Even for readers, poetry has a broad horizon, it opens up the meaning of go beyond the intent of the author. Through poetry, someone can express his emotions either admiration, anger, love, hate, protest, criticism, sad or happy. One of the artworks of W.S. Renda, "The Song of the Swan", is criticism Jumawa Renda well as a message of spirituality universal to all religious people who have the same hope at that God is the Fair that gives his love to embrace, nurture, restore and elevate all human beings regardless of his background in spotty and sin. This is confirmed in the song of the swam, one of the stanza 'The man bent down to kiss her lips. He felt like drinking coconut water, never had he felt the kiss like that. Maria Zaitun kisses all over his body. Suddenly she stopped. She encountered the scars on the body of her hero. On the left hull, two palms, two soles of the feet. This is the purest expression of spirituality that the sincerity of the love of God that is different from human love. Love that had previously felt the human suffering, He loves to be injured and die to restore His beloved.

People exploited the earth resources uncontroled, excesive, and unregulated. Nature has been considered as an object which could be exploited to fulfill their passion of cosumerism.

As with Hebrew, Babylonian or Greek mythological tradition, the Moluccans also maintain a historical narration of the creation myth. This myth within the Moluccan tradition begs to be interpreted. The Moluccas (Nusaina) are considered by Moluccans to be a home shared as fellow brothers (and sisters), emerging from one womb of Ina (mother) who inhabits the realm of Nusaina. This creation narrative focuses on the role of Ina or mother as the central figure. Ina is she who is pregnant, breastfeeding, nurturing and raising. Beyond myth, this narrative also contains theological value, which needs to be constructed to offer theological meaning for the people of the Moluccas.

Agama dapat menghancurkan dan menghidupkan, meninabobokan dan membangkitkan, memperbudak dan membebaskan, mengajarkan ketaatan dan mengajarkan pemberontakan. Hubungan antarumat beragama di Indonesia agak mustahil bila dilepaskan dari problem mayoritas dan minoritas. Di kalangan mayoritas timbul perasaan tidak puas karena merasa terdesak posisi dan peranannya. Demokrasi lebih sering dipahami sebagai keberpihakan terhadap mayoritas sementara di kalangan minoritas timbul ketakutan karena merasa terancam eksistensi dan hak-hak asasinya (minority syndrom).
