Changes in the traditional way of building are only permitted if they are an improvement. Otherwise stay with what is traditional, for truth, even if it be hundreds of years old has a stronger inner bond with us than the lie that walks by our side.

First, it doesn't surprise me that traditional music has experienced a kind of exhaustion in the 20th century - not forgetting that many musicians started to look outside the traditional structures of tonality.

I have to say that the traditional role is kind of a myth. I think the traditional Mexican woman is a fierce woman.

The traditional
A change of environment
Is the traditional fallacy
That the desperate people
And the doomed lovers
Pin their hopes on.
A change of time too is awaited.
Will the result be traditional?

Imagination gallops; judgment merely walks.
PRINCE of my Heart
Most annoying around dining table
Lovely mom singing a same song
When, when, when
Worrisome miss traditional wedding
After a long stay in hospital bed
Preferred a prince of my heart
Modern wedding plan in mind
But mom dreaming Sumatra prince
Traditional culture of ancestor
Insomnia in dilemma
Dying mom nor prince
Would never be wounded
What should I do
Humming in hospital bed
Wish to inaugurated an Ulos scarf
Unique traditional wedding
And sing Borhat ma Dainang @
Before going to heaven
Dark cloud, flying to Sumatra island
To bury her in ancestor's land
My cheeks never stop wet
Her dream never come true
But God answered our prayers
No more pain, she RIP
Blessed me God, blessed me mom
With a prince of my heart
@ Good bye my dear daughter

Since the dawn of time, traditional marriage - the union between one man and one woman - has been the building block of civilization, and at no point in our nation's history has that foundation been under more severe attack than now.

Better a lie that heals than a truth that wounds.
An Assurance When The Rain Seems Not To Stop
in the coldness of this
old and traditional bond
like a chain of steel in the
coldest day of November
we are mature enough
to disregard what repels us
we do not clash about
these corrosive walls
head-on we shall die our
heads like broken balls
our hearts giving in to the
cancer of indifference
we are in this rain and
we stay we know that like
all seasons nothing stays that
long drought or flood
there is that moment of
subsidy, that subservience
of least resistance that
patience of insistence
takes time but it will
always come, surely
