we make our destiny


The clear morning
The sky smiles to the land
It is the polling day
The time for change has arrived

The winners and losers
The battles fought for 13 days
Hatching plots and slogans
Never wanted to say die

Today is the boiling point
The ballot papers and pencils in place
Clear plastic boxes sit silently
Officers and police gathered around
Polling agents rocking on the chairs

Vans and cars with BN posters
Ferrying voters to the polling stations
Money spins in the election
This is a good mark for easy cruises

I see many women
Middle aged women and old
They came with free transport
BN workers telling them where to go or vote

I sit in my car
Looking at the scenes
Will the change come today?
I wish silently it should
Enough of the blatant lies and deceptions
It makes no difference
About the sleeping beauty pleads yesterday
All about race……he missed his point totally

In the late afternoon it rains
By 4.38 pm it becomes heavy
The angels cry……telling it has to change
I pray it has to happen
For Malaysia and the years forward

Today we will know
Where we stand in our lives
Pocket full of holes or bright light
We make our destiny………..
