#936 On Undying Grief

They say “Life begins at 40”
And I ask myself, “If this is true,
does that mean that life never began
for my brothers?”
    What does it mean
    to be taken away from your loved ones
    at 30? or 35?
They say “Life is for the living”
And that tautology never made sense
to me
    Where does it say that
    Death is only for the dying?
    He comes for all of us
Like He came for both of you
Cruel, heartless Death
He took you away and left only
Unfathomable unreasonable undying
Grief.

#935 Tentang Mulia Yang Tiada Menagih

Segala yang kau dendamkan
Mungkin hanya kerana tercalarnya hati
Gurishiris pada lembaran perasaan

Seorang insan yang merasakan diri
Tidak dihormati, tidak dikasihi, terabai
Seolah tidak diambil peduli

Sedangkan setiap hunusan pada perisai
Jiwamu langsung tiada lut, tiada terhakis:
Kau tetap teguh walau terbadai

Muliamu tak menagih mengemis
Kau akan berlalu tanpa kesal, tanpa tangis.
