you must believe in yourself

When you want to learn a trade or vocation

You have to put your soul and energy into it

You shouldn't go changing every time

When you find the going is hard to climb

The obstacles are ways to make you run

It will tell whether you have the stomach for it

You can feel the hunger rising into your body

Will you fight it on believing you can do?

It takes years to hone a skill

It takes years to learn a trade

There is no short cut to get there

There is no failure unless you say so

The opportunities everywhere

The endless flow of sights and sounds

It is only needed your time to get it

The determination to pursue dreams

don't take your life

Don't go take your life

Why must you want to go so early?

Is life so unbearable to live?

Work pressures and examination failures

It is part of living

Everyone has to go through with it

Once you pass the road

There will be more on the horizon

These are the small sacrifices

It is to build your character and resilence

Once you mastered the foundation

The life's journey will be smooth

So don't go taking your life

Learn the struggles of Job

You will learn how to live

Life is precious don't waste it for nothing

the old buildings

The old buildings in Ipoh old town

The tourists attraction to see a bygone era

The owners of these buildings

Some take a long time to renovate

Some become an eyesore

The poor conditioned of the buildings

With cracks and unkempt state

The owners hardly notice?

The city hall can't do much

The mayor can only advice

The work the owners have to do

As the time fly the old buildings die

Some wait for tragedy to happen

Falling concrete walls or window panes

The signs are there for all to see

The old buildings in Ipoh old town

merdeka

The Merdeka Season

It's the time of the year

The remembering of our nation's sacrifices

The honouring of our forefathers of independence

The people of those times writing our history

The nation of one people and their many tastes

It will be our 56 years as a nation

Gaining popularity in the world stage

Mostly on the wrong reasons of our leaders behaviour

Running against the grain of common dignity

The nation of people just can't accept it

As a nation we are proud of it

The various races and religions will sing together

The songs of unity for the glow of the nation

We aren't down yet though much has to work on

The political divide branding the people

As the nation matures to be wiser

The elected leaders should have learned

It will be a long while before we see of changes

The nation waits for the time of new curtains

The long of march of our independence in flow

enforcement weak

Watch the construction workers

The experience men on work

There is no supervision

The men know what they do

Everything going on plan

The contractor doesn't come to supervise

Every segment the workers understand

What are needed to get it done

What I observe around

The contractor never provides mobile toilets

The workers have to build a temporary shade

Of zinc erected on the site

The enforcement officers

They hardly come to check on site

The provisions on the bylaws and regulations

There is no movement from the council

This is the scene

I suppose in most construction sites

The enforcement is always weak

Until the public complaint

the smell of flesh

The smell of flesh

The beauty on a wholesome body

The smile of an enchanting woman

The highest officials will fall

Men can't escape it

It is programmed in their minds

When they watch beautiful women

The minds will go fox hunting

Some will bribe or threat

Using the political office for personal gratifications

The beauty walks on the parade

The smell of scented sheets

It is nothing new

In the political power game

It happens in history

It happens in ancient times

The beautiful women

The fall of mighty powerful men

The body shapes the pretty smile

It's back to basic instincts

the illegals

The illegals

How they come here?

The police and immigration

Is there any answer?

There are millions here

Some officials aren't performing

Letting the illegals walk in so easily

The enforcement is weak

Maybe money make the wave

Closing one eye let the illegals arrive

The agents who are in this business

Harvesting the lot on misery of others

The flash out operations

It must be carried out constantly

It can't be as a need basis

It will never solve the illegals coming here

Apart from border patrols

Covering the landing points

The Sulu incursions told us our porous security

It's time the police and immigration step up operations

sleep nourish the soul

Sleep to nourish the soul

The hard day work of the day

It's time the body takes a rest

It is suppose to go that way

In life pursuit of many things

Sleep become hard to come by for many

The unfinished work to be done

The negatives flow running into the mind

So sleep become a treasured commodity

The share suppose to go up every time

When the time has come to fall to sleep

Many count the sleeping sheep

When age has come

Sleep will become less

The clock will realign its pattern

It's time to watch the world

the bell tolls for whom?

The endless possibilities for one Malaysia

The laughing stock the world look at us

We have leaders with creative licence to boost

The tourism industry needs it to flourish

The endless possibilities to tap dance

Around the wealth the country's profits

The bill of taxes will come to the rescue

The leakages roam without accountability

The handouts are just peanuts

Now the people will come to realize

The whopping new tax will come

Swipe away your smile on your face

With it the host of other increase costs will arrive

The people will have to pay complaining all the way

Now the people realize they voted the wrong party

The trial of the next 5 years have begun

1Malaysia endless possibilities

The Bee Anne leaders should spend time

Listening to the woes of the people

The economy, the crimes, the religion, the races

patriotism should come naturally

Patriotism shouldn't come by law

Neither should force or cohesion flow

It is the natural obligation for each person

What it is that patriotism brought?

