! hope you have more writings...can safely guess that 4 out of 5 people will like this :D
