Galodo's Fury: Minang's Resilience Unveiled
By Leni Marlina*
In Minang's heart, in West Sumatra, where mountains rise,
Galodo's fury paints the skies.
Rivers swell, with torrents wild,
As Galodo's wrath is reconciled.
From verdant hills to valleys low,
Galodo's waters fiercely flow.
Bridges crumble, homes submerged,
Nature's power, deeply surged.
Yet amidst the chaos, hope prevails,
As communities with courage set sail.
Hands join in a united plea,
To overcome Galodo's raging spree.
Through muddy waters and sorrow's veil,
Minang's spirit does not fail.
With each sunrise, a new day is born,
As Galodo's floodwaters are shorn.
Rebuilding dreams, brick by brick,
From Galodo's grip, they pick.
A testament to resilience true,
Minang's heart beats anew.
