Analysis of Ignorant
Heri Prihartono 1990 (Trenggalek)
Every time Black Television snore, our breath seemed to be tight
Overwhelmed with fear with a cough that brings death
Crowded with videos of bones laying down and then he said he was dead
All so intake every night after sweating all day
I wanted to throw away all those scary stories
But we are only workers waiting for fate
If good luck from akasa then tomorrow sweat again
Otherwise lean on a glass of water from the back tap
Every day up to 10 months passed but the story on black TV remained the same
The only difference is that the mysterious poison has spread to our neighbors
Reportedly so, but no sign of pain or misfortune
Or is it in the next village which is said to be haunted.
Until one day, the poison was getting more and more violent and infected my friend
He said he was still healthy, only fate brought him apart from his wife
Before long, only a week, but the neighbor's sigh made him shiver
Hoping that tomorrow won't be dark and truly not creepy
Ignorance for us in the end but that doesn't mean daring to die silly
A taste of rice is anything more than a drop of poison
If the cloth alone is enough to absorb toxins, then isn't that happiness?
That was the meaning of the chatter of the little people looking for a bite of rice
