Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the book.

Won't you have to sing
These songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs ...

In Memoriam Mbah Rusmini, Sabtu Pahing 25 Desember 2010.

aku masih ingat,
bagaimana dulu engkau mendongengiku ceritera fabel kelinci mencuri ketimun, emprit dandul, atau buto ijo.

bagaimana dulu engkau menyimpankan makanan enak untukku,

a dark rose and the bleeding hands ...

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through.
i'm trying all my best to show the rainbow,
eventhough you sometimes didn't care about it,
i use my tricks to get your laugh,
eventhough you get mad after it,
