The Office Rats

A story of the office rats
Who likes to swim in dirty rivers
A story of the office rats
Who likes to break promises and hides away
 
They're behind my workmate's desk
They're in the steel file cabinet
 
The cat came and he quickly changed faces
He immediately prides himself as flawless
Never losing his sense of pride
As long as it's not proven, he brushes it off
 
Rats don't feel full
They're greedy, so greedy, without doubt
This rat's brain is not the same as a prawn's brain
The cat then came but the rat disappears
 
Just as the cats' sleepy job
They never remember the office rat who comes to terrorize
He's clever and cunning, the rat acts spiteful
Perhaps the cat was pretending to be attentive
 
The rat knows that the cat is hungry
His beloved piece of bread is on a smooth road
Unfortunately this rat is very clever
Or perhaps the cat is not that quite smart
 
Rats don't feel full
They're greedy, so greedy, without doubt
This rat's brain is not the same as a prawn's brain
The cat then came but the rat disappears
 

The Young Bachelor

A young man walks by
With a shabby jacket worn over his shoulders
Between his dry, chapped lips
Tucks a spliff of weed
 
Clearly staring at the drifting clouds
A gloomy face became visible
With an unsteady and misguided pace
His sweat mixed with dust from the streets
 
Oh, you young bachelor
You are restless, trying to look for a job
Relying much on your degree
 
Four years have passed
You wrestled with books
Trying to guarantee your future
 
Your footsteps have stopped
In front of the classified ad pages for an agency
 
Surfeited, you weakly walked on
In front of the office door
The sign reads: 'NO VACANCY'
For a job that you've coveted
 
Never caring to try again
Yet you get the same word
Clearly staring at the drifting clouds
A gloomy face became visible
 
Oh, you young bachelor
You are restless, no longer working
Relying much on your degree
 
Four years have already passed
You wrestled with books
But everything is in vain
 
Half broken, in despair, he said: 'I'm sorry, Mother'
 

(A Letter To) The People's Representatives

For those of you who sit around discussing
For those of you who used to go on a safari
Over there at the DPR Building
 
The People's Representatives form a great crowd
Merely not a group of close friends
And moreover, not family relatives
 
With our hearts and tongues, we hope
That you please hear our voices and then convey them
Never hesitate, never be afraid of such obstacles
Speak loudly, never be silent!
 
We put it in your safari pouches
The future of us and this country
From Sabang to Merauke
 
Our brethren were not chosen through lottery
Although we do not know who our brethren are
We do not need champions
A silent champion, champion he'eh, a champion? ha ha ha......
 
The People's Representatives should be people themselves
Never sleeping at a hearing about the people
The People's Representatives are not a choir
Who only know how to sing of the song: 'Agree!......'
 

Teacher Oemar Bakrie

With a black crocodile-skin bag
'Good Morning' said Mr. Oemar Bakri
'Today, I think, this coffee is delicious'
 
With a black crocodile-skin bag
'Let's go give an exact science lesson'
It's your stunned student, maybe he's been waiting
 
He pedaled his bike through the potholes
It's always like that since the Japanese period
But he was surprised as he entered the gate
As many policemen carried fierce-looking weapons
 
Mr. Oemar Bakri was shocked: 'What on earth!?'
'Fighting, sir!' The student replied like a champion
 
Mr. Oemar Bakri was afraid, without doubt
His old bike sped up then withdrew
Then chaos, in fog, he hurried home
Oh damn! Standing and flying away
 
Oemar Bakri, Oemar Bakri, the civil servant
For forty years in service
Being an honest, devoted teacher, indeed eats his heart out
 
Oemar Bakri, Oemar Bakri, had created so many ministers
Oemar Bakri, even professors, doctors, engineers too
So why is Teacher Omar Bakri's salary been cut off?
 
Oemar Bakri, Oemar Bakri, had created many ministers
Oemar Bakri, made a brain like that of Habibie
So why is Teacher Omar Bakri's salary been cut off?
