FAKE POEM
By : Agus R. Sarjono

Goodmorning sir, goodmorning madame said the students with a fake greeting. They studied fake history from fake textbooks. Having finished their studies they were dumbfounded at the mass of fake marks. Since their school grades weren’t good enough they went to their teachers houses to present them with envelope full of comments and fake respect. With fake smiles and making fake rejektions their teachers finally accepted the envelopes with the fake promise to change the fake marks for new fakeb marks. Many schooldays later they became fake economists, fake lawyers, fake farmers, fake engineers. Some of them becane fake teachers, scientists or artists. They plunged eagerly into the middle of fake development with fake economy as fake leaders. They witnessed the hectic fake trade with fake export and fake import which provided various goods of fake quality. And fake banks full anthusiasm offered fake bonuses and fake gifts, but at the same time with fake permits and fake letters secretly asked for loands from the national bank, run by fake high officials. The public did bussines with fake money supported by fake foreign exchange. Therefore the foreign currencies, stimulated by fake rates caused everybody to panic and end in a crisis which made the fake government crash into afake fate. And fake people cried out their fake joy and discussed fake ideas during fake seminars and talk shows welcomed loudly the start of a democracy fluttering and fake.
