lagu cinta

kupandangi langit biru
kurasakan kedamaian
menatap indahnya alam

tanamkanlah perdamaian
hilangkan rasa-rasa dendam
marilah semua bergandengan tangan

nyanyikan…nyanyikanlah lagu cinta
serukan…serukanlah pada dunia
nyanyikan…nyanyikanlah lagu cinta
serukan…serukanlah pada dunia

suara hati rakyat

lihatlah awan hitam
menyelimuti negeri
indonesia yang katanya kaya

kaya akan alamnya
kaya akan budayanya
dan semua itu untuk siapa

kalau memang untuk rakyat
kenapa kami makin melarat
yang kaya cuma pejabat

wahai para wakil rakyat
dengarkanlah suara kami
jangan kau sibuk sendiri

tolong bantu kami
untuk mewujudkan mimpi-mimpi
untuk membangun negeri ini
yang sempat terhenti

tolong dengar suara kami
janji-janji makin tidak terbukti
harga-harga malah semakin tinggi
bahan pokok makin tidak terbeli


memori yang hilang

kuteringat memori lama
waktu kutinggal di Jakarta
kuterbuai mimpi khayalan
hingga ku salah pergaulan

angan tinggi melayang jauh kebulan
menari-nari diatas awan
sambilku hisap rokok sebatang
dan aku akan selalu melayang

kuteringat pesan motherku sayang
cepat kendalikan keadaan
supaya engkau merasa nyaman
yu’ mari semua ikut berdendang

kehormatan yang hilang

pertama kali aku mengenal dirimu
kamu lugu masih malu-malu
senyum manismu membuat aku rindu
tatapan matamu membuatku ngilu

tapi sekarang kamu jauh berbeda
4 tahun ada di jakarta
dan terbiasa dengan pergaulan kota
hingga kau lupa kau ini siapa

sayang disayang anak semata wayang
kehormatannya tlah hilang diambil orang
sayang disayang yang dulu kampungan
kini tlah termakan kejamnya metropolitan

THE IMPACT OF DRUGS

A. The Background of the Study
Everyone in the world ever hears the word “drugs “. But, not all people know about drug. In medical, drug used for treat sick people, for example paracetamol, ctm, diazepam, etc. But, a lot of people misuse it. They used it not for medicinal treatment, but to get side effect relaxing their mind, especially narcotic.
People used this drug (narcotic) to get many effect. Such as analgesics, stimulant, hallucinogen and making happy. Narcotics is kind of drug which have certain effect, very dangerous if it consumption doesn’t follow the advice, because of that reason; people must by controlled by doctor or physician. The abusers of narcotics not only adult, but a lot of young people used it too.

According to the newspaper “ Kompas “ on 4th January 2008
70% the user of narcotics and dangerous drugs is a student. That data from 4 million users of drugs (narcotics) which noted in Indonesia. In particular the ratio of young people abusing drugs, mainly marijuana, remains high.
“That number shows the presentage of drugs user in school age achieve 4% from all students in Indonesia “ Muchlis Catio said.

The spread of drugs become an epidemic in our society. A drug abuser by young people is a problem faced not only by Indonesia, but is also a serious social problem throughout the world. This spread not recognizes the status and the age of people anymore.
Beside the medicine from the doctor, we can find many substances which can give the some effect with narcotic, such as flower and leaf of marijuana, cactus and tahi sapi fungus. Many students’ abuses drugs because of their awareness were less, and they get influence from surrounding, or they just tread because embittered how was if they abuse drugs.
One of effect by abuse drugs is hallucinogen. If people use it for the first time, they can’t just stop used it, because of effect addicted from drugs. Some many characteristic of people who abuse drugs are: their behaviors were change, for example they usually a cheerful person, but suddenly become depressed people, angry without reason, they often feel sleepy, lazy, day dream, and don’t care about purity, become not discipline, their achievement was decrease, hide in a dark place, they steal everything to buy the drugs, nervous, worries, they look like an idiot or stupid, wearing sunglasses and their eyes were red.
The factors involved in the increase in incidence of drugs abuse are complicated, and although there is no clear, solid evidence, urbanization is thought to be a driving force in developing countries.