Forcing people to fly national flags

It doesn't instil the patriotic feeling

It brings the downward spiral

It never brings the natural call of patriotism

Humans do not like pressured into anything

They enjoy their own good intentions in many

Let the people decide to fly the national flags

Many may want to fly it in their minds

Those who do trade and business

The agencies buildings, hawkers and companies

These groups must fly the national flags

These should be obligated on their buildings or stalls

For the rest of the people

Let them decide to fly the national flags

Forcing it down will not work

Patriotism to each his own way of looking at it

deficits haunting bee anne

The Bee Anne government rules

The country's finances in doubts

The over spending like no tomorrow

Now the deficits haunting its leaders

There is no transparency

There is no accountability

There are many leakages

Even the culprits aren't punished

This is the Bee Ann way

Enriching cronies with various projects

Running costs always over shoot

There is no penalty but giving leeways

The mega projects or the super projects

The public funding will come into it

Hiding many under OSA the public has no clues

What is like in monetary value?

Now the GST sales tax will come

The Bee Anne government wants to find funding

Taxing is always the easy way out of financial woes

The country's wealth draining out her bank

the hanging rope

The 5 years old girl died

The mother just abused her child

It isn't the way to treat her baby

Now she suffers for her crime

The hanging rope waiting

For a woman charged with murder

There is no reason to escape the gallow

Once a helpless child died

If one can't handle a child

It is better not producing one

It puts on pressures to one's life

Why waste it?

Now she is in police custody

The trial will begin...

What future will she face?

A stupid move nobody wins!

the flesh trade

Prostitution and gigolos

A time for the sex hungry person

A short interlude of pleasures

In private homes or hotel rooms

Some businessmen use them

To get a quick contract of a business

The knowing look and gestures

This is business nothing personal

Once I overheard

A pimp told his woman

“30 minutes I will come around”

The woman walked up to the hotel

In major hotels

There will be business

Though not in the open

It is through contacts

Prostitutes and gigolos

There will be business

The way of lonely lives

The frustrated husbands and wives

the stories of midnight

The cheap thrills

The open dark night air

The lovers would go

The crushing times

Listen to the workers

Sweeping grounds at the Botanic Garden

Once living in Penang Island

Of the rubber sheaths throwing around

The lovers had no shame

Once the act was done

The evidence to tell

The sin of the night

The stories of midnight

The enforcement officers gone underground

Catching the wayward lovers

Of a night of passion with the wind

teach them to live in society

The Indian gangs

Now they are majority

The police say about 71%

The loose cannons of society

It is better to teach these criminals

Some of them have families and parents

They haven't progressed to the hardcore

Tell them the evil ways of crimes

There is still hope for the Indian gangs

The way of life hasn't shout them out

The authority should find ways to help them

Rounding them up isn't solving the problem

When fear runs to the wall

The fight back will come

There is nothing to be afraid

They are pinned down

Show them the way out

The olive branch for a trade

Teach them to fish

Crimes will be gone

Fight fire with fire

There will be the losers and winners

In the end revenge will rear its head

The crimes scene will not go away

love has no border

Love has no border

It has to be or nothing

The good flow in humans

It makes the stories

A woman from Malaysia

She married a man who can't move

She says she loves him

So she flew to China got married

Some may say

Can't she pick a better man?

Sometimes it isn't about sex

It is about sharing of likes and tastes

This is a story

The beginning of their lives

The end story will come

The test of love without borders

the echo of fear

The echo of fear

It never goes away

Every walk day or night

The whisper of the wind

The echo of fear

Right on the door step

Once it is forgotten

The bad will materialise

The safety measures gone

The watchful eyes forget

The echo of words

Many tend to put away

In the false hope of security

Gated communities flourished

Once it happens the minds wonder

Then echo of fear

Walk with ears and eyes

Be alert and stay on defensive mode

Do not show the worrying face

The whispering words keep you save

negara-ku in cinemas?

Stand up for Negara-ku in cinemas?

People go to cinema to enjoy film shows

For once they don't want to listen politics

They want to entertain without interference

In the early 60s and 70s it was done

It wasn't a popular amongst the moviegoers

Not many wanted to stand up and wait

What's the point in doing it?

