Janji

07Jan09

Bukan masa untuk bersedih, ini bukan tahyul lama
Masanya untuk mengorak langkah, menyusun strategi dan mempersiapkan barisan
Teringat  rangkap-rangkap yang kita nyanyikan dekat Chiba.
Rangkap yg sama telah diperjuangkan oleh pendahulu-pendahulu kita,
dan saudara-saudara kita di sana.
Mereka sedang diuji keikhlasan lafaz mereka
esok lusa mungkin giliran kita

ring a bell?
