Turut berduka…

<a

By: ASN, Jakarta, 28 Oktober 2010

Bencana tak ada akhir..
Wasior tertimbun longsor
Mentawai tersapu Tsunami..
Merapi yang muntahkan isi bumi,
semburkan lahar, awan panas membakar
Sudah cukup banyak air mata
Sudah cukupkah kita bertanya apakah kita telah
perlakukan alam dan sesama manusia sepantasnya?
Turut prihatin dengan keadaan saudara2ku
Larut dalam duka dan doa…
