PUISI MENEROKA ALAM SEMESTA

Jeritan Malam Sang Alam

Cipt. Abiyyu Naufal Susanto

Ketika cahaya surya tak lagi ada

Semburat jingga hilang termakan masa

Gelap gulita menyelimuti raga

Sunyi senyap sepi tanpa nada

Hanya ada satu nada yang terasa

Simfoni gemricik air surga yang turun perlahan membasuh jiwa

                        Tiada satupun makhluk yang berani keluar dari peraduannya

                        Pepohonan-pun mendayu dayu menggigil kedinginan

                        Burung burung terbungkam bisu bak ditelan bumi

                        Tak ada kata yang terkecap

                        Tak ada nafas yang terhembus

                        Kecuali, suara jeritan bumi yang kesakitan dihujam air hujan

                        Kecuali, hembusan angin kencang yang menerjang

                        Gemetar jiwa raga ini merasa alam kala itu

Alam tak lagi indah bila kita bertindak tanpa nurani

Alampun akan murka bila kita semena-mena

Jerit tangis alam kala itu memberikan sebuah makna

Kasih sayang terhadap sesama tiada bermakna bila alam tak merasakannya

Mungkinkah itu semua curhatan tuhan

Tentang rasa duka nestapa yang dirasakan alam

Tentang tindakan bejat insan dunia yang berani merampas hak-hak alam

Semua rasa kacau balau dan risau tak kan pernah ada

Kalau saja kita berani memahami alam

OJEK

MOTORCYCLE TAXI

Ojek or motorcycle taxi began appearing in Magelang after becak and andong was not ineffective to ride.

Ojek service began as a poeple’s initiative to provide an alternativ transportation for poeple who used becak and andong from main road to housing complexes.

There is no goverments license or contol for ojek in Magelang. By the law, all motorcycle passanger should wear helmet so ojek drivers should have a spare for their passangers to wear. Ojek tends to congregate at t-junction on main roads and near smaller roads that are not serviced by bus routes.

Ladies passanger should have a careful position in taking ojek. Also, if the woman wear a dress, they have to sit sidewise on the back of the vehicle. You have to bargain before you get on and ask a local poeple about a usual price.

INDONESIA

Indonesia is the place where I can stand and live. It is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Indonesia, as I know it well, is an archipelago comprising at around 17,000 islands. It has 34 provinces with over 230 million people, including myself and is the world's fourth most populous country.

I stand for years here, wasting my time to work hard for its beauty. This country is too much perfect to live in, especially the nation's capital city, Jakarta, the city in which I fall in love.

The country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Malaysia; but no borders of my heart with Indonesia at all. All people know that other neighboring countries of Indonesia are Singapore, Philippines, Australia, and the Indian territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. All of them are only neighbors which do not really love it as well as I do.

With its islands, Indonesia gives me many friends from distinct ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups. The Javanese are the largest—and the politically dominant—ethnic group. Due to Nationalism, I and my friends will always get together for sharing identity defined by a national language, ethnic diversity, religious pluralism, within a majority Muslim population.

I will hold this country with the real spirit and power with its national motto, "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" ("Unity in Diversity" literally, "many, yet one"), articulates the diversity that shapes the country.

Despite its large population and densely populated regions, Indonesia has vast areas of wilderness that support the world's second highest level of biodiversity. The country is richly endowed with natural resources, yet poverty remains widespread.
