RA Kartini and Polygamy
Denny JA
"Is this letter from the future?"
RA Kartini shaking detained
Files examined the date of the letter aloud
April 2016
He glanced again at her room almanac
The day was 21 April 1902
Her birthday that day twenty-three
"Could it be?
A person of the 21st century
send me a letter? "
Paper letters touched
Box that appears suddenly on the veranda stroked
All of the material has nothing on his day
This is not work in the era
Rush, a letter he read:
"Dear RA Kartini
of the future of this letter "
RA Kartini dan Poligami
Denny JA
"Benarkah surat ini dari masa depan?"
RA Kartini gemetar ditahan
Dicermatinya tanggal surat itu dengan keras
April 2016
Diliriknya lagi almanak di kamarnya
Hari itu 21 April 1902
Hari ultahnya yang ke dua puluh tiga
"Mungkinkah itu?
Seseorang dari abad 21
mengirimkan surat padaku?"
Kertas surat disentuhnya
Kotak yang muncul tiba tiba di beranda dielusnya
Semua dari bahan yang tiada di zamannya
Ini bukan karya di eranya
Tergesa, surat ia baca:
"RA Kartini yang terhormat
dari masa depan ini surat"
"A century after you gone"
Emancipation of women
Already a shared culture
We've got women entrepreneurs
Already have a woman president
Already have women scholars
Already have an intellectual woman
Already have a female athlete
Already have female artists
There's nothing like this unimaginable by your whole life
Maybe not by yourself
"On each day of your birth
We are commemorating always
You are remembered as heroes
No opponent fighter emancipation of women "
(Further, the letter reads)
"But that is not the intention of my letter
I want to refine your image "
We need more fighters struggling.
Something about you
It is very disturbing
You can change, of course!
(Increasingly do not understand, Kartini
But the thrill of the letter)
"Next year you will be spoken for
Your husband was later regent of Rembang
KRM Duke Ario Singgih he had a name
Whistles became his fourth wife
"Satu abad setelah dirimu tiada"
Emansipasi wanita
Sudah menjadi budaya bersama
Kita sudah punya pengusaha wanita
Sudah punya presiden wanita
Sudah punya ulama wanita
Sudah punya intelektual wanita
Sudah punya olahragawan wanita
Sudah punya seniman wanita
Tiada terbayangkan ini oleh zamanmu
Mungkin juga tidak oleh dirimu
"Di setiap hari lahirmu
Kami peringati selalu
Kamu dikenang sebagai pahlawan
Pejuang emansipasi wanita tiada lawan"
(Lanjut, surat dibaca)
"Namun bukan itu maksud suratku
Aku ingin sempurnakan citramu"
Kami butuh pejuang lebih berjibaku.
Sesuatu tentang dirimu
Sangat menggangguku
Bisa kamu ubah, tentu!
(Semakin tak mengerti, Kartini
Tapi isi surat menggetarkan hati)
"Tahun depan dirimu akan dipinang
Suamimu nanti bupati Rembang
KRM Adipati Ario Singgih ia punya nama
Dirimu menjadi istri keempatnya
"A century after you gone"
Emancipation of women
Already a shared culture
We've got women entrepreneurs

"This letter is to dissuade
Polygamy is never you doing
Your image as a fighter disrupted
Why did not you fight back? "
"Remember my message from the future
Cancel Wedding!
Just one word: Fight! "
2016 Signed Rosa Marimis
Fellow activist feminist
Devotees Kartini
But the anti-polygamy "
Kartini increasingly convinced
But was this letter from the future?
How could he know?
Letter incarnated giant cudgel
Hard-hitting thoughts
Make RA Kartini brood
And a bit of a daze
"Is my marriage plans
Demand beloved father
Being a fourth wife
Regent of the power so
Inhibiting struggle?
Disturb my people?
Kartini eyes trembling
Hidungya shaking
His ears were shaking
shaking her hair
"Surat ini memintamu membatalkan
Poligami jangan pernah kau lakukan
Citramu terganggu sebagai pejuang
Mengapa dirimu tak melawan?"
"Ingat pesanku dari masa depan
Batalkan pernikahan!
Hanya satu kata: Lawan!"
2016, tertanda Rosa Marimis
Sesama aktivis feminis
Pemuja Kartini
Tapi anti-poligami"
Kartini semakin teryakinkan
Tapi benarkah ini surat dari masa depan?
Bagaimana ia bisa tahu?
Surat menjelma pentung raksasa
Memukul keras pikirannya
Membuat RA Kartini merenung
Dan sedikit linglung
"Apakah rencana pernikahanku
Permintaan tercinta ayahku
Menjadi istri keempat
Bupati yang kuasa sangat
Menghambat perjuanganku?
Mengganggu kaumku?
