Reaction to the attack
Cindy,
Jakarta, Indonesia
Hands
Little creatures,
Helpless newborns,
Sent to struggle in a world
Of cruelty and crime:
From the clear
glass window
I noticed their smiles;
They way they moved
Those hands
Too delicate
To touch the dark sides of the earth
The purest
Most angelic creation
Of the Mighty Lord
How will those
hands
Color the world
Of tomorrow?
Will those
Bring comfort to others
Wipe tears away
Enlighten the blues
And warm the wintry days?
Or will they
Contrast the earth
With darkness
And fill us
With air of sorrow?
On this very sheet
of paper
I mark all my hopes and dreams
To let all the world know
My message for the coming generation:
Be thankful
For He has given you
A gift that enables
To do anything you want
Be whatever you want to be
Hold fast to your
dreams, my friends
The future of the world is in your hands.
Natalie,
Jakarta, Indonesia
Not Very Amused
Swaying on the
cliff of turmoil
An echoing voice threatening those innocent
Rage surrounds westerners like a cloud of soot
Bitter blackberries swirl in an unorganized whirl pool
Hammering upon the group with eyes of ruby blood;
Congregating together foreigners contemplate their next move
After all this is our home too
A needle pricks fears balloon
Regardless the consequence our nails are bolted; not to remove
Indeed we are not very amused.
