^^^Soe Hok Gie’s poem that appeared long after his death in Sinar Harapan daily on 18th of August 1973. The tittle is “Message”

Today again I see
Soft faces yet harsh
Talking about independence
And democracy
And planning
To put an end to the tyrants

I know them
Whose soldiers are none
Willing still to fight dictators
Who is moneyless
Willing still to stop corruptions

My friends
I give you my love
And will you shake hand with me
Always?
