Aku (Me) 

If my time has come 
I don't want anyone to beg 
Not even you 

I don't need that sniveling! 

I'm but a wild animal 
Exiled even from his own group 

Even if bullets pierce my skin 
I will still enrage and attack 

Wounds and poison I'll take running 
Running 

Until the pain leaves 

And I will care even less 
I want to live a thousand more years 

- Chairil Anwar - 

July 26, 1922 - April 28, 1949 
Indonesian Poet
