Beri aku jarak

Beri aku jarak

Tak ada wine Tak ada blues Malam ini
Mengikuti langkahmu hingga tak terlihat lagi sudut matamu
nyaris tersesat jika saja kepang rambutmu tak memberi isyarat
Kemana langkah kau ayun dan cerita kau tuliskan dalam gambar warna warni

Jangan terlalu cepat , sayang
Beri aku jarak yang memungkinkanku tak kehilangan jejakmu
Meski perempuan telah membunuh tiga belas manusia ular
Tapi aku perempuan biasa di belantara hutanmu

Kepang rambutmu terus melambai
seperti ekor kuda dilereng Upper Mustang
Berjalan pada jarak yang memungkinkanku tak kehilangan jejakmu

Perkawinan

Perkawinan

Sesunyi inikah perkawinan
Tak cuma rasa senggama,
Perih yang kau kenalkan tak ada habisnya

sundown in my mind

Hahaha..rasanya menyenangkan. I get back my secret little world! memiliki teman dialog dalam pikiran begitu membebaskan. kita menjadi siapa yang kita mau, dan kita merdeka untuk bahkan tak menjadi siapa-siapa di sana. jika hanya ada aku dan kau, apakah itu egois? jika aku memonopolimu, dan kau memonopoliku, apakah ini akan mengganggu orang lain? jika ada yang kebetulan membaca tulisan ini, apakah aku mengajak mereka dalam dialog ini, atau aku tetap menganggapnya seolah tiada, tak ada siapa-siapa, kecuali lagi-lagi, mungkin kau-pun tak ada, karena yang ada sebenarnya hanya aku

You are Me, I am You, We are One, We are Love.

Ok, maka tidak terlalu penting lagi menyoal apakah ini aku, apakah ini kau. sendiri atau bersamamu. Tapi bagaimana dengan orang lain? yang membaca tulisan ini? bagaimana aku harus memperlakukan mereka? apakah mereka orang lain ya?bahkan aku tidak tahu siapa mereka, kecuali satu dua teman yang mengatakan, " hey, update dong blog kamu, tambah lagi puisinya". atau mantan pacar yang berjanji akan membuatkan design blog yang lebih baik, dan tak pernah dia mulai sampai hari ini, atau seorang suami yang tinggal di sebuah negara yang dilanda konflik mengaku bahwa istrinya " penasaran" untuk tahu lebih banyak tentang nama yang meluncur dari bibir suaminya dengan mata berbinar.oh god... I miss you...and I don't care who you are. tapi keterlaluan sekali jika aku tidak tahu namamu. Engkau rela kupanggil siapa saja, selain namamu sendiri. jika engkau semesta, maka namamu seluas cakrawala. Engkau memanggilku kupu kupu, little butterfly. inilah namaku, menurutmu. tapi siapa namamu? engkau tersenyum ketika kupanggil " Bee," aku memanggillmu Kasih, dan bibirmu mengunci debaran binatang purbamu. its sundown..time to back home.......... Barakallah

Western Sahara

RI's active role in Western Sahara

Opinion News - Thursday, August 14, 2008

Fadel Kamal, Sydney

Once again Indonesia is playing an active role in promoting world peace. An international conference on Peace Building and Conflict Prevention in the Muslim World organized by Nahdlatul Ulama in Jakarta on July 29 - Aug. 1, 2008. A delegation from Western Sahara participated in the conference.

In 1955, a victory in solidarity was achieved in the name of liberty and human freedoms for oppressed peoples with the Asia-Africa Conference and in the first stirrings of the non-aligned movement during the famous Bandung Conference.

At issue then were the aspirations of many peoples in Asia and in Africa to enact their rights as peoples and to exercise the sovereignty denied them by colonial rulers as well as to ensure the scourge of colonization no longer afflicts our world. Indonesia's role, now as then, is significant.

Today, Asia is a thriving region of generally independent states. Colonialism is, for most, a bitter, if all too recent memory. In Africa too, colonial powers have withdrawn to release that continent's panoply of peoples and cultures.

Few decolonization processes have been easily won, or smoothly realized. Yet all have engendered a greater appreciation of freedom, for the principles of human rights and democracy.

