Monyet-monyet itu

Mereka terengkak-engkak

Melempar kata

Melontar tohmahan

Meroyan tak tentu hala

Makin kita lihat

Makin kita menyampah

Mungkin ini azab dunia

Manusia yang berdosa

Mana pergi wakil kita?

Manifestonya yang dulu manis

Mana hilangnya kewarasan?

Mungkin disimpan dalam lutut

Mana wujudnya demokrasi

Melabun sudah ideologi itu

Melingkupkan dunia

THE WORLD is damned with a pandemic. No vaccine nor cure identified. A man. Call him Aswad the Jammer. A drunkard. An artist. He is immuned to the damned virus. He walks across the city seeing people dying everywhere. Those who are still alive became hooligans. Stealing. Killing. All sorts of madness. The Government collapsed. Authorities lost control. Religion forgotten. He walks the street in black leather jacket, black t-shirt, black Converse, black half-a-sack and a black guitar. His hair uncut but not too long. He couldn't figure out why he is immuned. Later Aswad found people who are also immuned to the virus. After so much thought, him, and those with the same fate as him, share one thing in common, that could be the explanation for why they are immuned. That one thing they all have in common is clove cigarettes. So, amongst his pack are various people who had a long history of smoking loads of Sampoerna, Gudang Garam and the like. They set themselves to a mission to look for more cloves, and they ended in the ruined city of Jakarta, where he met his namesis, the Gangster Lord, Pak Darsono, who controls the harvesting of cloves. Darsono holds the currency far valuable than money or gold. He controls Jakarta. Soon he may control the World for where else can you find cloves, if not in Indonesia. Aswad and his Black Squad soon find themselves in action in their quest to acquire cloves. And, the saga begins ........

Fear Not the Fate

But what you paint on the canvas

... for people to see, 

... is the opposite of it

Fear without courage

... would only mean

... that God may be imperfect

So, embracing that juxtaposition

As the driving force

... is the act of proving

... that God is perfect

We have to go through life as it is

Not hide under the veil of fear

Just assume that you need to stake

The heart of the vampire

Before its fangs

... reach your pink juicy neck
