Indonesia Is Our Homeland Poem by Sari Mavi

Indonesia Is Our Homeland



Why you guys, suddenly wish about
Ambitious to ruffle this Country?

Are not you (supposed to be)the next generation
The heroes struggle despite being in a different era?

We hear stories
We know their pain
Blood, sweat and tears

There was never any fear of taking independence
For the sake of realizing a sovereign state for their children and grandchildren

With the basic philosophy of "Pancasila" to unite all its people

You know, leaders in this country work so hard
Maintaining the integrity of a large family called "Indonesia"

Protect whoever is inside
Providing decent welfare for its people

If you hear the name "Indonesia"
What's in your mind?
One great country known as the "Zamrud Khatulistiwa"

Its people are well-known, friendly,
Likes to work together, love each other, without looking
who are you, who am I

How many years later are you coming
You are the next generation to be proud of
Being knowledgeable, being smart people, then

Armed with knowledge of the past, as necessary
You keep your passions, ambitions and dreams of power

In the name of the suffering of the people, you seem to be fighting
Not tired of upholding truth and justice

Then what have you done?
No more than just shredding unity, without mercy
In fact you are enjoying various efforts to divide the unity

You come together
You are clustered
Like a hungry sheep's weasel

Some of you become leaders for others
The Charismatic Leader
Carrying his wishes - which we do not all like
Spreading charm, holding dreams

Teaches absolute an understanding
Beyond the healthy reason we have

O youth!
We should have risen for
the pursuit of self-lagging,
Not for each other
self-destructive
Not to harm your other brothers-sisters

If you think, change must happen,
By all means you will

So we will not be silent, we will also act,
Destroying changes that are detrimental to us

Let us live
Let us inherit the spirit of Nationality
our ancestors

If you do not like this
Do not share your life with us
In this country

You should know
Then you can go
Do not come back here
If only to disturb the peace and happiness of our lives!
