   “Lingkungan Mati” karya Taufiq Ismail

   
   

Kau sebut orang bicara tentang hijau daunan,                                                                                             rimbun                                                                                                                                                             pepohonan, bermilyar kilometer kubik air                                                                                                         yang                                                                                                                                                                      memadat, mencair dan menguap, garis gunung                                                                                                 dan                                                                                                                                                                          lembah yang serasi, komposisi zat asam                                                                                                             yang rapi                                                                                                                                                                  dalam harmoni,

Tapi yang nampak oleh mataku                                                                                                                          orang-orang bertanam                                                                                                                                              tebu                                                                                                                                                                            seluas lapangan sepakbola di bibir mereka.

Kau bercerita orang bicara tentang serangga dan fisika                                                                                         tanah,                                                                                                                                                                      unggas dan kimia udara, ikan dan habitat lautan,                                                                                     manusia dan tetangganya, bumi dan klimatologi,                                                                                             Tapi yang terdengar oleh telingaku adalah serangkai lagu                                                                    dimainkan lewat instrumen tua sudah, dan bertabur                                                                                        debu.

Kau tulis orang telah bicara mengenai rekayasa genetika                                                                               padi dan sapi,                                                                                                                                              penggergajian kayu dan pengedukan                                                                                                                   mineral bumi,                                                                                                                                                    penyuburan industri dan transportasi,                                                                                                            distribusi laba dan budaya,                                                                                                                       pemerataan angka-angka                                                                                                                                            di atas bilangan jajaran kepala demi kepala,

Tapi yang terasa olehku adalah dusta yang bergincu                                                                                         lalu                                                                                                                                                                            ejekan terus-terusan pada kemiskinan,                                                                                                    perpacuan                                                                                                                                                                dalam keserakahan,                                                                                                                                                 dengan paduan suara pengatas                                                                                                                           namaan dengan penuh keteraturan.
