a hard rain
dropped last night
minutes to hours
so cold so scary
a reservoir
laid above us
from nineteen thirties
so vast so majestic
O pondering rainy night!
you said hello passionately to us
were you missing your friends here?
we felt that you are a refreshing gift
O great Situ Gintung Reservoir!
you watered tenderly our environment
were you loving your friends from up there?
we felt exactly that you are a relieving present
very long rain and old water resistant
around two until five after midnight
Situ Gintung's badly broken apart
huge water came down very fast
smashed homes, trees, and stuffs
crashed people, old and young
took our all life, rich and poor
separated from beloved ones
we cry for you, sisters
we pray for you, brothers
if a sad thing should happen
it must be happened, my friend
we weep deeply
we scream to the sky
why it must be done to you?
human and nature mourn to you
it reminds us
Flood of Noah
it reminds us
Tsunami of Aceh
it reminds us
to rethink what we've done
it reminds us
to reconsider what we've walked in
O God, who has all heavens, and earth!
Your Love is bigger than Your Anger
O God, who hold our lives and our deaths!
Your Will has happened in that pathetic morning
O God, who has sun, all planets, and all moons!
Your Grace is greater than Your Punishment
O God, who hold thunder, earthquake, and eruption!
Your Care is upon us, upon our sons and our daughters
O God, who has seas, stars, and continents!
Please, be pity on us, on your weakest creatures
O God, who hold wind, water, fire, ice, tree, animal, and soil!
Please, give mercy upon us, upon our fragile hearts, spirits, and souls
