Tri Budhi Sastrio
There are chair, table, and flower,
They are nothing to do with power.
But when these things in the hand of a writer,
They are changed, they are embraced
By converter and they will be a power!
They are book, table, and reader.
They are nothing to do with power.
But when those things in the hand of a teacher,
They are converted, they enter the charger
And in power all of them will saunter.
All readers need books,
Like all girls need flowers.
What are the readers without books?
What are the girls without flowers?
Nothing! Nothing! I dare to confess!
Not because I know what I should protest
But because I know the process!
But because I know the process!
