Behind Hi(S) Tory Poem by Maria Sudibyo

It looks like a tradition
But it's actually a commemoration
It looks like a ritual
But it's actually a prayer
It looks like a procession
But it's actually a salutation
It looks like a habit
But it's actually a meditation
It looks like a sacrifice
But it's actually a redemption
It looks like an old legend
But it's actually a warning
It looks like a myth
But it's actually an imaginative explanation
It looks like a placebo
But it's actually a hope
It looks like a superstitious
But it's actually an awareness
It looks like a culture
But it's actually a wisdom
It looks like a primitive way
But it's actually a survival
It looks like a strange law
But it's actually a prevention
It looks like a code
But it's actually a guideline
