Jakarta is in turmoil
mass organisations in collapse
each report we hear
another activist arrested
telephones tapped
newspapers curtailed
the people nervous, stifled
secretly they seek information
from the foreign newspapers and electronic media
“Don’t believe the foreign media”
The rulers shout every day
their nationalism identical with the Nazis.
Wiji Thukul
August, 1996.
