the middle ground

The moderates and extremists

They are the intellectual groups

Moving in opposite direction

The nation will just sip “teh tarik”

The lower groups of society

They are fighting to feed the families

Finding jobs to tide the woes

They don't have time to quarrel

The middle class groups

They feel comfortable but with fear

Finding ways to run away

But everywhere can be the same

So they hedge their bets

On the moderate stand they go

Believing that's the best policy

We are Malaysians after all

But extremists think otherwise

They think they are the majority

They can do what they like

The core values of the Constitution

Now they think they have the opportunity

The Islamic militants running wild in other nations

Branding their kind of military Islam to the fore

But they forget God's law belong to God!

The middle ground should be the way

The decades of living peacefully

Why want to create issues out of it?
