    Horrors of 1998

    By: Keisha Andivia

    Horror, is all I felt


    When I heard your voice
    Screaming, at the back of my head
    The loud sound pounding
    For justice! you screamed
    For equality! you screamed, again
    For Indonesia! you screamed, one last time
    Before BANG! The bullet slipped through your skull
    Putting you in a lifeless state

    Before you fall in an eternity long rest,


    I looked at you and saw red
    Bloodshot, brave, backstabbed
    You are just one fire, in a million
    Standing with endless young and strong students
    Begging for democracy and integration
    Things the authorities wont give

    The 1998 tragedy was a plague,


    Infecting us with grief and graphic gruesome memoirs
    In only politics were legitimate
    And sovereignty was adequate
    This bloodshed would not happen

    In the end, all we need is cooperation


    Between the government and us
    Like the sun and moon
    There are ups and downs
    But we are bound together
    Trying to reach prosperity
