Behind the Hazel Eyes by Kelly Clarkson

Diposting oleh Nanik Erlia |

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable like nothing could go wrong

Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

[Chorus]
Here I am
Once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it
Can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright for once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together but so broken up inside

'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

[Chorus]

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Just seeing you, it kills me now
Now I don't cry
On the outside, anymore!

[Chorus: x2]

Pelacur Hakimi Pelacur

Diposting oleh Nanik Erlia |

Suatu hari ada pemuka agama, tokoh masyarakat, menjatuhkan hukuman atas seorang wanita yang dianggap berzina, walaupun wanita itu sebenarnya pelacur. Hukuman yang dijatuhkan kepadanya tidak main-main: rajam atau hukuman mati, dengan cara dilempari batu sampai ia menghembuskan nafasnya yang terakhir.

Tidak hanya para pemuka agama dan tokoh masyarakat, tetapi anak-anak kecil--mereka yang tidak tahu "dosa" itu apa, "pelacuran", dan "zina" itu apa-- turut ambil bagian dalam aksi pembubuhan seorang wanita yang dianggap "tuna susila" oleh masyarakat yang menganggap dirinya "cukup susila".

Tubuh wanita itu sudah berlumuran darah, ia menjerit kesakitan. Tiba-tiba dari salah satu sudut jalan muncul sosok seorang pria--kurus, tinggi, berjubah putih. Ia mendekati wanita yang malang yang sedang dilempari batu itu. Ia mengangkat wanita itu, memeluknya. Matanya merah, bibirnya gemetaran, namun suaranya berapi-api-- bagaikan suara petir di tengah hari:

"Kalian sedang melempari batu--kalian yang ingin membunuh wanita ini--kenapa kalian ingin membunuh dia? Karena ia seorang pelacur? Karena ia melacurkan badannya? Apakah kalian lebih baik dari dia? Kalian telah melacurkan jiwa kalian, roh kalian. Kalian semua munafik. Adakah satu pun di antara kalian yang belum pernah melacurkan jiwanya, rohnya? Kalau ada, biarkan dia melemparkan batu pertama. Kalian semua kotor, tidak bersih. Kalian tidak berhak menghukum wanita ini."

Kata orang, yang melindungi wanita malang itu adalah Nabi Isa.

( Dari sebuah buku berjudul Tuhan, Izinkan Aku Menjadi Pelacur karya Muhidin M. Dahlan
