A Sonnet 20: Top Dog Poem by Ayatullah Nurjati

Soon the national event will begin
This is a fact that will be explained, not just a promise but it doesn't make its citizens crazy
The drumbeat of the war of ideas will once again don't create any distance of margin
The emerging political nuances indicate that this country is truly mature in marking its democracy

The citizens of this country must also be smart in choosing their leaders
Even though I'm just like a cricket in the wilderness or like a bay leaf which always becomes a spice when the water is stirred up where delicious side dishes are served and then thrown away when it's accidentally served on the dining table. Well that's the fate of commoners like me
Actually, it's simple to choose a leader, namely someone who is trustworthy and can accommodate our aspirations as their users
Citizens should not only be used when the democratic party starts, but should be protected when they lead as tiers

Don't easily make sweet promises if the reality is zero
Don't give a speech easily, it turns out it's just a lie
Give real action so that we believe in you, politician of hero
Make us comfortable when you are there to voice our conscience like a pixie

We trust you with real proof not just only a prolog
Give voice to our hearts when you rule. It doesn't matter where you come from, what color you are or who you are because you are the top dog
