'God, I Love You': WS Rendra's Last Poem

Six days before he died, WS Rendra wrote a poem from his hospital bed. In the untitled poem, Rendra expressed his love to God.

The handwritten poem was shown at his house in Depok on Friday.

I am weak
But not helpless
I am not complaining about the pain
or the itch

I want to drink tajin [rice water residue]
I never have difficulty breathing
but my physique is not satisfactory
to have a normal and ideal position

I want to cleanse my body
from chemical poison

I want to return to nature's way
I want to improve my dedication
to Allah

God, I love you
