Happy 68th Birthday to Indonesia

You have stand up by yourself for more than a jubilee year. You silently witness every moments of grief, tears, and blood for centuries. Corruption, poverty, injustice, and many other absurdity still resides in this land. The path to the bright future may seems dim and long, but, rest assured that, we all will be here with you, fighting for it.

Everybody around the world see the strong growth of this country, which means more prosperity here. Yet, did anyone see that despite of these, the inflation is sky-high?

We used to be proud of our natural resources both from land and sea, but do you know that almost none of them belong to us now?

Don't you feel hypocrite that you throw rubbish everywhere yet you put all the blame on government when the flood arrives, dear people?

Water and electricity shortage is the norm, as well as the lack of well-planned urban planning, infrastructure and facilities is a big problem now and then.

How long do you want to sit on your ass and corrupt every little penny, oh the 'almighty' official up there?

Our environment is degrading to the critical point which will going to cause more problems ahead, everyone~

Beneath this beautiful country, there's still so much sorrow in it. Do you notice that?

Despite all the bad things, there are far too many good things also. <3

Happy 68th Birthday Indonesia! Even though it's still a third-world country with all kind of problems with both of its governments and people, I still love you! Every countries also went through this stage before emerging to the top, so let's do our best! Learn the good from other countries, and implements it here! Together, we can built this nation for the better! I still want to believe the great future ahead! I love Indonesia and proud to be one!
