Up to the Mountain Top
Hi my name is Tatiana
And my name Ani Sari Wahyuni
We have many common hobbies
Travelling, drawing, culinary, and mountain climbing
This story is about one of our lovely trips to Mount Syawal
We invite you to join our journey
We arrived at the foot of the mountain in a pick-up car
And the nice driver and he only asked us to pay Rp. 2500 ($0.20) to get there
We rested at the foot, staying a while talking and drinking coffee
After we enjoyed the view of the mountain from there
We set up a tent, and stayed for the night
We set a bonfire, swam in the clean river
And didn't forget to take narcisstic selfies!
A little after 3pm, the driver came to pick us up
We met a lot of other passengers along the way
We entered the city and was welcomed by the pollution of election placards and spam messages from social media apps
- All about the Presidential Elections
But as for talking about this election
We, as young people, also want to speak up
Can I compare the Presidential Elections with our experience with the driver from before?
Yes, yes, if the vehicle is a metaphor for the elections and the driver for the leader
And why do we need to go to the mountain? Because all leaders, they want people to praise them
The truth is that they all have to work for us
Feeling trapped in a social media war on the elections is like getting trapped in a garbage bin
At first, you smell the stench, but after a while you get used to it
And the worst thing is that you'll find it normal
Maybe I felt annoyed by all this but I now think I was wrong
We young people shouldn't be apathetic
We should dig into the backgrounds of these candidates, their families ties, their track record, and their aims and principles
And only after that, can we decide
So even if we abstained from voting, we have a clear opinion
Because youth should be critical and not just following blindly
For me, there will be no perfect candidate. But whoever wins this should be given
a space to do their best
Yes, like I told you
The election is just a vehicle and the leader like the driver
who can send all of the citizens to their desired destination
But how can this driver send people if they don't know the address?
What address?
The address of welfare, justice, and prosperity
Yes, so a leader should have roots and wings
So that's all for our story
Bye!
The End
