POETRY 

Now I don't want to make an article that I will post here, but I want to share a poetry work that I made myself which tells of a prince from Java who led a guerrilla war in 1825-1830. A poem that I made specifically to commemorate his courage and resilience in leading and fighting for our rights and liberating us which inspired a combat strategy called "Guerrilla" and the title is The prince's elegance

The prince's elegance

On the land of Java

In the middle of his tones of romance

Tucked away a story

The story of the spirit defender patriot

This story begins when Bendara Antawirya was furious

Why is he angry?

His ancestral grave was contested by the Dutch

Installing a stake for the road

Plus people's lives are difficult due to forced cultivation

Add to the wrath of Antawirya when the Dutch began to enter the palace

The nobility is increasingly disappointed, his sovereignty is lost

The sovereignty was eroded by the Dutch

1825 that's the climax

Starting from the burning of Tegalrejo

Raged the greatest war of the 18th century

Led by a prince from the Yogya palace

Son of Hamengkubuwono III

The land of Java turned into a fierce battlefield

Between the Dutch against Bendana Antawirya

Selarong is the center

The whole army moved

The Netherlands is overwhelmed by this

He called for reinforcements

The fierce battle made the Dutch run out of cash

He successfully controlled almost the entire island of Java

The troops moved brilliantly

The Netherlands also gave up hope

But 1830 is the end of the story

Pasek marks the end of the story

Defeat came

The Dutch started to cheat

He offered a mere negotiation

Antawirya's motorbike came

However, De Kock was a barbaric act

Never tell the story

Elegance the prince

Ended in Magelang

And just finished at Fort Roterdam

Thank you prince

Your service is matchless

Hopefully we your children and grandchildren can inherit your passion

Because we know this struggle is not over

In guarding the country.

Thank you for the attention, I hope my work can usefull for the reader's and will be add to our sense of nationalism