Reggae, tips & teks

# Bagi temen-temen yang suka lagu reggae dan suka nyanyi lagu reggae, dibawah ada sedikit teks lagu reggae yang mungkin bisa untuk menghafal. Saya sendiri juga suka dengan lagu reggae. Lagunya kan asyik (slow abis). Saya juga pernah mempunyai rambut gimbal, tapi sekarang ngga’ lagi,, boleh si boleh berambut gimbal, tapi jangan lupa keramas n bersihin tu rambut. Sebenere saya juga buat(memproduksi) rambut gimbal, tapi sekarang juga ngga’ lagi. soalnya, temen-temen yang bantu aku buat udah pada kerja.
# Aku punya sedikit tips ni, yaitu : Buat dan ngeRambut g¡MbaLrawat rambut gimbal yang sederhana.
- Cara buatnya : ambilah potongan rambut yang agak panjang, tali ja ujung rambut tsb. Kemudian mulai tahap penyasakan. Untuk tahap ini, sasak jangan menggunakan sisir, tapi pake’ tangan ja. Caranya seperti menali ato mengepang rambut, tapi gak teratur. Setelah itu mulai penyongketan. Kalau mo mendapatkan hasil yang bagus, pergunakan jarum songket berukuran 12/13. Yaitu jarum mulai dimasukkan ke kepangan rambut, lalu jarum ditarik, tapi kalo bisa da sedikit rambut yang ikut keluar, karena agar rambut tsb jadi ruwet didalam. Dan harus dilakukan berulang-ulang, dan agak di putar. Setelah rambut agak keras, jangan diteruskan nyongketnya, yaitu harus dicuci dan dijemur dulu. Lalu mulai menyongket lagi sampai rambutnya bener-bener keras dan bentuknya membulat panjang. saya yakin, temen-temen akan memperoleh hasil yang bagus dan memuaskan.
- Cara ngerawatnya : rambut gimbal harus dicuci ato dikeramas tiap 2 sampe 3 hari sekali (yang pasti dalam 1 minggu, 3x keramas), dan untuk mengeringkan jangan dipanas-panaskan, sebab membuat gimbal jadi berwarna seperti karat dan rontok. Rambut gimbal jangan sampai terkena tanah ato lumpur, karena gimbal yang terkena lumpur, akan sulit dibersihkan dan susah hilang, juga bisa mengakibatkan penyakit didalam rambut. Jangan menali rambut(mengucir) gimbal sampai kencang, itu bisa mengakibatkan gimbal menjadi berkerut, rusak dan mudah patah. Kalau perlu, setelah keramas, gimbal di olesi cream rambut, agar rambut gimbal tetap bagus dan bener-bener terawat.
Mungkin ini dulu tips untu rambut gimbal. Moga-moga ja bisa berguna untuk my plen-plen. Tapi umpama ga’ suka n ga’ berguna, juga ga’ apapa……… good luck to all of you
Salam selalu buat plen-plenku reggae n yang lain… dan gak lupa salam juga buat musisi-musisi baik dalam negeri maupun luar negeri…..

_War

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned -
Everywhere is war -
Me say war.

That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man’s skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes -
Me say war.

That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race -
Dis a war.

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained -
Now everywhere is war – war.

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
that hold our brothers in Angola,
In Mozambique,
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled,
Utterly destroyed -
Well, everywhere is war -
Me say war.

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south -
War – war -
Rumours of war.
And until that day,
The African continent
Will not know peace,
We Africans will fight – we find it necessary -
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory

Of good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah! /fadeout/

SanteRia

I don’t practice Santeria

I ain’t got no crystal ball

Well I had a million dollars but I, I’d spend it all

If I could find that heina and that sancho that she’d found

Well I’d pop a cap in sancho and I’d slap her down

What I really wanna know (my baby)

What I really wanna say, I can’t define

Well it’s love that I neeeeeed

My soul will have to wait till I get back

Find a heina of my own

Daddy’s gonna love one and all

I feel the break, feel the break, feel the break

And I gotta live it out

Oh yeah un-huh

Well I swear that I, what I really wanna know (my baby)

