Concern over lost incomes

From Sinar Pagi

We really don't know the core of the matter because we are but street peddlers. But we are concerned at the loss of income on the part of the press employees and distributors. We offer this poem to ease their feelings with sympathy.

To appear but not be seen Ears hear but not listen Man should exercise introspection Pack away what has happened Obviously all understand it

We are only onlookers Distance lacking, does not mean touching Embellishment may not bring beauty Tranquil sleep is no more ours Interesting, yet it's only a dream Keep on waiting

Our sympathy remains Enunciation is pleasant Done by virtue of words Indefinite is the path to be trodden The unexpected has occurred Oh God, when will awareness come Remember there are those who wait

May the employees and distributors be comforted by this.
