To My Friend Who Always Writes Poetry Poem by Imam Setiaji Ronoatmojo

Sleeping on the ocean memories
Floating in between pieces
of continents
That melting in your mind
Delirium poet in Africa
Or a pen stroke of Libya Poet
Writing letters: ” alif”
Ali Sidqi Abdulqadeer
Who lament the memories
of her daughter
Now the world is silent
Burning the energy from de Latinos
to Sahara Desert
Now the world's only stunned
Burning in quiet
Energy never converted
to be a poetry
The world is now just a dumb
See the poem butchered
in the street
Energy never converted
Sleep never keep a poem
There empty poison in silence
