THE FIREWORKS DISPLAY

The fire works display
In the sky at midnight strike
I saw it exactly
When the hour arrived

The hoarse voices
Of ‘Merdeka’ rung out loud
The sea of faces
Color blind in all races

Will it happen?
Speaking as one nation
Races thinking as one race
We are Malaysians

Yet we have politicians
Calling us ‘pendatang’
It affects every one
Ancestors from China, India and Indonesia
And the colonial people who stayed behind

Merdeka was in 1957
Now it should be national integration
So far we haven’t achieved it
The policy of rules and divides
Happening so often in the government policies

National integration
Thinking of one race Malaysian
It isn’t so difficult to intermix
It is the government intrusion
Every thing gone into the rain

Merdeka done in 1957
We must find ways to integrate as one nation
Treat everyone with respect and dignity
The ancestors helped to gain independence
Now we must speak as one country one race
Can’t we do it now?
