bendera setengah tiang buat Benazir Bhutto (1953-2007)


"And to push for peace is ultimately personal sacrifice, for leadership is not easy. It is born of a passion, and it is a commitment. Leadership is a commitment to an idea, to a dream, and to a vision of what can be. And my dream is for my land and my people to cease fighting and allow our children to reach their full potential regardless of sex, status, or belief".


Benazir Bhutto
cantik, cerdas, gagah
dia pergi meninggalkan Musharraf
dan seribu galau di hati Pakistan
bahkan mungkin dunia
yang semakin panas
dan terkeping-keping
membara

peluru sang pembunuh
mungkin tak menyentuhnya
tak pernah
tak akan pernah
setelah berkali-kali
coba dibidik kepadanya

hatinya terbuat dari baja
semangatnya mengalahkan kobaran api
ledakan bom sang pengecut

dunia tidak tidur
dunia berjaga
di sampingmu, Benazir!
