Pak Sako

I fell in love with this puisi from Pak Sako the first time I read it some many years ago, and ever since I thought this is the best way to write a puisi. Before this I just couldn't appreciate Malay puisi except for the tersirat meaning. The enjoyment only came after I managed to decipher the possible meanings/messages behind the puisi. That's about it. But Pak Sako with this puisi had somehow made me enjoy puisi not only in its journey to explore the possible messages, but also in reading the puisi itself. The wordings are such that it made me consider this puisi as very syok one even before I ventured into exploring the meaning.

Sorry guys I didn't know what the title of the pusi is, so I just post you the content:

Bapak rugged, anak groovy,
Sedang membiak di sana sini.
Di pantai memakai bikini,
Di kubur memakai mini.
Orang-orang kampung menghadap kiblat,
Mereka membawa komik-komik barat.
Bermain karate, ganti bersilat,
Makan anggur, menggantikan langsat.
Gasing dibuang, dimajukan bowling,
Berasmara mereka kata necking,
Buang Mak Inang, menggantikan dansing.
Tetapi, bila bergula dalam kencing,
Barulah teringat nak makan jering,
Terkenang kepada petai dan kerdas,
Barulah nak belajar mandi hadas.
Melayu bukan, Malaysian pun bukan,
Cina bukan, Indian pun bukan.
Inikah akar-akar yang mengaku rotan?
Atau kaca-kaca yang mengaku intan?

~Dr. Ishak Haji Muhammad (Pak Sako)~