What I really wanna say, I can’t define

Got love! Make it go

My soul will have to…

What I really wanna say (my baby)

What I really wanna say, is I’ve got mine

And I’ll make it

Yes, I’m going up

Tell sanchito that if he knows what is good for him

He best go run and hide

Daddy’s got a new .45

And I won’t think twice

To stick that barrel straight down sancho’s throat

Believe me when I say that I got something for his punk-ass

What I really wanna know (my baby)

What I really wanna say, is there’s just one way back

And I’ll make it

My soul will have to wait

Hotel California

by The Eagles (Khia) ( 9236 views)

On a dark desert highway

Cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas

Rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance

I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway

I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself

This could be Heaven or this could be Hell

Then she lit up a candle

And she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor

I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place

(Such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Any time of year

(Any time of year)

You can find me here

Her mane was Tiffany twisted

She’s got the Mercedes Benz

She’s got a lot of pretty, pretty boys

That she calls “friends”

How they dance in the courtyard

Sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember

Some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain

Please bring me my wine

He said:

“We haven’t had that spirit here since 1969″

And still those voices are calling from far away

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely Place

(Such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face

They’re livin’ it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise

(What a nice surprise)

Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling

Pink champagne on ice

And she said:

“We are all just prisoners here

Of our own device”

And in the master’s chambers

They gather for the feast

They stab it with their steely knives

But they just can’t kill the beast

Last thing I remember

I was running for the door

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

“Relax” said the night man

“We are programed to receive.

You can check out any time you like

But you can never leave”

REGGAE MUSIK

Menurut saya, musik merupakan suatu seni yang mengacu tentang bunyi, nada atau irama, dan membentuk suatu instrumen lagu. Musik dapat membentuk suatu lagu, dan lagu akan membutuhkan suatu teks atau lirik, jadi banyak para musisi Indonesia bahkan dunia, membuat lirik lagu yang didasarkan pada inspirasi atau pada keadaan alamiah, maksudnya, lirik ditulis berdasarkan lingkungan alam sekitar, Baik yang indah maupun tidak. Ada juga lirik lagu di dasarkan pada keadaan hati/perasaan si penulis dan biasanya lirik tersebut berfokus pada rasa cinta, sayang, juga rasa sedih, senang, dsb. Banyak jenis musik yang ada di dunia, yaitu JAZZ, BLUES, REGGAE, SKA, POP, ROCK, dan masih banyak lagi.

Disini saya membahas musik reggae Reggae merupakan suatu musik yang berirama lambat, dan di dalamnya berisi tentang kedamaian, kebebasan, serta rasa cinta. Musik reggae berasal dari gabungan musik ska dan rockstady yang sudah diperbaharui, tetapi musik reggae berbeda dengan kedua musik tersebut. Musik reggae mempunyai alur irama slow, sedangkan musik ska dan rockstady tempo iramanya cepat. Dan irama musik reggae sendiri dipengaruhi elemen musik R&B yang lahir di New Orleans, Soul, Rock, ritmik Afro-Caribean dan musik rakyat Jamaika yang disebut Mento, yang kaya dengan irama Afrika. Kata “reggae” berasal dari ucapan logat Afrika, yaitu dari kata “ragged”. Gagged berarti gerak kagok seperti hentak badan pada orang yang menari dengan iringan musik ska atau reggae.

