Continental drift spelled birth
once spelled Pangaea,
in early geologic time,
a supercontinent that incorporated
almost all the landmasses on Earth.

While rifling through mine
treasure trove of poems,
yours truly chanced upon
satisfactorily worded
geological event
where plate tectonics wrought
subterranean violent transformation
about a half dozen years ago.

Rust never sleeps courtesy zinc
without rhyme nor reason ye shan't
blame Neptune for unleashing
Indonesian tragic phenomena
just by his innocent wink
merely intended by regular
casual reminder

Rigel 7d
Sura dira jayaningrat
Lebur dening pangastuti

Tertanam falsafah Jawa ini
Di dalam jasad saya
Yang terlahir di tanah Sulawesi
Bersama firman-firman Tuhan

Sedih saya sampaikan pada anda
Tuan Pujangga Ranggawarsita
Petuah anda ini diselangkangi
Oleh si pendiri dinasti haram

Ibu pertiwi semakin menangis
Masyarakat semakin pesimis
Kebaikan dimatikan
Angkara murka dilanggengkan

Namun, Tuan, saya tetap berdoa
Dalam diam saya
Meskipun saya sudah sangat jauh
Dari surga
