get the priority

Amno leaders

The sight is narrow field

They want to compare

Other countries and or regions

The bag of taxes

The consumption tax is wide a field

The rich will smile

The rest will be hard hit

Amno leaders don't tell

The income disparity of other countries

These countries have achieved development status

We are so far backwards in income

The weak management and procedures

The leakages in the public procurements

Bee Anne government hasn't done to rectify it

Every year AG will sing the same record playing

Bee Anne leaders should stop the wastage

The leakages run into hundreds of millions

Stop pandering to the inflated civil servants

The majority doesn't do a better job

The bag of taxes

The soft blow of one off payment

The truth is why dished it out

It should be used for a better purpose

the elderly man

The elderly man

He cycles to old town

He used to order fried mee

At the nearby stall

One day he totally didn't come

He changed his diet or something else

He still cycles to old town

Feeling free all his time

For a while I hardly notice him

Yesterday I saw him in old town

He has slimmed down a lot

He looked haggard in his appearance

It reminds me of drastic slimming pills

No doubt it brings unwanted pounds away

The drastic action causing a person to look too old

The unhealthy sign on the face

It is better to slim down naturally

Proper exercise and proper food and fruits

Drink a lot of water every day

It will gradually brings down weight

the sexual engagement

A young boy and a girl

In lower secondary school

They were caught in the toilet

When a teacher heard so much noise

The sexual engagement

They thought they were free

Out of preying eyes...

The hormones charged responsibility faded

The young teenagers

They don't need poking books

The natural progression

It is time sex education introduced

Don't blame yellow cultures

It is a natural progression

Monkeys see monkeys do

Action behind windows and doors

the greed the fall for many

The greed the fall for many

It doesn't draw line of rich or poor

Once you forget the basic principles

You have to work hard for your money

Live in the honest way

The bounties will come one day

You may think you have waited for so long

You don't see the fruit of your labour

So you jump into the rich making schemes

You forget the basic rules of life

You think you can make it

Falling for the money making games

An Indian woman driver

She was conned of her saving

Borrowed monies from relatives

Now she can't pay back...

Dreaming of the good life

A house to stay for the rest of her days

Now she is in bad shape

Greed has strike its victim again

There is no end to greed

Once you are in it

The sorrow will come

The fall for many

nightmare on easy loan

The loan sharks

Will the police really act?

Many reports in the press

The borrowers and relatives

Feel the fear and pain

Of defaults and boomerang

It's a crying shame

The police take a slow pace

The police should launch an operation

Really hitting the loan sharks and its agents

There shouldn't be any compromise on it

The loan sharks must be totally wiped out

The loan sharks flourish

On the banks tight lending procedures

Too many documentations to fill

Too many questions to answer

The borrowers should understand

Banks have to protect its interests

When one's credit worthiness is questioned

One has to put forward one's worth of credit

No doubt loan sharks are easy

They don't ask many questions

Once you are lured into it

The biting teeth come a calling

The police can find them

It is advertised on public buildings

Set up a task force to tackle this issue

The loan sharks must be trapped put away

It has become an easy money machine for the underground crooks

The police must now before it becomes a public problem

kampung tengah was a memory

The young boys of the past

In the history of the village long in memory

The village boys playing in various physical activities

In the village open space

There were seasons for the activities

The boys would decide the duration

Kite flying, marbles playing, baseball games

Fighting fish, fighting spiders and killing lizards

The seasons came and gone so quickly

The village boys learned and exposed

The greed and fighting spirit...

Of the games played in the evening

To the tail end of the village

The young boys grew wealth became and issue

The structure of rich and poor came into focus

The friendship couldn't last the test of time

The gangs in the village

The young lads never joined

They saw the police detectives

They saw the gangs caught

The old people would say

“Don't join them

If you know what is good to you

Stay away from these gangs”

Developments came

The village disappeared

Kampung Tengah was a memory

Once it was the village in the town

what utusan wants?

The uneven roads

We see it all in our minds

What Utusan wants?

It wants to paint red eyes

Utusan never learns lessons

The company thinks it is owned by Umno

It has every right to stir up racial tones

Knowing it will not be reprimanded

Court cases, compensation and apology

Utusan keeps paying without a shame

The newspapers still prints racial division

What Utusan wants?

The company thinks

The country is of one race

Better wake up from the coconut shell

Before the hammer comes thrashing down

What Utusan wants?

