Ring Road
Ring road, ring of our life
Where we life together
In the Circle out of old city
In the Circle out of old life
When we haven’t no more space
In the crowded city
Become free competition
among fascinating speed of automotive product
and human density
to decrease natural love
and become alienate
each other

My Past, Present and Future
past, present and future
feelings churning
until the bottom of my heart
tore the walls of reason
banging his dream
into the present
and imagine the future
the fire of hell
young people
who choose the course
individually
was the coolness of the wind
the breezy
sometimes there
under the shade of the leaves
mango tree
in front of my house

For Your Short Life
Bogies
My cat's name
daughter brought
since I was a baby
now bogies always
I welcome
each home from work
fun to watch while my wife
sinetron continued 'Fitr'
the pervasive spirit
new generation of cultural products
soap opera
shallow and tends to
mendangkalkan meaning of life
into the foam soap
falsity bubbles
short life
which is too shallow

Sorrow
life is a mystery
existing in the recesses of the heart
innermost
can not be revealed
when the burning heart
by revenge
revenge is only a catastrophe
sorrow and destruction we
when the fire burns
in chest
revenge fire only
destroy
civilization
when cities
burnt
children crying
in the living father
and the mother]
abandoned love

What do you want to know of me
I just
To see what you want to see
To feel what you want to feel
To write what you have been seen
To draw what you have been felt
Write, draw whatever you saw and feel of the world
And inner world
Your life experience
Sad and happiness
Sorrow and glad
Your heart
Talk itself
In a blue line
In the God Paradise
That ever you told me
Along years ago

Our Democracy
that old boy go out to gallery
what is a lot of flower crop
last sit and look into far to future
what shadow in his eye
about its party conflict
but when I ask him
he answer
ah, that only gravel in life
life still be long
wait they will make peace
by theirself
but paying attention to
thereafter they will be more be adult
that's democracy.

Homesick
night, when full moon
dark [of] experienced semesta
extinct electrics at all points
though the no war
flag still flag at all points
darkly
wind blown boisterous
quickly, exceeding machine flown quickest; fastest
exceeding voice and light
rotating menggerus [of] all
in storm maelstrom
at heart
jolt the heart
when overcast sky
that whom
knocking at

Signs of the times
when I was a child
even teenagers
every afternoon from the plot boundary fields
watched lava slowly melt
from the peak of Mount Merapi
bergrak bright red fall
down the steep slopes
wiped out the trees
animals, houses, human
and all of which inhibit
with the fire that burns hot
pulverized, all pulverized
to dust
frozen into stone
the rocks change
signs of the times

Regret
Regret comes after
When I sat
On Bamboo Chair
Under Mango Tree
Felt my soul not free
Had detained out of our desire
Rose flower on a pot
Release softly perfume
In the windy air
Hide in smelt softly
Of sins
My soul could not slept
Along the day in a time, wrest
When the women sat
Beside me
Red news
Got a new
Gossip

To Dream Island
in the cross
when we confuse
will straight on
or luff to left
or to right
or go-backward rear
there is which possible
and there is unlikely
but me have to decide
after llama unsolved
this ship is felt by a roll
life have to decide
is even felt by like swallowing bitter pill
yes I have ready to
I wish to sail by myself
going through wave
and storm
to dream island
