Short Poem of Yose

Ku Tulis Sajak Berdasar Kisah
Bukan Tentang Kawan Di Tanah Terpisah
Melainkan Tentang Kita Yang Dilumta Resah
Yang Dalam Negeri Sendiri Terkabut Gelisah

Bukan Tentang Sobat Di Tanah Rantau
Tapi Tentang Persada Di Atas Risau
Yang Karena Janji Tirani Kian Meracau
Pertiwi Terjebak, Terpukat Ranjau

Ini Cerita Tentang Negeri Kelabu
Indahnya Tertutup Bukan Oleh Kotor Abu
Namun Oleh Nurani Yang Kehilangan Kalbu
Pada Demokrasi Bertudung Kelambu

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart. Now replacing the place of the pencil with you; always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be. ON...

70th Independence Day of Indonesia. Are we there yet?

17th August. The Independence Day of Indonesia. Merdeka!!!! But my heart is broken and tears keep coming down my face. Independence? What is the real meaning of the word? Are we trully independence now? "We" here refers to the minority communities. Minority in money. Minority in education. Minority in public facilities and services. Minority in races. Minority in religion believes. Are we really independence nowadays, especially now as we celebrate our National Independence Day? I even prefer to use english to pour out my words. I even prefer to post on my blog while hoping this thought would not bring me to harm. Why? Because i am Afraid. Perhaps, because i am not sure. There are riots still happened almost every day in almost every part of the nation. Whom we are independence from? The war with enemies has ended since 70 years ago. However the enemies who we are fighting with now are not from outside of Indonesia. They're our own people. We fight...