Reggae & Rasta Bob Marley tentunya adalah bintang musik “dunia ketiga” pertama yang jadi penyanyi group Bob Marley & The Wailers dan berhasil memperkenalkan reggae lebih universal. Akar reggae sendiri selalu menyelami tema penderitaan buruh paksa (ghetto dweller), budak di Babylon, Haile Selassie (semacam manusia dewa) dan harapan kembalinya Afrika. Setelah Jamaica merdeka 1962, buruknya perkembangan pemerintahan dan pergerakan Black Power di US kemudian mendorong bangkitnya Rasta. Reggae sendiri adalah kombinasi dari iringan tradisional Afrika, Amerika dan Blues serta folk (lagu rakyat) Jamaika. Gaya sintesis ini jelas menunjukkan keaslian Jamaika dan memasukkan ketukan putus – putus tersendiri, strumming gitar ke arah atas, pola vokal yang ‘berkotbah’ dan lirik yang masih seputar tradisi religius Rastafari. Reggae pada masa sekarang Di masa sekarang ini, mungkin musik reggae kurang dikenal orang secara menyeluruh, bahkan ada yang tidak mengenal reggae. Hal ini mungkin karena pengetahuan yang kurang dan mungkin karena banyak orang yang tidak menyukai musik tersebut.

Menurut saya, musik reggae merupakan jenis musik yang slow, nyantai, enak didengar, dan menyenangkan. Banyak juga orang mengira, kalau musik reggae didominasi dengan daun yang mengakibatkan malapetaka, yaitu ganja (marijuana) dan rambut yang khas yaitu gimbal. Memang istilah tersebut benar, tapi tidak semua musisi reggae yang katakanlah pemakai ganja. Banyak juga musisi reggae yang menggunakan daun ganja dan ramgut gimbal itu hanyalah simbol dari musik reggae tersebut. Biasanya tidak berupa daun ganja sungguhan, melainkan hanyalah gambar atau sejenisnya. Dari sinilah letak orang menilai negati tentang musik reggae. Dan sebagian besar orang mengira, semua orang pecinta reggae adalah pemakai ganja. Jadi musik reggae kurang banyak diminati oleh orang-orang.

One more time, Reggae lovers not always use marijuana and not always have dreadlock rasta,bcoz dreadlock people not always reggae’s Di Indonesia, banyak juga musisi reggaenya, ada Steven&coconuttreez, Tony Q Rastafara, Ras M, Souljah, Imanest, dan masih banyak musisi reggae lokal. Dari sinilah mungkin musik reggae akan mulai berkembang di Indonesia.

Salam damai selalu, cuahhhh ruastaffarraaaaaeeeee

Terhambatnya Pembangunan Di Indonesia

Terhambatnya Pembangunan di Indonesia

Indonesia merupakan negara agraris, yang kaya akan sumber daya alam dan sumber daya manusianya. Sebagai misal di bidang pertanian. Pertanian di Indonesia dari dahulu sampai sekarang sangat maju, hal ini karena tanah di negara Indonesia yang subur. Tetapi dibalik itu semua, negara Indonesia juga banyak timbul masalah-masalah di bidang pembangunan. Yang mungkin disebabkan oleh buruknya politik, ekonomi, sosial dan budaya.

Pada masa sekarang ini, perkembangan zaman dan tekhnologi semakin maju. Banyak alat-alat yang modern dan bagus. Tapi bersamaan dengan ini, mengapa masih banyak orang –orang yang miskin? Tentu saja hal itu membuat dan menjadikan tanda tanya bagi semua orang. Seharusnya di zaman dan tekhnologi yang maju, kehidupan manusia juga lebih baik. Tapi semua itu hanya mimpi semata, mungkin bagi orang-orang yang merasa dirinya kaya tidak akan pernah tahu bagaimana sakitnya hidup sengsara. Saat ini, negara Indonesia telah mengalami guncangan-guncangan karena masalah-masalah yang terjadi. Pembangunan di Indonesia kini terhambat oleh adanya penyimpangan-penyimpangan bidang politik dalam sistem pemerintahan. Kita bisa lihat kenyataan sekarang, bahwa banyak para pegawai pemerintah yang katakanlah mementingkan kepentingan individual. Maksudnya banyak pegawai pemerintah memanfaatkan jabatan sebagai alat mencari kekayaan yang banyak, seperti KKN. Di Indonesia KKN merupakan masalah yang besar dan sulit untuk diberantas. Sebab kurangnya kesadaran individu, orang lain dan terhadap pemerintahan.

