Cries of the people in conflict-torn areas

Go away with injustice that makes souls sear
that gives us nothing but tears and fear
There should appear right here
in this very sphere
no more flood of blood to see
and no more gunfire to hear
yet a melody of peace and cheer
which is now not so clear
which is now very dear
which is far from being near
moving with so low a gear
from the right ear
to the left ear

-- Deddy Suezdi

The somber motherland

With so many wounds to heal
with so much shame to conceal
with thousands of assets they seal
with so many sorrows to feel
with so many hungry mouths for a meal
and with so little fruit to peel
with diminishing woods, fewer living rhinos and teal
with countless big-time thieves yet to reveal
with so many culprits still heartlessly wanting to steal
along your journey through a terrible ordeal
Now that you are to run out of zeal
what is left for us to rightfully deal?
