The
very first step to control your world and life is control your culture. It
absolutely helps in creating a better future. Believe me, a man’s ability truly
strengthened by culture. Okay, I belong to a developing or maybe even it’s a poor
country, but rich in culture and nature diversity.
For instance, one of the art of my
region, Riau province, Indonesia. It is about spontaneously making poem of four
lines. We call it, limerick or flash poetry. When I was a child, in elementary
school, my teacher, father, mother, neighbor, along invited me to say something
by limerick. When we were going to swim in the river together, it is possible
someone says this:
There are a deer and bear
Running to the border
Who is the first to arrive there
He’s
the winner
We laughed together. I never thought
about war, although it several years happened in my country. As known,
Indonesia was colonized by some countries. Until today, where ever I go. I
always remember what I did several years ago, with my family and friends.
Limerick helps me to creatively solve my problems. It is likely a proverb says.
“You can go wherever you want, but you cannot escape yourself.” It really
shapes my mind. As a result, I can make decision faster and view something by
another side. It also always
happens to boy or girl.
Now, I am 21 years old. Several years
living with its culture makes me feel that I am ready to do ‘something’ for my
country. It has truly shaped my life. I often
talk to my friends by using limerick. It makes many people laugh. So we are
happy. We share ideas each other. We increase our creativity.
I am proud of being Indonesian.
Diversely culture makes citizen think diversely and creatively. One region has
its own culture. Unique and diverse. I keep doing my best for my country,
Indonesia. I start motivate my classmates and junior. Okay all of my brothers
and sisters, Indonesia is really rich. We have a unique culture. Very potential
country.
Deep inside, limerick has made me increase my
self-esteem. It is just a small thing in life, but really matters. People
ignore it. But today, I am going to make a community, Limerick Club. Small, but
valuable in life. It is improving and keeping Indonesian culture, also shaping
the mental of people in it. Keep going, as I am doing now. This culture really
influences and bring us to a better future. Start keeping limerick in our daily
life. We love Indonesia.
