Highest Pregnant Of….
I fled
and found a quiet shed
where I can be my own, I am really happy
I am able to express all truths without being punished,
all based on honesty without being refurbished
and I have spoken out in complete freedom as it should be, freedom without any fear
I have been happiest for a long time,
the country where I was born,
is now led by a sincere and honest man,
a loving husband and dearest father
he always cares about his folk and family
please, know the kindest and honest leader Ir. Jokowi!
Ir. Joko Widodo (pron. Jocko Weedo: do)also called Jokowi (Jockowee)
he is re-elected and has won again for the next 5 years.
all his corrupt predecessors were never chosen by the population
from the Republic of Indonesia, they chose themselves as leaders.
it was always a shame
all these ex-leaders were corrupt and very, very wrong
no one ever dared talk about it
I never dared to write essays about it in local magazines,
what a loss,
if you only knew how great my urge was to express? !
I have been living abroad for a long time
please, know that I am not living in exile
I did not flee and was also not a persona non-grata
I went abroad to continue my studies in letteratura (literature)
and finished that,
since that time I´m giving lectures to students
and dared to publish my hidden creations
about corrupted leaders and civilizations
as you can see now
I had been constantly highest pregnant of expression
I am content and grateful to God, this is reality no illusion
to be able to give birth to my hidden thoughts
about society´s happiness, welfare and mutual freedom
in this country I may call my peaceful kingdom....
with greatest sadness to my homeland
