I Don't Speak so I Write

Thoughts From Within

Thoughts from Within, a Truther Poem of Society

I sometimes feel like an alien creature
for which there is no earthly explanation
Sure I have human form
walking erect and opposing digits,
but my mind is upside down.
I feel like a run-on sentence
in a punctuation crazy world.
and I see the world around me
like a mad collective dream.

An endless stream of people
move like ants from the freeway
cell phones, pc’s, and digital displays
“In Money We Trust,”
we’ll find happiness
the prevailing attitude;
like a genetically modified irradiated Big Mac
is somehow symbolic of food.

Morality is legislated
prisons over-populated
religion is incorporated
the profit-motive has permeated all activity
we pay our government to let us park on the street
And war is the biggest money-maker of all
we all know missile envy only comes from being small.

Politicians and prostitutes
are comfortable together
I wonder if they talk about the strange change in the weather.
This government was founded by, of, and for the people
but everybody feels it
like a giant open sore
they don’t represent us anymore
And blaming the President for the country’s woes
is like yelling at a puppet
for the way it sings
Who’s the man behind the curtain pulling the strings?

A billion people sitting watching their TV
in the room that they call living
but as for me
I see living as loving
and since there is no loving room
I sit on the grass under a tree
dreaming of the way things used to be
Pre-Industrial Revolution
which of course is before the rivers and oceans, and skies were polluted
before Parkinson’s, and mad cows
and all the convoluted cacophony of bad ideas
like skyscrapers, and tree paper, and earth rapers
like Monsanto and Dupont had their way
as they continue to today.

This was Pre-us
back when the buffalo roamed
and the Indian’s home
was the forest, and God was nature
and heaven was here and now
Can you imagine clean water, food, and air
living in community with animals and people who care?

Do you dare to feel responsible for every dollar you lay down
are you going to make the rich man richer
or are you going to stand your ground
You say you want a revolution
a communal evolution
to be a part of the solution
maybe I’ll be seeing you around.

Calon Pemimpin

random thoughts 6:11:00 pm

Sudah lebih dari 3 kali gw mendengar orang berkata, "Inilah calon pemimpin masa depan."

Yang mengucapkannya adalah orang-orang yang berbeda, pada tempat dan waktu yang berbeda pula.

Mereka satu suara dalam mengomentari pemberitahuanku bahwa gw tidak lagi berstatus mahasiswa, melainkan sudah lulus.

Bukannya mau membanggakan diri atau sombong-menyombong. Justru, secara jujur gw hampir-hampir gak percaya gimana caranya diri gw dengan kondisi kayak gini bisa jadi pemimpin. C'mon deh guys, gw tuh belum pernah seumur-umur menjadi KM (Ketua Murid) dari jaman TK sampai SMA. Jabatan gw di kelas paling banter jadi sekretaris. Oya, pernah juga sih jadi Wakil KM, pas jaman SD baheula. Hahahaha. Di kampus, peran serta gw di HIMA cukup aktiflah.. pernah jadi bagian dari panitia seminar, kunjungan industri, acara NSOP, hiking, dll.. Wait... I can recall that once in my time during the college, I've been a chairman of industrial visit committee, yet I was convinced myself that I was failed as a leader at that time. I'm inexperienced.

So, that's the last time. I don't wanna talk much about it.

Sebelum menjadi pemimpin bagi orang lain, kita harus bisa menjadi pemimpin bagi diri sendiri.

Lah, gw masih belum bisa memimpin diri gw untuk bangun pagi, rutin baca Alkitab, mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah (beberes), olahraga teratur, mengurangi junk food, menghemat pengeluaran, dll. Haha, dengan bangga aku membeberkan fakta yang memalukan seputar diriku sendiri. :D

Nevertheless, bukan berarti gw apatis total dengan perkataan "profetis" mereka.

I am not to underestimate their statement. They could be true.

If so...

I am to be a leader, to change this country and also the world.

I am to be the God's vessel to straighten the global broken values.

I am to be a leader who spread the truth, no matter what.

I am to be a leader that fears God that is in the name of Jesus Christ, the LORD and the Savior of the world.

I am to be a leader that do the right things according to the Bible and not based on human feelings nor human rites/traditions.

I am to be a leader with a heart or servant, that serve Lord Jesus and not serve human beings.

AMEN.
