A Short Poem: Persiapan Ramadan 2023

kenaikan harga mendesak

as the sun sets over the bustling city
the streets come alive with a frenzied energy
people rushing to and fro
in search of sustenance for the soul

the markets are filled with a vibrant array
of fruits and vegetables, spices and grains
the aroma of food wafts through the air
a symphony of flavors beyond compare

yet amidst the hustle and bustle of the day
lies a somber truth that cannot be swayed
for the prices of food continue to rise
leaving many struggling to survive

families must make tough choices each day
between food on the table or bills to pay
a delicate balance they must maintain
as they navigate through life's uncertain terrain

so as we prepare for the month ahead
let us not forget those who are in need
and work together to create a world
where no one goes hungry, and all are heard
