Sinking the
Poor
Addy
Hasan
Jakarta was the city of every
citizen
Where the poor and the rich used to meet
Jakarta was the city of millions
hope
When the struggle and dreams came
Sinking the dreams and hope of poor
Jakarta is for the have
Left behind tears and cries of
mother and children
The poor was evicted from their
homeland
Leaving their dreams and hope
The rich were risen to the
skyscraper
Getting their wealthy and success
Thousand houses of fishermen were
destroyed
Near luxury apartments and
gallant malls
All is evicted, until it
is destroyed.
Now Jakarta only for conglomerates
In the name of development
said the leader
Ciliwung riverbank, Luar
Batang, Rawajati all is evicted
Left debris and hurts
But not Mangga Besar the
buildings of Conglomerates
Thousand houses and giant
buildings stand still
The poor living in hired narrow
flat
Let them live like a bird
in a cage
Make them to rent the flat
to the rest of life
It is the place for the
poor
Made children miss school,
fathers were forced to idle
And again it is for
modernization
And the leader said again “It’s
for better Jakarta”
Sinking the poor…
