2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake

Berita Kepada Kawan
by Ebiet G. Ade

Perjalanan ini terasa sangat menyedihkan
Sayang, engkau tak duduk di sampingku kawan
Banyak cerita yang mestinya kau saksikan
Di tanah kering berbatuan
Tubuh ku terguncang di hempas batu jalanan
Hati tergetar menampak kering rerumputan
Perjalan ini pun seperti jadi saksi
Gembala kecil menangis sedih
Kawan coba dengar apa jawabnya
Ketika ia ku tanya "Mengapa?"
Bapak ibunya telah lama mati
Ditelan bencana tanah ini
Sesampainya di laut ku khabarkan semuanya
Kepada karang, kepada ombak, kepada matahari
Tetapi semua diam, tetapi semua bisu
Tinggal aku sendiri terpaku menatap langit
Barangkali di sana ada jawabnya
Mengapa di tanahku terjadi bencana
Mungkin Tuhan mulai bosan melihat tingkah kita
Yang selalu salah dan bangga dengan dosa-dosa
Atau alam mulai enggan bersahabat dengan kita
Coba kita bertanya pada rumput yang bergoyang

The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was a magnitude 9.0 undersea earthquake on December 26, 2004 which generated tsunamis that caused one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern history.

This rare type of earthquake known as a megathrust earthquake struck at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time) in the Indian Ocean off the western coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. It was the largest earthquake on Earth since the 9.2-magnitude Good Friday Earthquake of 1964, and tied for fourth largest since 1900.

The tsunamis devastated the shores of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and other countries with waves of up to 15 m in height. Even the east coast of Africa (especially Somalia) was hit, despite being located 4,500 km (2,800 mi) or more west of the epicentre.

On 26 Dec 2004, we,as humanbeing have to take our responsibility for making Nature angry. Maybe the nature remind us...for not always make a war, hurting nature, and also another, bomb everywhere, playing with the death, playing with innocent life, acting like a God who has a right to take somebody life.

Let's taking some break and realizing what we had done before.Nature give us a chance for help one another through this disaster. Nature was boring with all damages we had done,all of the racist thing that we done in the name of God. God make no differences between us.Australian,English,Indonesian, Malaysian,Chinese,Korean,Indian, etc.We all the same in God eyes. How bout if we appreciate what God has in His mind and not to make Him angry? Just make a peace inside our heart so there will be no jealous feeling among us.
