My daughter or son or..
if i get old and boring
patronizing you with
all these mundane structures
school,
homework,
work,
married,
everything that you might not understand
everything that you might hate
or tend to break
remind me that I have told you this
That, this world is keeping secrets
waiting to be unveiled
this world is not only miseries
and robotic act
and put your humanity behind the bar
But this world is offering you with million of possibilities
and adventure and magic
fairies, heroes, gods are not tale
We are part of a long story of humans
We are the miracle
This world is always
a battle of good and evil
and in the end
goodness is always win
Honesty will always win
Sincerity will always win
Even if people play you around
and betray
of your fond purity
let them be
Since the world is keeping secrets
waiting to be unveiled
Sky is keeping secrets
waiting to be unveiled
Your heart is keeping secrets
waiting to be unveiled
Only the winner who can unveil
the one who always, always
follow their heart
Then, never stop to redefine
ask questions
be foolish
honest
and free
and remind me,
that I have told you this
even when I still dont know
if i can have you
This world is too sedative
and hard for us to wake
paying loan is bigger than dream
the real is better to have dream
and avoid the loan :))
If I got old and whining
ask you to have good job, house
to get married and have kids
remind me that I have told you this
This world has no boundaries
You have no boundaries
We are the miracle
Just be you
if i get old and boring
patronizing you with
all these mundane structures
school,
homework,
work,

everything that you might not understand
everything that you might hate

puisinya lumayan
sayangnya, ini bukan puisi.. thanks anyway
now, 7 years later after this poem was written, i have a son and a daughter. Never imagine that. My son Anandia and mu daughter Aliana, this poem will remind me over and over, that i believe in freedom. that I believe in miracle. I want both of you to believe this too. One day, we will converse about this. i love you, my child.
