The Moon

The moon does nothing
to nurture life.
It only sheds light upon darkness
But why does the dark cloud still try
to screen the moon's face?

The Sun

Your scorching heat
passes like the second
when the rain falls
in the wrong season

The Wind

What news you bring us, today,
while our ears are already deaf,
plugged by the news of reform
which has ceased to have a meaning

Rain

I have been waiting
the whole day
for you to stop shedding tears,
do you try to wipe out all the events
from our motherland

-- By Prijono Tjiptoherijanto

O thy friend

O thy friend!
You came to my life
when i lead a lonely life

Thy advice made me to propagate my talents
Thy smile made me to rectify my faults
Thy charms made me to realize about friends

O thy friend,
With whom i share my deepest thoughts
Remember friend may have an end
But my friendship with you will never have an "end"

-- Uma Ramakhrisnan
