LABEL THE OUTLAW

-

Judge me by standard.
By morals, by faith.
Judge me as you please.

Study my misfortune.
Count up my failure.
Deduct this ego.
Drain it to zero.

Reform me.
Rebrand me.
Mark me as product.
Sell me by conduct.

Let the world know.
How this man reborn.
Let me clearly see.
How strange I could be.

Those echoes.
Pride of the many.
These crowds.
Praise that never-empty.

Now judge me again.
How much I have gained.

Dengan hidupnya kita di dunia saja, kita sudah dihadapkan pada bermacam masalah yang mesti diseleksi sedemikian rupa untuk pada akhirnya diputuskan mana yang layak diambil peduli. Kecil atau besar, sepele ke bertele-tele. Seiring bertambahnya umur, tak jarang kita dibuat sadar jika apa yang disebut skala prioritas sebenarnya kondisional. Dan karena kondisional, justru yang dirasa lebih pantas diutamakan pertama pada akhirnya tidak jauh dari pemenuhan kebutuhan pribadi. Bukan karena kita egois, tapi karena idealnya segala hal yang bersifat ekstra baiknya dimulai dari intra. Demi apa? Demi kesadaran akan skala prioritas yang re...

THE BEST FATHER

In a parallel universe, somewhere in the near future. My son, a crybaby boy asks me: "What's your dream when you were ten years old, dad?" Since that's a good question from a promising good boy, I tell him a bright-shining light: an answer he really needs the most. What's it? Typical lies.