Kemiskinan dan pengangguran
busung2
Kita bisa melihat, betapa banyaknya kemiskinan dinegara ini, semua terjadi karena :

1. Tidak adanya keinginan untuk bekerja keras. Semua keinginan tidak akan bisa dicapai apabila kita tidak mau bekerja keras. Ini mungkin karena kurangnya kesadaran diri dan tidak mempunyai semangat untuk bekerja.

2. Sulitnya mencari pekerjaan. Dengan keadaan ekonomi sekarang yang katakanlah telah dilanda krisis ekonomi yang berkepanjangan, banyak rakyat kecil yang mengeluh sedih, Sebab sulit mendapatkan kerja. Selain itu pengangguran juga bertambah.

3. Keadaan ekonomi. Ketidakstabilan kondisi ekonomi mengakibatkan masalah bagi bangsa Indonesia. Khususnya rakyat kecil, karena dengan kondisi ekonomi tersebut, mengakibatkan harga-harga menjadi naik dan kebutuhan hidup sulit untuk dipenuhi, harga BBM naik, sehingga secara otomatis harga-harga sembako dan kebutuhan ekonomi lainnya ikut naik, dan kurangnya pendidikan yang menjadikan orang sulit menggapai cita-cita.

Kemiskinan di negara ini sulit untuk diberantas, karena tiap tahun angka kemiskinan tidak berkurang, melainkan malah bertambah. Semua orang tahu,kemiskinan merupakan masalah yang tidak asing lagi. Jadi, kemiskinan yang melanda bangsa kita ini menurut saya tidak bisa diberantas, tidak akan menghasilkan sesuatu yang sempurna. Kemiskinan telah berdampak negatif bagi bangsa Indonesia, sebab kemiskinan telah mengakibatkan pembangunan Indonesia juga terhambat, jadi kemajuan bangsa ini sulit untuk dijalankan.fakir-miskin

Banyaknya pengangguran juga memperlambat kemajuan bangsa ini. Bukti nyata pengangguran tersebut yaitu kita bisa lihat dijalanan, di bus-bus,dll. Disana masih banyak pengamen dan orang minta-minta, bahkan ada juga anak masih kecil sudah belajar sebagai pengemis. Hal tersebut mereka lakukan mungkin sulitnya mencukupi kebutuhan sehari-hari. Tapi ada juga hal tersebut dilakukan karena orang itu tidak mau bekerja keras dan mencari uang dengan mengemis hanya untuk melakukan hal-hal negatif yaitu seperti membeli minuman keras atau yang lainnya.

Di Indonesia pada saat ini muncul berita-berita tentang larangan merokok di tempat umum. Saya kira bisa setuju dan juga tidak, karena merokok adalah suatu hak asasi manusia. Memang benar merokok dapat merusak kesehatan, tapi pihak pelarang seharusnya tahu, bagaimana tanggapan orang yang sudah jadi perokok? Selain itu, banyak tanggapan warga yang kalau umpama merokok dilarang, pasti mereka bilang (pabriknya saja yang ditutup), Sekarang kita harus merenung dan melihat kedepan, umpama pabrik rokok ditutup, bagaimana nasib para buruh/pekerjanya? Selain itu mungkin pengangguran juga akan bertambah banyak. Padahal, negara Indonesia dari dulu sampai sekarang dalam mengatasi masalah kemiskinan dan pengangguran saja rasanya sulit, dan sekarang ditambah masalah tersebut. Saya kira negara Indonesia akan kewalahan dan merasa berat.

Kita bisa sadar, betapa bahagianya orang yang hidup tanpa kesengsaraan dan betapa senangnya apabila negara kita jauh dari masalah ekonomi yang menyebabkan rakyat menjadi tertekan kedalam jurang kehancuran, juga tidak adanya korupsi yang akan mengakibatkan rakyat terkena imbasnya.

Kita juga bisa melihat, disaat ini banyak orang yang hartanya melimpah, tapi kenapa masih banyak juga rakyat yang katakanlah untuk makan sekali dalam sehari saja rasanya sulit? Apakah semua ini karena keadaan ekonomi yang tidak stabil, atau tidak adanya kesadaran diri untuk bekerja keras? Jawabannya hanya ada pada diri kita masing-masing.
