Despite the English title, I'll do this one in Bahasa Indonesia,because a lot of my friends requested one. Enjoy!

Dikhianati Alam
Terik matahari menusuk kulit
Angin berhembus bagai menelanjangiku
Daun-daun beterbangan,
bagaikan menari diatas penderitaanku
Bunga bermekaran satu-satu
Berdiri tegak menuju mentari
Semua bagaikan mengacuhkanku
Dengan dagunya yang diangkat tinggi
Ratapanku tak didengar
Oleh para semak belukar
Mereka seperti asik sendiri
Sedangkan masalahku,hanya aku yang mencicipi
Sungai gemericik mengalir pelan
Walaupun aku terus bersedu-sedan
Air danau tenang tanpa riak
Terasa seperti mengejekku dengan congkak
Ku disini berdiri sendiri,
Bahkan alam pun mengkhianati
Ejekan,cemoohan dan sindiram datang bergulir
Membuat diriku terus berpikir
Belum cukupkah penderitaanku?
Tangisku, teriakku, rasa sakitku?
Namun ku tahu suatu waktu
Akan ada juluran tangan siap membantu
P.S:Sorry if its bad,I'm not really good at making poems in Bahasa Indonesia xD

Anak yang selalu lapar
Suatu siang di bulan puasa...
"Haduh,kenapa sih si Arif,ngajak-ngajak ke bazaar segala!",gerutu Joni kesal.Ya,ia terpaksa menemani sahabatnya,Arif ke bazaar karena sebagai balas budi telah membelikannya es cendol hari sebelumnya."Bu,Joni pergi dulu ya!",Joni pamit dari ibunya."Ya sudah,pulanglah sebelum Maghrib!",sahut ibunya.Ia pun mulai mengayuh sepedanya ke lapangan sekolah yang hanya terletak beberapa ratus meter dari rumahnya.
Sesampainya di sana,ia pun langsung mengunci sepedanya di tempat yang disediakan.Dan langsung mencari Arif yang telah berjanji bertemu dengannya pukul 2.00.Ia lirik jam tangannya,sudah pukul 2.38."Wah,Arif bisa marah lagi nih.",pikirnya dalam hati.Setelah menelpon telpon genggam Arif beberapa kali dan tidak ada jawaban,ia pun keliling sekolah mencari Arif.Sungguh melelahkan,kerongkongannya terasa sangat kering,perutnya pun mulai lapar.Namun apa dayanya,puasanya tak boleh gagal lagi..Ia pun memilih untuk duduk beristirahat sebenar di kursi taman yang kebetulan cukup sejuk karena berada di bawah pohon rindang.
Beberapa menit mengistirahatkan badan,ia melihat seorang anak laki-laki,ia perkirakan sekitar umur 7-8 tahun,berjalan mendekatinya."Hei,kak!mau es jeruk nggak?Siomay juga ada nih,enak loh!",seru anak itu dengan memasang senyuman di mukanya,sedikit mengejek.Ia menyodorkan gelas es jeruk dingin dan sepiring siomay yang masih hangat.Geram,Joni sebenarnya ingin membentak anak itu.Namun ia teringat,bulan puasa haruslah sabar.Ia pun hanya berkata dengan halus, " Maaf,saya lagi puasa dek.Terima kasih tawarannya.". Anak itu pergi dengan muka kurang puas,lalu mendatangi beberapa anak lainnya di dektnya,dan mengatakan hal yang sama.Joni mulai berpikir, "Dasar anak sialan.Jelas-jelas semua yang di sini lagi puasa,malah nawarin makanan sama minuman.".Ia terus memasang pandangan pada anak itu,dan ternyata anak itu menawarkan makanan dan minumannya kepada hampir semua orang yang ia lihat.Tentunya,banyak orang yang jengkel dan menghardiknya,namun anak itu malah tertawa senang.
Setelah mengamati anak itu mengulangi perbuatan nakalnya itu,Joni menyadari anak itu sedang dikepung dan diteriaki beberapa anak SMA.Ia segera berlari mendekat,takut jika anak itu diperlakukan yang tidak-tidak.Ia mendengar seorang anak SMA itu berkata, "Dasar bocah kurang ajar!Sengaja ya lu nawarin minuman?Udah tau kita lagi puasa.Gua hajar baru tau rasa lu!" sambil mengacungkan tangannya.Tanpa berpikir panjang,ia menyelak di tengah kerumunan itu seraya berkata, "Maaf kak,ini adik saya.Dia memang nakal,tolong maafkan.".Anak SMA itu melepaskan genggamannya,lalu menjawab, "Kalo punya adek tuh dijaga dong!gedean dikit udah gua tabok tuh anak!".Joni dan anak kecil itupun berjalan pergi.
Joni membawa anak itu ke suatu tempat yang agak sepi,lalu mulai menasihatinya."Nah,tau rasa kan?Kita tuh lagi puasa,malah kamu tawarin makanan!Pernah diajarin nggak,kalo kita harus menghargain ibadah orang lain?".Anak itu hanya tertunduk,meremas-remas tangannya yang kurus.Bebereapa saat hening,lalu anak itu mulai berani berbicara."Kakak tau nggak?Selama ini,saya juga kelaparan.Setiap hari.Berusaha minta uang untuk membeli makanan ke orang yang saya temui di pinggir jalan.Apakah ada yang menoleh kak?Tidak!Mereka mengacuhkan saya!",seru anak itu tiba-tiba.Joni kaget.Tanpa ia sempat menjawab,anak itu berseru lagi,"Kalian nggak pernah ngerasain apa yang saya rasakan!Kalau lapar,tinggal beli saja.Sementara saya kak?Harus berusaha mati-matian,sampai ketemu orang yang berbelas kasihan!Hanya di bulan seperti ini saja,saya bisa membalas kalian kak!Salahkah saya,kalu membanggakan hasil jerih payah saya berhari-hari?Biar kalian rasakan,apa enaknya melihat orang makan di depan mata kalian,sementara kalian hanya bisa diam,kelaparan dan kehausan!Biar kalian ikut merasakan derita saya!".Terlihat mata anak itu mulai berkaca-kaca.Joni pun takjub,kaget akan cerita anak itu.Hatinya mulai tersentuh."Maafkan saya,saya tidak tahu apa yang kamu alami.Tapi jangan begini juga dong.Nanti kalau kamu yang disakiti orang,bagaimana?",jelasnya pada anak itu.Ia melanjutkan,"Sini,kamu ikut saya saja dulu pulang ke rumah.Saya carikan baju,biar bajumu yang kumal itu diganti.Sekalian mandi saja dulu.".Anak itupun mengangguk pelan,menatap Joni dengan senyuman tipis."Arif bisa menunggu,pikir Joni.
"Don't waste your money on what you want,think about the others who can't get what they need"

