Value Poems
The Iron Philosophy
by Ayatullah Nurjati
What did the nation learn from the fire?
That heat tests more than materials.
It tests values.
In peacetime, discussions about allocations sound administrative.
In times of crisis, he becomes ethical.
Do we build to protect?
Or protect to build?
The question used to seem like a choice.
Now understood as a cycle.
Protection without development results in stagnation.

enough

"enough"
it can be sad
to realise not everyone
will like you

Five and Crime
by Darris van-Hoxen
Mi Mi Mi Mi La La La~
Fate tastes of such tangy brine.
Teeth like razors,
destroyed image metric sine.
Blood is a fine—
dripping severed crust,
becoming cultural dust.
Fed to haunted sheep.
Beauty frothing.

"Run away" they say
by Nancy Altraide
This is a story of my past
Of when i was just an ignorant fool
When I wandered with no focus
Am not a stranger to the dark
I've been bruised and deformed
“Hide away” they say
No! run away we mean
No one will love you as you are
But.....

A Song of Resilience
by Ayatullah Nurjati
In mountains high and rivers wide,
Nature speaks, no truth to hide.
It bends, it breaks, but it endures,
Through storms and rains, its heart secure.
Look to the earth, O soul of mine,
In its resilience, God’s grace shines.
A life of trials, yet peace it brings,
Nature whispers the wisdom of kings.

Constructive Worker
by Ayatullah Nurjati
You're not just a laborer, you're a source of value!
You carry the burden, you build, but you're the one with the lightest pockets!
They call you "hard workers," but that's just a cover-up to cover up the "harsh system" that saps your energy! Don't ask "what for," but ask "why" — why do you produce everything, but all you get are scraps?
Your fatigue isn't destiny, it's evidence of structural injustice!
Unite, because you're the ones who should be —not the ones being trampled on— but the ones who determine the direction of history!
