the man still dreaming

 

Renaissance man

Live a time of the “Great Pretender”

Walking on the motions

Spewing words with borrowed wisdom

The problems arise

He will stay cool about it

Even his promises he pretends

Leaving a bad taste for PH supporters

Now in power and control

He should at least try to find ways

Solving the issues on his promises

He should forget about curry favors from his race

They will laugh at him

He should rank up his resolves

Enough of pandering to his race

Now it is for the others to get a piece

Renaissance man

He seems walking on like a “Great Pretender”

He should resolve to make his promises alive

Otherwise he can kiss himself goodbye

the house nobody stays

 

The old house

Stand alone

Nobody goes there anymore

All have flown away

Thinking of the old house

The elements take control

Eating up parts of its structures

Yet it still stands alone

Years ago treated for termites

The pest controller said it was the neighbors

Still the old house weathers the elements

It reminds us of memories of the past

The old house

It reminds me of my root

I shouldn't forget how it was

The memories stay in my mind

the taking in many ways

 

The 2R game

Nothing seems to forget

The taking in many ways

Giving back isn't in the list

Some institutions run by it

It losses in mismanagement

Causing the taxpayers to foot the bill

Let the institutions to survive

Yet the 2R game not falters

The race still runs as if nothing happens

The taking in many ways

The losses nobody is accountable

The government of the day

The ministers don't say much on it

All because of cronies appointed to manage?

The losses just a normal daily routine

the Iron Butterfly

 

The Iron Butterfly

Once she was the in-news

As the years went by

She couldn't make the cut

She rides on her family name

She is in the news but nothing come out of it

When she contested by the deputy president

She went down the wrong way in public perception

The Iron Butterfly

The grapevine says she wanted to resign

The post she won but pressures mount

The party leaders say it isn't true

The Iron Butterfly

Maybe she feels rusted on her wings

She hasn't contributed much to the nation

But many believe she could have

the burning skin

 

The hot weather

The burning skin

Don't stay too long

Outdoors in the day

The sun rays

Shooting out without mercy

We can stand a few minutes

The heat of burning skin

Even the leaves will burn

It turns brown and withers

Even in Malacca

The water dams dry up 30%

The worrying states

The annual headaches return

Now harvest the rain water

If there is rainfall in some days

The hot weather

Don't stay too long outdoors

stand on your own

 

Stand on your own

Fight your adversary

See how you stand

In pursuing interests and growth

You have to learn your strength

In seeking knowledge and interests

You can't depend on others for assistance

You have to grow your inner glow

Stand on your own

You may feel intimidated

Watching the scenes in your eyes

Especially first walk in the economic world

Yet you still have to go

Bite the bullet the growth will come

You need to find your worth

Watching the scenes in your eyes

when darkness closes in

 

When darkness closes in

There is nothing much anyone could do

Enough warnings in our lives

If only we take a break

We don't listen

We don't heed advice

We think it is our time

To shine in our lives

The other countries

Living with conflict of wars

Because the aging leaders don't see

They don't have the strength of mental power

They go for the short cut

Fighting and declaring wars

Across borders and nations

They don't see the river of red

When darkness closes in

It will too late to cry

We don't heed advice

We think it is our time

the children don't abuse them

 

The children the next generation leaders

They will be next to hold and manage the country

The parents should be proud and be with joy

They manage to produce children of tomorrow

But there is a sad case in Taiping

A young girl was abused by family members

The police weren't amused by it all

They detained 4 family members for investigation

If any couple can't handle children in the future

Do not plan just because you want to be like god-like

It is better to live alone as a couple watching sunsets

Then having children to abuse with personal frustration

When children are born

They have their own lives

Laws will protect the children

No parents should try to abuse them

the frogs in the well

 

The frogs in the well

Croaking all the promises

It is nothing to show in the end

Only the sound of echo

The leaders of this caliber

They can promise to the moon

When come to deliver it

It is just empty promise

How many of us feel it?

The empty promises in our lives

Believing the politicians will deliver

When they get voted into power

The NGOs and civil societies

They will tell us of the bad politicians

But these are the ones in the news

The flag bearers for the major political parties

like an artist changes at will

 

Choosing between 2 devils

Outcome will still face familiar

The bad intention will show

The losses will grow

There will be no good cheers

The outcome will manifest on the wrong choice

Choosing the less risk devil in our eyes

The tasks will be hollow; the payment will be high

It is better to pick

A party which has upright leaders

They are new willing to fight for a cause

Uphold justice fight for the common goals

Though in politics

It is difficult to determine

The politicians have many faces

Like an artist changes it at will

when love turns bad

 

Many die

When love turns bad

They can't cope it

The loss of balance in their mind

Many should believe

There are many men and women

Losing one affair it doesn't say is the end

Cope with it there is always another round

Tomorrow hasn't turned away

Loss today cry for a while

It is normal to lose

Study failure learn to carry on

Time is the healer

Mind is the escapade

When love is gone

Someone new will come along
