Responsibly Irresponsible
A poem I wrote to irresponsibly criticise a responsible government

    You talk of justice
        in your unfairness

    you talk of order
        in your awareness

    you forced us to believe
        in your imperialist vision

    you left us to grieve
        in your materialist ambition

    your democracy
        is hypocrisy

    your laws are flaws
        impressing the greedy
        oppressing the needy

    just let it be known
        cos I'll never be alone

                Wira Budiman
                Pre Law U.M. '97
