Tentang Wanita - Wanita Sahabatku

Kutulis tentang para wanita sahabatku
Satu persatu
Semuanya
Dalam diri mereka kutemukan jiwaku
Tragedi mereka adalah peristiwa dahsyat bagiku

Kutulis tentang para wanita sahabatku
Tentang penjara yang menghisap umur narapidana
Tentang zaman yang dilipat dalam kertas dan pena
Tentang pintu - pintu tertutup
Tentang keinginan yang terpasung
Tentang ribuan wanita syahid terkubur tanpa nama

Saudariku...
Darahku terbungkus dalam bingkisan tertutup berlapis emas
Sejarah dimanipulasi
Kesaksian dikebiri
Sekumpulan ikan terluka dalam kolamnya

Kutulis tentang para wanita sahabatku
Tentang darah yang menetes dari langkah kaki nan jelita
Tentang kegelisahan, kebingungan, nestapa
dan malam sunyi penuh rintihan
Tentang pasar - pasar yang hilang terkubur
Tentang lingkaran kehampaan dan perjalanan menuju sirna
Tentang kematian perlahan - lahan
Aku mati saat kehidupan disemaikan
Seperti anggur yang terkurung dalam gelas kaca

Saudariku,
Disarangnya burung - burung mati tanpa suara...

Values’ Spark built The Stability

21^st century period had made us changed and changed. So many accidents and moments at past threat out our minds, forced us to make a real steps to be better and better than before. The technology made us easier to do the real act. Actually, not all could feel the beneficial of Globalization era. There are some persons who exploited this one without considering about the others. Just about themselves and themselves. Let’s think about poverty and malnutrition that usual happen in developing country. How surprised us about the facts that shows the balance of prosperity. Our earth has provides all of the resources to fulfill the humans’ wants and needs. But in fact, nowadays, Human haven’t been able yet to take care and exploited well. It is hazardous, isn’t it? Logically, by our heart, human’s right is the best reason why it should be solved. How to make it same and fair. Stability is a key.

Stability is constant conditions that have mutual relationship among the others, there will be no suffered. The prosperity is same and fair. Stability makes a conducive situation that will able to be used as the solution by the crisis to get the stabiles conditions. Let’s take a look about data recorded at developing countries such as Indonesia and India. Both of countries have a same big problem especially in malnutrition. The citizens, especially villagers have not enough nutrition and food because of their condition. The government is too focus to solve the others problem that rather not important. Let’s take a comparison, just 1.7% funds from APBN which used to military maintenances actually can be used to rehabilitation and provides foods for malnutrition villagers in 2778 villages in 5 years. Even that world’s military trade in 8 hours can be used to give nutrition and saving 5000 children in Africa that die by diarrhea every year. How cruel we are? It’s unbelievable. But, I still reminds to you, it’s the fact! This value shows how big the opportunity to relieves and make the whole world better that lost vainly. Once again, Value is a stability that influences to the result of a process. The good value will bring the good stability too. Values in diversity, values in togetherness, are a big way to reach the stability. Value is flexible thing that suitable depend on the situations and conditions. Value is an opportunity to reach the goal for each person. Value told us about the act or real things that we should do or get. So, it’s not about the cost. It’s not about the obstacles. It’s our value, how big I am to pass through the challenges. When the awareness is stick tightly on people’s minds, it’s not hard to make a change. It’s easy to make the crisis time to be a stabile situation. We have to hope, we can dream as high as we can. Real action is the answer, and prosperity is the result. Believe.
