rainy days and you

Rainy Days and You

Karimata feat. Phil Perry

each time I see those thick dark clouds

I used to smile and make a wish

that it would turn.. turn to rain

because I know that I would watch

for you to play under the rain

but now when rainy days are here

I feel so blue ‘cause I can’t hear

all your laughter in the falling rain

and it brings sadness to my heart

knowing that you’ve gone from my side.. my side

since that rainy days and you make a symphony

the rain without you makes the blues

happy days and you will always be right here to stay

where the rainy day brings me back

brings me back into your arms…

...such a perfect song, during each n every raindrops...

hanya ingin tidur nyenyak...

bukan masalah kiri atau kanan
ini bukan soal pilihan
bukan soal telunjuk kamu
bukan soal cermin yang berdiri tegak mengumbar makna yang terperangkap diam

ini soal tidur malamku

aku hanya ingin tidur nyenyak setiap malam
bermimpikan bintang, senja atau ilalang liar
dan aku berharap kamu pun demikian
tidur nyenyak malam ini
karena tau telah melakukan kebenaran
tidur nyenyak malam berikutnya
tanpa dengung nyamuk pengganggu tidur
yang mungkin hadir karena mendengar suara hati yang terabaikan

mulutmu harimaumu...

buat gw, ga gampang untuk berkata2 manis
dan seringkli, kata2 terlontar begitu saja tanpa melalui proses pikir dan rasa
menimbulkan amarah dan kecewa

bgitu mudah untuk meminta maaf
tp sungguh sulit untuk memberi maaf

the next generation is desperately need our help

while the world is busy talking about global warming,
the next generation is screaming for help

oprah winfrey was bringing out a subject of children committing suicide for constantly being bullied and harrassed
and those kids were only 8-12years old!
one of the kid has been harrased for 8years!

what on earth is happening to them???

a cousin of mine was having trouble during her first year in senior high
she said, they need to collect money for their senior and if they couldn't meet the target, the chairman would get physical punishment
to avoid this, those kids lied to their parents or even borrowed money from others

another day, she told me that her good-looking classmate was forced to have her hair done in this particular old way during her years in high-school because she was seen dressing so cute by her senior in one of the shopping mall

she told me so many unbelievable stories of the harrassment happened at school
some of those were happening right before the teachers' eyes
no punishment was given

my jaw dropped
felt like screaming
what have we done???

children are a perfect copycat
they see what we do, and copy it perfectly
without understanding the reason nor consequences
while the one should be giving explanation is too busy saving the world from global warming

i have no idea where we should start cleaning this mess
but we wouldn't want anything bad happen to them rite?
so come on, spend more time with the children
they don't always need material thing, they do need our love and physical existance
love them...
be there for them...
take care of them and show them that you care...

children is the reason why we're all doing what we're doing today
they are our future
where their hands hold hopes for a better everything

Catatan tentang K.I.T.A

Hri ini aku merindu kmu, sdemikian parahnya sampai sesak dan ngilu
Entah sdh brapa belas kalender terbuang sejak hri itu kta bersama
Entah brapa banyak aib yg terkuak dan membekas dalam ingatan
Tangis dan ksedihan pun seringkli berakhir dgn tawa, saling mtertawakan kbodohan

Aku merindu sore2 dimana kta menyusuri jalanan dago dgn ceria
Menikmati hembusan angin dr jendela yg turun nyaris penuh
Memanjakan mata menebar senyum memikat
Setelah kenyang melahap burger dan teh porsi dobel

Aku merindu mlm hingarbingar kta
Keriaan dark-genic membisikkan satu nama untuk semua
Tak peduli walau esok kantong kosong bersih tak bersisa
Senyum ceria tak pudar dr wajah kantuk

Aku merindu hri2 penuh goler2 dan kunyah2 tak henti
Aku merindu obrolan2 ringan dan penuh makna

Ahhh temanku sayang, sungguh aku rindu

Smoga pd sobekan berbelas dan berpuluh kalender kemudian,
Kita msh akan tetap ada...

...you know who you are dear...