A Born Loner
I once had some friends.
They told me to share the pains and sorrows of life with them.
They told me they can provide the helping hand i may need sometimes.
They told me they will be the solutions to some of my problems.
They told me that they will never leave me,and told me that i should stay with them
But look at me now.
I stayed,but they all left.
And i'm going back into the nothingness i was within.
Standing alone,struggling with life's challenges.
Nobody to hang unto, nobody to miss and to love.
No one that will reach their hand to help me in case i fall.
No one and no one at all.
Here i am,walking against the wind alone.
I'll have to learn to struggle with only myself,not to tremble in front of all the pains in life.
Not to fall on my knees everytiome i'm scared.
Not to run everytime i face an obstacle.
To depend on nobody but myself.
To trust nobody on myself.
And probably not to love anybody but myself.
Because only now i can realize that
I am a truly born loner.

The Winner and The Loser
One day, a man was sitting on a bench in the park, and at the same time, there's a boy sitting near him.That boy started to throw rocks to the pond in front of them.
That man started to think that the boy was trying to annoy him, so he started to throw some rocks, but not even one of those rocks could jump further than that boy's.
Man: You're great, boy. I can't throw that far! I thought I could win from you!
Boy: But I think I've lost from my target, I wish I could throw these rocks to another side of this pond.

Save the World
All my friends and anyone who is reading this.
Please do me a little favor.
As you see,
the world is getting hotter everyday.
Air pollution getting worse everyday.
Floods happenning continuously everywhere.
And if someone can ssave the world from all of these,
IT'S US.
So,let's help to save the world.
Don't just say "Reduce electronics usage" while you,yourself, are turning on an AC, lamps, a computer and a TV at the same time.
Don't just say "Let's clean air pollution" while you,yourself, are using a car just to go somewhere 50 metres far.(or should i say near)
Don't just say "Reduce.Reuse.Recycle" while you,yourself, are not willing to separate the paper trash and the plastic trash.
Because my friend,there are people cruel enough out there to actually sacrifice the world for money.
Trees being cut wildly to be sold.
Killing fishes by bombing the whole sea,again to be sold.
Burning forests to give them space to build some resorts and villas.
And only when the last fish has been killed,the last tree has been cut down,and the last leaf has rot,then they will realize that they can't eat money.
This, is just a short message from me,not for the goods of myself,but the world we are living in.

Weary Night
Silence,deep in the ebony sky.
I stared at the moon,seems like it was crying.
Golden tears dropped down,a frown embraced at its beautiful face.
The despair it exhales got into my bone.
It took a peek into my numb soul.
What a cry it was.
The second time she wailed,it sounded so vindictive.
Then,she calmed.
her murmurs turned into smiles.
But i saw treachery in it.
Either filled with grief, rage, or regret.
It gave me pain even when i took just a small glance.
By then, i realized.
Something was missing.
She cried for what she missed.
Something she longed even before human's absolution
It tickled my heart,thinking if i should help.
But i didn't.
I already closed my eyes,got sank deep into my world of dreams.
I let the stars befriend her.
Because i have my own world to live in.
I have my own sorrow to live with.
And i have my own friend to befriend me.
Because they,and only them,are my only reason to hang in and live.
