AKU may refer to:
Cyanea angustifolia is a plant in the genus Cyanea that is found in Hawaii. Leaves of this species, as well as the endangered ʻakuʻaku (Cyanea platyphylla), were wrapped in ti (kī) leaves, cooked in an ʻimu and eaten in times of food scarcity by early Hawaiians.
"Aku" (meaning "Me") is a 1943 Indonesian-language poem by Chairil Anwar. It reflects his individualistic nature and vitality.
Anwar first read "Aku" at the Jakarta Cultural Centre in July 1943. It was then printed in Pemandangan under the title "Semangat" ("Spirit"); according to Indonesian literary documentarian HB Jassin, this was to avoid censorship and to better promote the nascent independence movement. "Aku" has gone on to become Anwar's most celebrated poem.
Indonesian writer Muhammad Balfas notes that one of Anwar's contemporaries, Bung Usman, wrote "Hendak Jadi Orang Besar???" ("So You Want to Be a Big Person???") in response to "Aku". Balfas suggests that Usman was greatly irritated by the "vitality and new way of life" that Anwar showed in the poem.
According to Timorese scholar of Indonesian literature A. G. Hadzarmawit Netti, the title "Aku" emphasizes Anwar's individualistic nature, while the temporary title "Semangat" reflects his vitality. Netti analyzes the poem itself as reflecting Anwar's need to control his environment and not be shaped by outside forces, emphasizing the first two stanzas. According to Netti, through controlling his environment, Anwar is able to better protect his freedom and individualistic nature. Netti sees the final line as reflecting Anwar's pride in his individualistic nature, finally surmising that Anwar would have agreed with Ayn Rand's philosophy of objectivism.
[Verse 1:]
In one minute all is changed
You open letter from Death itself
And you choose the way from this hell
To another secret free realm
[Verse 2:]
When night conquer all the land
And voice of Death once again
Still loudly speak in tired brain
You take rope and say – farewell
[Chorus:]
The story is complete when you read
Letters from the dark
The ancient mystic scripts known as
Letters from the dark
The creed grows within when you read
Letters from the dark
[Verse 3:]
Now lonely body toss in wind
On the shoulder of a mighty tree
And now question awaits him
