"Ini hidup, wanita Si kupu-kupu malam
Bekerja bertaruh seluruh jiwa raga
Bibir senyum, kata halus
Merayu memanja kepada setiap mereka yang datang"
it was the time when browsing through facebook is like reading newspaper, as everybody publishes latest political news in regards to presidential election. out of nowhere, writing an "open letter" to specific political figure became a recent trend.
prabowo got one.
jokowi got one.
ahok got one.
and risma got one as well.
unlike the first three who received an open letter based on the sender's critical view in politics, ms. risma was criticized for shutting down dolly alley, which was well known as the home of brothel and prostitution.
and the letter was written by a prostitute.
"what good can it bring for shutting down dolly alley? would it stops us from the business, or make us became pimp ourselves?"
"i have no money, no family, no skills nor talent. if i can't sell the only thing i have, how can i continue to survive?"
she got a point.
then, she quoted an old song written by titik puspa titled "kupu kupu malam":
"Ada yang benci dirinya
Ada yang butuh dirinya
Ada yang berlutut mencintanya
Ada pula yang kejam menyiksa dirinya"
"Ini hidup, wanita Si kupu-kupu malam
Bekerja bertaruh seluruh jiwa raga
Bibir senyum, kata halus
Merayu memanja kepada setiap mereka yang datang"
"Dosakah yang dia kerjakan
Sucikah mereka yang datang
Kadang dia senyum dalam tangis
Kadang dia menangis di dalam senyuman"
who are we to judge?
