The Scents of Betrayal in this City -Â Tri Buhi Sastrio
I smell the scents of betrayal in this city.
When I search the sources, I know that
All of them are traitors!
The government officials betray the people,
The people betray the spirits,
And the spirits slandering and yelling curses. Â Â
I smell the scents of betrayal in this city.
When I observe them thoroughly
Many people betray, most of them are traitors!
But the more accurate conclusion
Ugh ... that the worst traitors are the G-officials!
   Â
They forget that in occupying the posts
The golden rules taught thousand years ago
Should be implied, should be tightened,
and should be the fibers inside them
If not, yeah ... just as it is already said before
All of them become traitors!
All of them are traitors! Â Â Â
The Great Prophet, Confucius, had answered
When he was asked about what he would do
in the first time if he had to hold a post
"Of course I will straight the language!"
that was the answer!
The student who asked was astonished
Why language was the answer!
   Â
If the language does not straight,
the Great Prophet answered,
Then what it is said is not what it is meant.
If what it is said is not what it is meant
Then what it shall be done -- will not be done.
If what it shall be done -- will not be done
Then morality and art will slip off.
If morality and art slip off,
The justice will go astray.
If the justice goes astray
People will be confused and hesitate.
If the people are confused and hesitate
How easy to incite them to do something wrong
So it is very important that there is
no despotism in using a language.
So all G-officials cannot at their will
Violating what they have already said.
This is the most important thing above all
Has to be done by all G-officials.
But I still smell the scents of betrayal in this city.

In the air, a scent so sweet
Betrayal's stench, a deceitful treat

As trust is broken, a song

The sting of betrayal, a burn so bright
Leaves a memory, a pain so tight
