Ground Report

By Aulia Rachmat (Ollie)

People are strange,

though they are wont to think that they are God’s most perfect creation;

the sovereign state people who are subservient to others,

to reach the highness of nobility that’s never gotten peaked by their fate ordained.

While some of us think to be the chosen people,

others are doomed as the outcast;

while some of us loves themselves,

others live in scorn;

while some strive for a living,

you hear someone yelling, “there are always more fish in the sea!”

Let’s commercialize the world by the slogan of ‘peace’
as we won the battle to achieve the unity.

One in many…many in one……

Diversifying one united nation of people of the earth from different colors; yellow peril, white slave and nigger –
how about wet back, junky and yuppie?  

I sometimes have a dream if I could put all the people inside-out,

with the inner surface turned out,

where all the colors are hidden, and the heart will appear outside to symbolize the center of human being in the name of love and affection.
