The Reality of a Santri
by: Putri Ayu
We were born under the same sky
We grew up on the same earth
So what makes us different
I'm just a santri
The rest fix themselves on a kyai
So what makes us proud?
Wealth or throne that we have
It's all just temporary
What is eternal in life is a memory
Either at night or lonely
God secretly slipped happiness
Not a single star can guess
That he is known by the name barokah