It seems the law diverts its claw

Utusan seems immune to the law

Umno baru's paper spinning tale of shadows

the date of birthday

The date of birthday

You can't forget

It is the day you were born

The world you see today

You never knew

What tomorrow would bring

When growing up years

You thought life was easy

The years gone quickly

You made progress on your own

You made life looked good

The birthday moment to reflect

Live the time

Reflections on yesterday gone

Best wishes for the year ahead

The bounties and many sweet moments

the moon gate

The Moon Gate

Near the Botanical Garden

Once you lived in Penang

You would go up there

I used to run up

During my days of free

I never thought of anything else

It was a cool bright day

I could see others

Climbing up or running along

I remembered there was a stop and rest

It served free drinks and snacks

Sometimes I tracked down the hill slope

The long winding descent to the ground

I had to go zigzag along the tarred road

Nobody wanted to injure the kneecaps

It is a good climb and walk

In the camouflage of green leaves

You could feel good in it

The Nature feeling theenergy flow

a marriage can last if...

A marriage can last

With mutual respect and honour

Of the unwritten codes of a journey

There are many resting posts to recharge batteries

When one party doesn't take the role

The marriage will sink into a deep black hole

As the days run into months and then years

The signs have been there to see

There is no use pretending

The emotional turmoil will begin

The honey coated words will not last

The ants will pay a visit...

The case of an ex-convict

He was released a few days ago

He got drunk in the pub

Returning home he stabbed his wife

Many times until his wife bled to death

Now he is charged with murder

He never learned his lesson in prison

He though he is the king in the house

Drinking to get drunk

The time of hell will tell

There is no hope without change

The dark alley painted in the mind

the arrows fly

The arrows fly

Into the air of no target

Hitting on the empty boards

The sheriff feels good

Telling his audience

“This is the dream

It takes us away

Our addiction is them!”

The fools gathered

Applause loudly

Behind his back

“He's the greater fool!”

“We have our benefits

The boards work hard for us

We can enjoy our luxuries

The sheriff is a green eye monster!”

The arrows keep flying

Where is the enemy?

The soldiers hardly see

“Are we the fools?”

The painted pictures

In the minds the sheriff says

“This is our addiction

We can't do a better job”

the rubbish on the river

borrowed star online.com.my


Along the parallel road

The long stretch of the river flows

The motorists who drive by

Nobody pays much surveying

On normal days

The sunny weather the clear water

Flowing through on a clean passage

Hardly giving fear of overflowing

The people who stay around

The old Wah Loong residents

Some will throw rubbish in the river

Old habits die hard within the minds

Along the bank of the river

Near the housing estates blending old and new

The enterprising individuals planting agricultural produce

Using the river water as its source of water supply

Lately a few old trees were chopped off

The small contractor wants to park his lorries

The shady trees gave him shade he didn't realize

Nature's way he forgot about it

When heavy downpour

The orange muddy water rushing to the river

Most likely up from Joo Loong area

The top of the hill residents of good view

The river cries every time

Blinding its eyes of orange muddy water

Nature will hit back one day

When the residents forget that's it

there is no sugar honey

There is no sugar honey

The time has gone its way

It has become an expensive taste

Once it is easy on the pocket

The domino effects will drop in

The stake of cards will have to change

Drinks, pastries, food and medicines

The costs will be borned by the consumers

There is no sugar honey

You don't have to make monkey faces

The truth never runs away

We have to cut down on sweet things

Will there be saving for future needs?

The subsidy withdrawn the money put aside?

For Bee Anne leaders aren't wise in accounting

There will be leakages...there is no sugar honey

the affordable homes

Will the housing prices come down?

With RPGT increased from 15% to 30%?

The property market will not retract

As it is still a buyer's market

Affordable homes

Most working adults find it tough

Finding one within the circle

Of places of work...

The dream house far away

The speculators have other options

Finding an outlet to invest

They know where to find

The housing woes for the buyers

The developers will sing in marketing ploy

The buyers can't afford to put down signatures

The expected decline isn't happening

the bitter taste

The tax man comes

The people have to pay

Like the ancient times

Until the people revolt

The burden of excesses

Bee Anne leaders toll in

The eyes of the wagons

The rolling cry on the coveyor belts

Outside the people gathered

In stalls, coffee shops, lounges and restaurants

The favourite topic of tax

The people have to pay

The debts by Bee Anne

The leaders never want to stop

The line of wealth web the minds

Until the country falls to the ground

Bee Anne leaders give a few sweets

The people should feel grateful for it

In the back alleys the tax burden claws in

There is no sweetness but bitter taste

the web of our lives

The rain falling

In the evening day

The rattling sound on the roof

Like the drumbeats of angels

“Hello people!

