[Poem] After The Truth No Longer Exists
AFTER THE TRUTH NO LONGER EXISTS
To: Goenawan Mohamad
When the truth exists no more
Why do we still linger here
Preaching the omnipotence of God
Has not everyone turned God for himself?
Past times, the truth hoisted
Under the banner of the revolution
Brought onto the battlefield
With a firm boundary between clandestine and evil
But now the revolution no longer exists
War is just another stale story
Today’s truth is a believed lies
A falsehood went viral
No one hardly cares so long as people bought it
The truth has become a beautiful remains slaughtered in a crowd
Thrown into a voiceless abyss
Like leaves falling to the earth
Heavily hit by rain or a storm Who cares?
But is there anything worth a grain of salt to remember
When all of us know that the truth no longer exists
Besides the familiar smell of a cup of coffee
And birds chirping in the morning
