“Mother, Father, last night I wrote a poem, can I read this poem?” said Retno at Monas, Central Jakarta, Sunday (5/11/2023).
Retno’s action in reading this poem received a warm welcome from the masses defending Palestine. Prior to that, a video of Retno’s statement at the UN meeting was also shown during the action.
Palestine, my brother Retno Marsudi
My heart was sad, because the boy was crying
He was hurt, he couldn’t say anything
He doesn’t know where his mother and father are
Every 10 minutes 1 child dies in Gaza
Thousands of parents lost their children
There are countless children who have lost their parents
Each hand has a name written on it
They don’t want to die without a marker
Their home is only the sky
Their mattresses are just earth
When will this cruelty stop
When will the justice come
Indonesia and I will never back down and will continue to help you
My Indonesia and I will continue to be with you
Until the invaders leave your house
Palestine you are my brother And I, my Indonesia will always be with you.
