George Harrison, My Sweet Lord

Jump to Comments

Realitas dan dogma relijius sering membuatku murung. Kotbah-kotbah yang sering kudengar di tempat ibadah membuatku terhanyut dalam indahnya kasih. Tapi, kembali jengkel dengan realitas di sekelilingku. Ada anak jalanan yang disalahkan, dideklarasikan agar dikasihani, tapi mereka dieksploitasi oleh sekumpulan birokratis.

Dogmatis mengajarkanku demikian: “Kasihanilah sesamamu seperti engkau mengasihi dirimu sendiri.”

Tapi, realitas mengingatkanku begini: ”Kamu justru akan semakin menghancurkan hidup mereka jika kau memberikan sesen uang dari kantongmu. Mereka akan semakin tidak mengerti arti sebuah perjuangan hidup…”

So, is this called love? I don’t know…

Saat menyadari dunia yang absurd ini, aku ingin menyanyikan lagumu George Harrison. Let’s sing “My Sweet Lord” together…

My sweet lord
Hm, my lord
Hm, my lord

I really want to see you
Really want to be with you
Really want to see you lord
But it takes so long, my lord

My sweet lord
Hm, my lord
Hm, my lord

I really want to know you
Really want to go with you
Really want to show you lord
