The last poem WS Rendra
di created shortly before
dia wafat.

_ * Life is like * _

• UAP, * _ * a moment * _
  _ * just visible, * _
  _ * then disappear !! * _
  _ * When People praise * _
  MINE,
  _ * i said that * _
  _ * this * _ * ONLY SHIPPING *
  _ * only. * _

`That my car``` _ADED HERITAGE, _ That my house``` _ADED HERITAGE, _ ``That is myproperty _ADED HERITAGE, _ `` `That my sons
Hanyalah meripan-HER. . ._

`But why`
I`m never
`ask,`
WHY HIM
`insert it``` to me? ``

• FOR WHAT HE *
  `deposit` ` everything to me. ``

And if not
`mine,`
`what``` should I``` ``do for`` `` HIS 'is this? ``
`Why my heart`
`it feels heavy,`
when the deposit is ``requested back```
`by HER?`

`In fact when` ` requested again, _kusebut itu_ * MUSIBAH, * _kusebut itu_ * UJIAN, * _kusebut itu_ * PETAKA, * I call it anything. . .__ To illustrate, that's all it``` ``is`` * * STORY. . . *

When I pray, ``kuminta titipan`` `matching`` `` `with

• NEEDS OF THE WORLD, *
  _i want more
  TREASURE,
  _i want more
  CAR,
  _i want more
  HOME,
  _i want more
  POPULARITY,

Dan I deny * SICK *,
Kutolak * POVERTY, *
`` As if all `

• STORY * `is` ` punishment for me. ``

`Like *` `* JUSTICE * and * LOVE, * * must run ` like settlement``` ``math and`` ``corresponding to`` ``my wish.` ``

`I diligently worship,`
`then properly`
`the suffering is away`
`from me.``` And the favor of the world ``should be often`` ``approached me ...` ``

`How silly`
`` I`m, I'm doing```

• HE * `as if ``` _Partners of Trade ku_ `and not as ```
• Lover! *

`I`m * DIA *
membalas
perlakuan baikku
`and reject` ` HIS-decision not matching``` ``with my wishes ..` ``

`Whereas every` m` day I say, ``
_ * Life and Matiku, * _
_ * Just to-MU * _

`Starting today,`
`teach me to'
`to be private
`always` ` grateful in``` ``every state of`` ``and become `` wise, want
`obey
`` Your will is yes```
*GOD . . . *

`Because I'm sure ...`
YOU
`will provide`
`gift in the``` my life ... ``

• YOUR WEEK *
  `is the`
`ter``` * GOOD *` for me ... `` `

`When I want to``` live``` * RICH, * `` I forgot, ``
`that``` * ON * itself ``is a```
WEALTH.

`When I`m heavy for * * GIVES, * `` I forgot, ``
`that * ALL *
`which I have``` `also is ```

• GRANTING * *

`When I want to``` `so that``

• STRONG, *
  `.... I forgot,`
`that in ``` *WEAKNESS,* God gives ` Im` * STRENGTH. *

`When I'm afraid'
Loss,
I forgot, that
MY LIFE
`is a``` *LUCK,* because its * * HIS GRADE. *

`Apparently this life is``` very beautiful, when we always``` *BE GRATEFUL* ``to``` HIS *

`Not because of the day``` this* * BEAUTIFUL * we``` * HAPPY. * ``But because we*HAPPY,* `` `then today
`` to *` * BEAUTIFUL. *

`Not because no``` theres* * RIGHTS * ``we become`` *OPTIMISTIC*. ``But because we`` `optimistic,` `* * RIGHTS * `` `will be invalid`` `` `feels .

`Not because it` * * * EASY * we``` * SURE CAN. * ``But because we```
*SURE CAN . . ! *
`everything becomes`
EASY.

`No because ``` all``` * GOOD * ``we* SMILE. * `But because we```
SMILE,
then all become
GOOD,

`` `There is no" day "

• DETERMINES *
  `us, except we``` *OWN* which creates ``
  DIFFICULT.

`If we do not``` can be ``` *Highway,* ``simply become`` *FOOTPATH* ``which can be passed`` ``people,` ``

`If we do not``` can be ``` *Sun,* ``simply become`` *LANTERN* ``which can illuminate`` ``around us,` ``

`If we do not``` can do``` `` something for ``
`person, then`

• PRAY *
  `for the good.'

My share because
very good for
_ * Learning * _
our life 🙏
