BREAK THE LAST
The
land was almost razed to the ground, some wreaths still seemed, had withered
and dried. A tombstone-shaped wooden cross stuck upright, bearing a name. On
the day of mourning has been declared a funeral, the day was filled with the
roar of grief, sobs, and expressions of sorrow of relatives left behind by
rolling around in the mud. Funeral for war chief, drummers drums and
traditional elders accompanied with ceremonial drums-at-the condolences. Now,
it looks deserted tomb, on the left and right seem too mound covered tin roof
supported on wooden poles with cross-shaped headstones. Underneath, the body without
the spirit dwelling that has been turned into bones. The body was not in the

located at the position excluded from settlement and housing, but in a special

as well as a motivation for people who are still alive. Thus, it is expected
that life would go better.