Eventually it was withdrawn

Now a minister wants it to return

He better interviews the older generations

He may get an ear full of criticisms

Negara-ku should be played on special occasions

It shouldn't be used for commercial purposes

Instead of bringing the people closer together

It may backfire on the ruling government

you work for your happiness

Whatever you do

You don't wait for praises

It is what you wanted in your life

You have to take it all

Some may give you

The 2 cents worth of their minds

As if everyone has to fall in line

In whatever they want to do

Apart from obeying the laws

You are at liberty to do what you can

Believe in your self ability

Everyone has it

Whatever you do

There are critics around

They will put their words

They don't care how you feel

You work for your happiness

This is your mission to get it done

Critics can shout until the sky turns dark

You don't have to follow

the police operation

The hardcore gangsters on the run

The police coming for them

Into the underground hide-out

They will stay for a while

This is the knee jerk reaction

The police should do it a few times a year

After the spate of shooting in the country

Now the police flex muscles

Nobody will say it isn't good

It is high time the men in blue patrol

Let the criminals and gangsters run

There is no place for them to hide

As the usual way

Only for a while until the next major crime

The men in blue will fall back on their rounds

The rats will run out while the cats are gone

the bird watchers

The past time of many years

The bird watchers and their birds

In cages hanging around the shade

Surrounded by trees the cooling effect

With a former mining pool nearby

The one way small road to the shade

These bird watchers will congregate

Talking about the many type of birds

Now the housing project came

The road will be made a two way traffic

The developer had intended to make the road

Leading to his housing project

Now the bird watchers never congregate

The time has come to change

The years of their meeting

It has finally come to an end

money any which way

Some say

Money make us confident

In our daily lives pursuit

Of the tangible ones

Money has power

In the pockets to rule

The endless stream of delightful pursuits

Where money can override

Some say

That's the truth

Without money

Where will be our place?

Money in soldiers' lives

It makes no difference

On the war zones they know

When will the bullets get them?

Some say

Money will kill

In our lives

If we forget the evil curse

planting crimes

The gangsters spread wings

Soaring high to catch the preys

The school children telling them stories

Be like big brothers standing up for them

The poor students in the schools

The abused children studying there

The rich kids who want to taste the power

These are the groups the gangsters will rope in

The school children are easily influence

In their lives they think it is a big deal

The act of indiscipline and defiance

Who dare do and whom will fall?

The police are aware

Observing the threats to schools

Yet the police never want to go around

Telling the children keep away from crimes

The police should do a monthly round

Going to schools to tell them about crimes

It may sound like a record keep on playing

It is better than the future of criminals

keeping secrets

Keeping secrets

It burns up your brain space

The time can be used to a better life

Now you can't keeping it a tight lid

You want to share

Maybe to let somebody knows about it

You want to put it away

It takes down your way of life

You think you can

The years fall take its toll

The space of the brain

You want to put it to rest

Keeping secrets

You have to put a face

The good person who can be trusted

While others galloping free

don't forget to plan

The life stories

Watch the old people on the street

Look what they have to go everyday

The hardship they face

When they were in their youth

They forgot to plan for their old age

They thought they would stay young

The life mystery knocked them down

Now the weathered faces

The old age crawl their skin

The eyes will see the miss chances

Of a time they forget to plan

The life stories

The young adults should learn

Don't wait until it is too late

Like them a time has lost

flying the national flag

Flying the national flag

Bee Anne wants to pass a law

Compelling the people to do so

Is that the right direction?

It's the action that counts

Even one flies the national flag

What will he think?

Will he think of country?

It's what in our minds

The love for the nation

The soil we will return

The know we are one

Maybe it is to profit the cronies

Every one has to buy the national flag

Just imagine the hundreds of millions coming in

In the end what will it be?

now who killed atlantuya?

borrowed malaysiakini.com







Now who killed Atlantuya?

This is the hot question running in the country

For a woman who had no immigration record

For a woman who was murdered into pieces

The two former police officers are freed

Six years in prison now walked free

The culprit has not been caught

The main players have to be called

In the trial the missing players

Both parties refused to call

Now the perception finally came

It was just a stage show wasn't it?

The story never ends

The civil suit will commence

Atlantuya never rested in peace

The pieces of body blown away by C4

of a time the souls are free

The dead of night

The silence walk the road

The night breezes whirring

Of a time the souls are free

The black dogs watch

The eyes glow nothing to see

It's the time the souls are free

Once a year on a particular month

The living of a faith

The roadside praying of candles and joss sticks

Offering food and chines wine

The black dogs wait

The gold and silver papers offering

Burning into ashes believing of the bounties

In the Hades world for getting good scores

Of a time the souls are free

the graduates flow

The graduates flow

Into the jobs market

The eyes to the future

It has to start with a job

The language of commerce

Many fail to grasp it

In the jobs market

The graduates learn the hard way

When the graduates marketability is suspect

The jobs will not land on their laps

They have to relearn a tool

By right they should master it in secondary schools

The relearning process

It takes them backwards for a while

Never feel of losing out

Once you get it the music flow

the door still closes

100 days to his new term

He is silent on every front

The country has no clear movement

The shadows move in different directions

The debts have not addressed

The economy has no clear cut indications

The negative on the country's rating

There is trouble in the horizon

The currency value drops to 8%

It means we will face the lost of our values

In terms of importing goods and services

The country it seems never move the right direction

He sits in office

Worrying about his position

The party election will smell the outcome

The price to pay the circle returns

The prime minister worrying mind

He dares not open his door to shout

He can't speak his intentions

He's stuck with his party election

The country will can't go

He sits on his throne

Worrying about his position

Forgetting he has a job to do

atlantuya never ends

Atlantuya

The accused got free

The Court of Appeal released

Now who is the killer?

The years gone

The body turned into dust

The memories of you

Brutally murdered or killed in our soil

The immigration had no record

Of you in the country

But you had your hotel stayed

The trial never adduced the case

Now the former police officers

They will walk out free today

Atlantuya's shadow will linger on

The murderer is still out there

Most of us knew

It was a shadow play

The perception on the public

We hardly seen the accused faces
