Aku by Chairil Anwar (famous Minangkabau poet - indigenous group in West Sumatra, Indonesia, which are the largest matrilineal society in the world)
If my time should come
I'd like no one to entice me.
Not even you.
No need for those sobs and cries.
I am but a wild animal
Cut from its kind.
Though bullets should pierce my skin
I shall still strike and march forth.
Wounds and poison shall I take aflee. Aflee
'Til the pain and pang should disappear.
And I should care even less.
I want to live
for another thousand years.
