Rumah Kita

Inilah rumah kita
Luas

namun tak ada ruang
sekedar untuk kita tinggal

                                                         
Inilah atap kita
Perkasa
namun tak cukup
sekedar untuk kita berteduh

Inilah tanah kita
Subur

namun tak ada lahan
sekedar untuk kita tanam

Inilah piring kita
Penuh pangan
namun tak ada bagian
sekedar untuk kita makan

Rumah kita,
Tempat Kakek ku dulu bersusah payah dan berjuang
demi rumah, atap, tanah dan piring.





Kini Kakek ku bersedih dalam tangisnya


Rumah, atap, tanah dan piring dipenuhi tikus

Kakek ku ingin tikus-tikus itu pergi dan berganti
Kakek ku ingin tikus-tikus itu mati




Our Home


This is our house

broad

but there is no space

just for our stay


This is our roof

strong

but not enough

just for our shelter


This is our land

fertile

but no land

just for us planting


This is on our plate

full food

but there is no

just for us to eat


Our homes,

The place my grandfather used to take pains and struggling

to house, roof, ground and dishes.



My grandfather is now grieving in tears


The house, roof, ground and plate filled with rats


My grandfather wanted the mice were gone and changed


My grandfather wanted dead rats
