Menyusun Seroja

Akulah penyair yang turun dari gunung

Beratus tahun telah kuhidup di situ

Beratus-ratus tahun

Kini kuturun ke lembah

Melihat manusia

Kecil miskin lagi hina

Mereka hidup melata-lata

Reading Again

After a long hiatus of not reading political stuff, I am reading again. Now I must learn to read news with a pinch of salt. Don’t get stressed. Don’t let it affect you. Detach yourself. Get impersonal.

After this keto diet, I read them with a pinch of Himalayan salt. Politicians come and go. They jump ship. They forget their principles. They commit immoral things. Read about them and be amused, for they are not serious either. They are where they are because they crave power. They are not genuine.

Politics is important because it affects my life. Seriously, something I can’t let go easily. I can’t let go of the handle. Nanti masuk longkang !