You have your fun

You have your time

Don't forget to remember

The clean life to share”

The raindrops falling

Flowing into drains and gardens

The life it will bring

The nature's way

“Hello people!

Take the share

In this world you live

Don't mess it up”

The echo of the falling rain

Listen to the calling of angels

Stay indoors and watch

The web of our lives

the bag of taxes

The sugar and GST

One to get you high

One to get you down

When it is spilled

Across the board

Many items on GST

The sugar is gone

There is no sweetness

The people pay

There is no lie on it

Waived 16% tax

GST all the way home

Bee Anne government

The leaders never learn to manage

There are no answers to our debts

The leaders think of sex

The sugar and GST

There is no way to hide

The debts piling high

The people hold the bag of taxes

the trishaw man

The trishaw man

Sleeping near the river bank

Under the shade of trees

Other vehicles can pass by

The road across the river

The traffic moving along

The trishaw man pays no notice

He is in the Neverland

The legs stretched out

The head leaning on the head rest

The trishaw man pays no heed

The day of the light

When the body needs a rest

Eyes can't open to watch the delight

It is time to take a break

Any place with a shade to hide

The trishaw man

Alone sleeping in Neverland

The shades keep him cool

The wind may breeze it along

don't invite pain and misery

The loan sharks never forgive

The money borrowed must be returned

The easy money the nightmares begin

The people who borrowed thinking it so easy

The loan sharks don't ask many details

Show your IC and place of stay

Once you default the nightmares in your eyes

They are the land sharks offering no sympathy

The victims of borrowers

They are left to fend themselves

The borrowers hide away

Leaving for the family members to pay

The brutal intimidation

The red paint on the walls

The shame tactics on display

The constant intimidating calls

When you are in financial distress

It is better to stay with nothing

Borrowing from loan sharks

You are at their mercy

Don't invite pain and misery

Nothing comes easy when you are down

Don't expect loan sharks to show mercy

They are the crooks living on your distress

the old faces

The old faces

Wrinkled on the skin

The passage of time

The old age arrives

Some can't take it

They are so afraid

The writing on the skin

The lines of wisdom and old age

This is the cycle

Birth living decaying

Once it is done

It isn't over yet

Some want to delay

The outcome of their lives

The plastic surgery wanting to stay young

The pain they bear it greed the game

In the end the inevitable of life

We have a fixed time to stay here

Once it is time we have to pack and go

The journey begins again

What we see

The bodies return to the soil

Cremation of ashes to ashes

The old shells gone new ones begin

the life in babylon

The life in Babylon

The ruler and soldiers

Watching in full gears

A semblance of quietness

The taxes heavy to hold

The people reeling with it

The crying of empty pockets

The rich enriches more

The struggling workers

They don't get the benefits

The ruler and soldiers

Watching in full gears

The token subsidies

The friction to reduce anger

It can't work this way

The fat has to go

The hyenas run

The projects on the roll

The whisper of the wealth

The cronies benefit it all

The ruler and soldiers

Close the gate drop the curtains

The life in Babylon

The cracks for the fall

there is a time and place

There is a time and place

Of a religious faith and practices

If only we are made to understand

The understanding of each faith

Of late we heard

The intolerance of practices

The sensitivity of the a rite

It should be mindful of others as well

The scriptures of a religion

It tells us to be tolerant and kind

Yet we see today

The ignorance comes to play

Where is the beginning and end?

We shouldn't forget we are here for a reason

Learn the sharing of the good deeds

Heavens can wait but we can't in our lives

the long hair woman

The long hair woman

She comes to my life

The day she came

The life story begins

In the city of neon lights

Of crooks, liars and muggers

The day she came

It is the gift of life

The city moves

The people share

The life in the city

The smog and dark angels

The unity of living

The shared values

The city of neon lights

The shadows smile

The long hair woman

She changes everything in my life

The life gets a better footing

The day she came the story of different take

It is honey coated living

It has no pain or sorrow

The day she came

The lights keep shining
