A
few days ago I drew this fan art drawing. With Luffy holding 2 flags
facing 3 big characters which represent greed (pig), corruption (rat)
and play (clown). Big or giant shapes are as powerful, animals and
clowns as their behavior and deeds - being greedy, corrupt and playing
with people's lives. Their ears are covered because they don't want to
hear and tend to ignore others. and Luffy as a symbol of hope everyone
is wishing to have although it is nearly impossible.
It
was meant for criticism, expression and agony of what is currently
happening in one big nation close to my heart and mind. Instead of
taking care of its citizens and making them live in peace, a bunch of
people with power choose to shake their lives badly to the core. Fiction
is mostly a reflection of reality and a true hero is needed to turn it
upside down for good. However, sadly, in real life it's not that easy
and simple with a fairy happy ending. Disclaimer: This drawing is Not
having even the slightest intention to do something as to fight or
provoke people but to raise awareness and hope that those who have the
power will come to their senses and have a heart to do something better
for the sake of this country.
80
years of independence is not a short amount of time to reflect, learn,
revise, rebuild this country for the better. This is a wealthy and super
rich country with natural resources and abundant young generations to
work together with good leaders. If only they can work this out. Is it a
dream? For now, it seems so. A far cry for a bright future and
prosperous nation in the hands of shallow minded people who only think
of their bellies and families. I pray I can wake up from this nightmare
soon.
As
the former 1st president Soekarno once said: My fight was easier
because it was to expel the colonizers, but your fight will be more
difficult because it is against your own people.
