I am weak
But not helpless
I am not complaining about the pain
or the itch
I want to drink tajin
I never have difficulty breathing
but my physique is not satisfactory
to have a normal and ideal position
I want to cleanse my body
from chemical poison
I want to return to nature’s way
I want to improve my dedication
to Allah
God, I love you
— W. S. Rendra