Yet, in Africa, one colony remains: Western Sahara. Those vaunted principles so valued and in whose name so much has been dedicated remain absent here. Many of the indigenous Sahrawi people languish in refugee camps and can only dream of independence. Colonial occupiers have attacked our people, stolen our resources and separated families via a 2,700 km long sand wall, which is dotted with military posts and landmines.

In the face of this, the Saharawi people have denounced violence as a first option solution. We have established a government, democratically elected, which has been recognized by over 80 countries and is a member of the African Union (AU). Morocco's occupation is recognized by no-one. But the presence of a Moroccan military occupation in Western Sahara since 1975 represents a significant spanner in the works on the world's decolonization well-oiled machinery.

Few countries are as well positioned as Indonesia to work towards a win-win decolonization process in Western Sahara.

Decolonization, it might be said, is in the very life-blood of modern Indonesia. The first paragraph of the RI Constitution preamble, struck in1945, reads: "With independence being the right of every nation, colonialism must be eliminated from the face of the earth as it is contrary to the dictates of human nature and justice."

RI's official foreign policy seeks to ensure its "role in settling international problems, particularly those threatening peace and contrary to justice and humanity."

As a country that understands the injustices and inhumanity inherent in colonialist occupation, RI must surely not only empathize with its Muslim brothers and sisters in Western Sahara, but can securely refer to its own national principles to help end their plight.

Indeed, this is something the Indonesian government appears to be doing. The government has set a course for raising RI's profile as a responsible international power, befitting its size and heritage.

Making RI's task more pressing is the fact that Western Sahara is on the UN decolonization list, the International Court of Justice has reaffirmed the right of the Saharawi people to self-determination in its famous verdict of 1975 and, there is a UN Settlement Plan that has been agreed by both parties Morocco and Polisario.

Furthermore, The UN, the African Union (AU) and the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) have all adopted positive stances which support the right of the Saharawi people to self-determination.

We have agreed to participate in a free and fair referendum to decide the fate of Western Sahara. So has Morocco. But they, like colonial powers through the ages, reneged on their agreement and have since refused to consider that option.

That Western Sahara's independence movement remains committed to democracy and has renounced terrorism and violence should not be ignored. Should the global community wish to reward these values, then Western Sahara presents the opportunity to do so.

Indonesia, now poised to become an even greater influence on the world stage, can encourage that process and build on its Bandung legacy. It can help realize something the international community has failed to reach for over three decades: the enduring self-determination of the people of Western Sahara.

pinjamkan jemari yang menulis basmallah di payudara

pinjamkan setangkup bibir yang meronce pasir sahara


musik belum belum berakhir

ketika matamu mengunci kataku

Saharawi, tell me your dreams

" Kemerdekaan adalah hak setiap bangsa..."

" Once you learn more about the issue you will realize how it is unjust to subjugate a people to so much suffering and keep it hidden from the outside world.".

Fadi, thanks to open my eyes that there are lots of human tragedy remains and how come the world ignored it so long??
Satu dari 16 negara yang sampai sekarang belum memperoleh kemerdekaan dan kedaulatan atas tanah tumpah darah dan airnya adalah Western Sahara.
dan Indonesia, sebagai ketua komisi di PBB, yang membidangi khusus atas isue ini, seolah tidak punya tenaga untuk menggerakkan semangat konferensi Asia-Afrika, " pembebasan dari segala bentuk penjajahan dan kemerdekaan abadi bagi seluruh bangsa".
Janganlah sejarah Timor Timur menjadi alasan untuk tidak berani mengambil inisitiaf dan ambil kepemimpinan dalam upaya mendapatkan kemerdekaan bagi negara-negara yang sampai hari ini masih berada dalam penguasaan negara lain.
sungguh menyedihkan seandainya Indonesia yang secara revolusioner pernah memberi inspirasi dunia dengan konferensi Asia Afrika di Bandung, justru tidak tahu bagaimana menggunakan kesempatan dan pengaruhnya untuk membuka kemungkinan yang lebih besar untuk katakanlah, mendorong referendum dan self determination bagi rakyat Western Sahara.
