3 black men

At the National Art Gallery in Dublin, a husband and wife were staring at a portrait that had them completely confused.
The painting depicted three black men totally naked sitting on a park bench. Two of the figures had black willies, but the one in the middle had a pink 'willie'.
The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble interpreting the painting and offered his assessment.
He went on for over half an hour explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of black men in a predominately white, patriarchal society. 'In fact, 'he pointed out, 'some serious critics believe that the pink willie also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary society.'
After the curator left, an Irishman, approached the couple and said, 'Would you like to know what the painting is really about?'
'Now why would you claim to be more of an expert than the curator of the gallery?' asked the couple.
'Because I'm the guy who painted it,' he replied. 'In fact, there are no black men depicted at all. They're just three Irish coal miners. The guy in the middle went home for lunch.

mungkir

Pada penyaksian
sebuah
ketidaksetiaan
kemungkiran
membawa aku
ke singkapan
perjalanan yang lalu

Hancur luluh
kala terbongkar
kesah pencerobohan
pada sedunia harapan

Gementar
perit
kecewa
gagal
kesal
berbaur
kehampaan
dan
kesedihan

Hatiku berserta
sungguh kesian
pada insan
yang berharap
pada kesetiaan zawaja

Peristiwa luka
mengajar
kupupuk dalam diri
hidupkan harapan
hanya padaMu Tuhan

Engkau tak pernah memungkiri janjiMu

Permudahkan perjalananku
