Sebetulnya saya tidak terlalu suka untuk mengutip hal-hal yang telanjur popular dan fenomenal. Tapi, rasa-rasanya apalagi yang bisa saya katakan untuk mewakili kekesalan saya pada genosida yang saya pikir tak pernah akan ada lagi setelah Hitler bunuh diri.

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)
Copyright 2009
A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive
They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right
But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Dan tahukah apa yang saya harapkan tiap kali bangun pagi?
Semoga media tak lagi punya alasan untuk selalu menyuguhkan penderitaan umat manusia sebagai topik utama. Tapi bisakah?

huhuhu...penderitaan manusia cuma lelucon buat manusia yang lain ren.
pembantaian besar2an adalah sirkus yang sudah jadi bagian berita rutin tiap pagi.
dan media, tentu saja menjual sirkus...
sedih yo sebetulnya...
