Puisi Berjudul A Letter to Law

A Letter to Law
Karya : Evelyna Putri Athallah
The honourable law,
You are so special that everyone talks about  you all the time
Kids, teenagers, grownups
You come up as a topic that can be talked by anyone, no exception
Take over everyone’s mind easily
And in the very short time,
Let’s see if you could take over the world
I might not surprise for that
Because you took a baby step at first
And now ,look at you

The honourable law,
What are you?
A justice’s enforcer?
A justice’s destroyer?
A combination of both of them?
In a very short time, you can perfect the imperfections
Impose the innocent people as well
You are assertive, nice, and cruel at the same time

The honourable law,
Teacher said you were made on purpose of discipline
Is that really is the only function you have?
In fact, it isn’t
People switch your function for bad things
Without knowing that you are there for those criminals
Please stop them somehow

The honourable law,
Here’s a friendly reminder
The law enforcers are your best friends
But you should really know that some of them are not loyal enough
They use you for advantages
Treasure, position, or even pleasure
I wish you know which one of them

The honourable law,
I keep saying ‘you’
As if  the law is a human
But this really is dedicated to law
Eventhough I know that law will never receive this