Mata Kartini gemetar
Hidungya gemetar
Telinganya gemetar
Rambutnya gemetar
Kartini wrote back
She shed her always
The tears melancholy
As soon as the word length bertalu
Kartini explain this and that
Very detail polygamy
Very detailed what he experienced
The tears continued to flow
From upstream to downstream
Protrude into the ground into the lake
Fish swim in it
Kartini has felt the pain
In the box, put the letter Kartini
Hope his message to the future
And Buuum !!!!
Instantly the box was missing.
Wonderful!!!
1903, a year later
Nothing can withstand
Married Kartini
polygamous Kartini
Being a fourth wife Kartini
But the school was founded kartini
Education for women fought Kartini
The emancipation of women dream of Kartini
Her husband understands
Relentless support
Until his death Kartini
To explain why he polygamy
Already he described it, and this
He hoped his letter to the future
But never got a letter Kartini
Not in the book Out of Darkness to Light
Nor is it to the hands of the sender
Kartini membalas surat itu
Ia tumpahkan dirinya selalu
Air matanya menetes pilu
Begitu panjang kata bertalu
Kartini jelaskan ini dan itu
Sangat detail soal poligami
Sangat detail apa yang ia alami
Air matanya terus mengalir
Dari hulu ke hilir
Menjulur ke tanah menjadi telaga
Ikan berenang di dalamnya
Merasakan Kartini punya derita
Di dalam kotak, surat Kartini letakkan
Berharap pesannya sampai kepada masa depan
Dan Buuum!!!!
Seketika kotak itu raib.
Ajaib!!!
1903, setahun kemudian
Tiada yang bisa menahan
Menikah Kartini
Berpoligami Kartini
Menjadi istri keempat Kartini
Namun sekolah didirikan kartini
Pendidikan untuk perempuan diperjuangkan Kartini
Emansipasi wanita diimpikan Kartini
Suaminya memahami
Mendukungnya tiada henti
Hingga ajal menjemput Kartini
Soal mengapa ia berpoligami
Sudah ia jelaskan itu dan ini
Ia harap suratnya sampai ke masa depan
Namun tak pernah sampai surat Kartini
Tidak di dalam buku Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang
Tidak pula ke tangan sang pengirim
Rosa, feminist activists in 2016
Who sent a letter spicy
Debated his hard
"Kartini has been doing what it can
Super Hero comic character is not he!
Stop suing
Accept what is already written "
But Rosa still waiting
He did not want the mystery
Every day, morning and evening
examination room
Look for the box that he sent
Awaiting reply
Soon at dawn
21 April 2016 berths
Rosa shocked stunned
Magic box up in her room
Inside the box
reply awaited
Of RA Kartini
Yes, of RA Kartini
Letters read again and again
a dozen times
dozens of times
Rosa cried
From the ceiling of his room fishy
Drizzling rain
He now fully understands
RA Kartini could he received
As it is
Rosa, aktivis feminis tahun 2016
Yang mengirim surat pedas
Didebat temannya keras
"Kartini sudah lakukan apa yang bisa
Bukan tokoh komik Super Hero ia!
Berhentilah menggugat
Terima apa yang sudah tersurat"
Tapi Rosa tetap menanti
Ia tak ingin itu misteri
Setiap hari, pagi dan senja
Kamar diperiksanya
Mencari kotak yang ia kirimkan
Menunggu surat balasan
Tak lama kemudian di waktu subuh
21 April 2016 berlabuh
Rosa kaget terpana
Kotak ajaib sampai di kamarnya
Di dalam kotak itu
surat balasan yang ditunggu
Dari RA Kartini
Ya, dari RA Kartini
Surat dibacanya lagi dan lagi
belasan kali
Puluhan kali
Rosa menangis
Dari plafon kamarnya yang amis
Turun hujan gerimis
Kini Ia memahami sepenuhnya
RA Kartini bisa ia terima
Apa adanya
Rosa began to understand
Why Kartini polygamy
Although he still did not agree
For him now and later
Polygamy enemy emancipation
Rosa lit a candle at the park
Ibu Kita Kartini songs he sings
RA Kartini's birthday he celebrated
Kartini now more he respected
Kartini now more he loved
grass, wind and light
Flowers, phone and door
Together Rosa always
Join in singing the song
"Our mother Kartini real princess
Indonesian Princess
Harum name "

21 April 2016
Rosa mulai mengerti
Mengapa Kartini berpoligami
Walau ia tetap tak menyetujui
Baginya kini dan nanti
Poligami musuh emansipasi
Rosa menyalakan lilin di taman
lagu Ibu Kita Kartini ia nyanyikan
Ultah RA Kartini ia rayakan
Kini Kartini lebih ia hormati
Kini Kartini lebih ia cintai
rumput, angin dan lampu
Bunga, handphone dan pintu
Bersama Rosa selalu
Ikut menyanyikan lagu itu
"Ibu kita Kartini putri sejati
Putri Indonesia
Harum namanya"
