21. The Bucket Rider
By: Kuntum & Rizqy
Speckled snow falls as diamond grain
Wind blows as razor cuts skin pore
The tangled threads are in my brain
The body is unwilling to step out the door
The cold felt like sword in sigh
The weakness covered the helpless body
I put my last hope so high
Dreaming a charity from anybody
The bucket is empty
The humanity seems buried
I have no dignity
I have no money carried
I cannot freeze to death
Asking for coal as a beggar
Surviving for the last breath
But now, I’m lost forever
22. Based on the story, we can conclude that
we, as a human in society, need each
other.
Do not give up until the last breath, keep
fighting for survive.
