Rendra: “Sajak Bulan Mei 1998″
May 29, 2008 – 11:58 am
Aku tulis sajak ini di bulan gelap raja-raja
Bangkai-bangkai tergeletak lengket di aspal jalan
Amarah merajalela tanpa alamat
Kelakuan muncul dari sampah kehidupan
Pikiran kusut membentur simpul-simpul sejarah
O, zaman edan!
O, malam kelam pikiran insan!
Koyak moyak sudah keteduhan tenda kepercayaan
Kitab undang-undang tergeletak di selokan
Kepastian hidup terhuyung-huyung dalam comberan
O, tatawarna fatamorgana kekuasaan!
O, sihir berkilauan dari mahkota raja-raja!
Dari sejak zaman Ibrahim dan […]

Ariel Heryanto
On Tuesday, Indonesia celebrated the 100th anniversary of its “national awakening”, commemorating the founding of Boedi Oetomo in 1908. This is officially considered to be the first modern “Indonesian” organization, but this is also highly contentious.
No writing in Indonesian has challenged this […]

May 15, 2008 – 10:01 am
