Perkara Pandemik

Dengan sekali ketuk, ia buat bumi yang sibuk jadi terpuruk
Menggerogoti pelan paru kita semua
Semesta mengutuk si mimpi buruk
Padahal awalnya ibu pertiwi menanggapi tertawa

Perkara pandemik memang pelik
Orang orang dibuat panik
Ada yang menderma
Ada yang serakah memangsa harta
Ada lagi jadi yang dimangsa
Tersingkap banyak rupa manusia

Persenjataan melawan pandemik kian langka
Yang serakah semangat sekali menimbun harta

Dari mereka ada yang sok membela agama
Mengutuk mereka yang berniat baik
Katanya, jangan mengukung hak datang ke tempat ibadah hanya karena pandemik
Percayakan saja pada takdir sang Khalik

Turut mewarnai pula kabar dusta yang merebak cepat dari mulut ke mulut
Buat yang kalut kian tersulut
Dusta dan fakta nyaris serupa
Entah tanggung jawab siapa

Sementara pandemik makin merebak
Ada saja yang tetap keras kepala
Hura-hura untuk melenyapkan hasratnya saja
Bersikukuh menantang perang bermodal nekat pada pasukan tak kasat mata

Wahai tentara pemulih

Jiwamu mulia bersih

Mari angkat topi untuk mereka pasukan putih

Meregang nyawa untuk selamatkan yang ringkih

Ini duka bumi kita

Mari sembuhkan bersama

Ambil peran sesuai porsinya

Jangan kita menutup mata

Kurang-kurang nafsu ambisi

Tambah-tambah empati di hati

Perkara pandemik

Semoga bumi acap membaik

-tertanda aku yang semangat dengan social distancing movement

Mari dirumah saja dan jaga kesehatan

Supernova

Million bulbs in the void, bursts into a piece as its light disperse, like a supernova, we dwell in the fading light, fight against gravity and grow red, restart, become blue with fury, sedated by dark, concourse into the blackhole, turning it into a singularity, succumbing to the demise, reconciled with eternity. We were once scintilation, before we collapse into one, so what are we now? -vic

To Be Small Before the Divine

The storm within me has known no rest. It visits in the hush between dawn and prayer, when the world still slumbers, and my thoughts grow loud. The earth spins swiftly on its axis, chasing the sun with relentless haste, yet here I stand—tethered, heavy, slow. My soul lags behind the march of men; I watch the days unravel like threads slipping from weary hands. I meet countless faces, radiant and certain, yet within me, doubt stirs like a restless tide. I ask myself, Who am I in the vast decree of His creation? A breath among storms, a grain among mountains, a spark that flickers, known only to the One who kindled it. The world teaches us to run—to build, to gather, to proclaim our worth upon fragile pedestals—but my heart whispers another truth: that to diminish oneself before the Divine is the only way to truly rise. For what glory can man claim when his end is dust, when his pulse is but a loan from the Almighty? I have seen men boast of their light, yet forget that light ...

My September in the Midst of Chaos

(I made this on September, 3rd, 2025) This September feels so heavy in Indonesia. Everywhere I turn, the news is filled with protests, anger, and heartbreak. The unrest began in August, when public anger erupted over lawmakers’ lavish housing perks—benefits so excessive they felt like mockery against the struggles of ordinary people. That anger only deepened with the tragedy of Affan Kurniawan, a young motorcycle taxi driver killed by an armored police vehicle during a demonstration. His death, caught on camera, became a symbol of injustice and sparked a wave of grief and rage. That image has stayed with me, as it has with so many others. Now the unrest has spread across the country—Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Makassar. Protesters fill the streets, government buildings and police stations are burned, and casualties keep rising. Security forces respond with tear gas, arrests, and armored vehicles, while leaders seem distant, even absent. Watching President Prabowo attend a m...
