ARE WE FREE OR SHACKLE AGAIN?


A few days to Merdeka
The low key programs
We hardly hear the calling
The celebrating of Independence Day

The first phrase had gone
The people tasted their freedom
A right to govern on their own
With elected representatives forming government

The years of laws and cronyism
Rules and divides on the people
Policies and benefits catering to a race
It is hard now to call Merdeka

The 51 years old of Merdeka
It is time to unite all races
Sharing the common destiny
No laws and benefits advantages to a race
It must be distributed fairly amongst the people

This is the Merdeka
I see ahead to the future
Malaysia for Malaysians
The economic cake must be shared
Standing tall amongst the world
We are one race in Malaysia
Sharing our colorful heritage and cultures
Tolerance on religious beliefs
Opening up doors to intermixing

Merdeka must free our minds
Of racial discords and economic division
Let us all share together
For the destiny of our nation
Belong to each and every one of us

Till then I have my own celebration
Thinking what she will be in years to come
It needs of hard work and tolerance
Before we can really call it independence
