the imbalance is pulling us down


There is nothing fine in the economy
Living in the glass tower seeing nothing
These leaders should walk the ground
Alone and observe maybe ask a few questions
They will be surprise when they hear it
It isn't no help producing graphs and statistics
What can numbers do when the real pain is there?

The malls you will see
Shops close as owners can't make it
Some say rental increase and GST
Making business will be hard to get by
The shoplots in the malls
Cost of doing business will be high
With the current trend in the country
The economy isn't looking rosy

Even the hawkers will tell
It is hard to make ends meet
But they will increase selling price
Driving away more customers instead
They say they can't help it
Costs have gone up
So they need to play the game

While the government leaders tell a different story
Yet they are afraid of the shadows lurking behind
When opponents criticise them on their handling
They send the police to monitor the opponents
As if to show how tough they are in it?

The economy isn't sailing smoothly
There are grouses on the ground
The government ministers better shape up
Take charge and work on it
Don't just follow blindly to support a leader
When the imbalance is pulling us down

the heavily tinted vehicles



The heavily tinted vehicles
On the road like bullies
Driving without care of the traffic law
They know they can go free

Once it was said in June
With pressures mounting it was postpone
The authorities bending low giving grace
But it is going to be end of 2015!

Once it was during Pak Lah's administration
So much publicity slowly died down
Postponed for a few months nothing came
Until he left office tinted vehicles running free

Under Najib's watch
The same scene repeated again
Like deja vue nothing really came
Ad hoc checking nothing serious

The police are busy
Chasing after the opposition
Chasing after the critics
Leaving the watch in CCTV

don't destroy the forests


The haze is gone
The white and blue sky
The last few days
The late evening rain

Will it last?
Is it just a temporary wave?
We will never know
The plantation owners will do

Indonesia promises
Next year there will be no haze
The neighbouring countries have enough
Indonesia better takes pro-active measures now

Our health on the line
So are the Indonesians
Do not burn the forests
Do the natives way

Take care of the forests
She will spread her goodwill
Why destroy the green?
We have the natural benefits

no more a 3rd chance



Whatever the Old Man had done
Let him have his say to his content
He knows his subject well
He breeds them to this day

He is an icon
Many people grew up knowing him
He isn't somebody just dropped in
He once ruled the nation in his way

Now his students want to cage him
Upsetting their master showing no respect
What the Old Man said before was correct
He loves his party not any individual

The police state he once said
He wasn't afraid to go to jail
The police came to ask questions
He declined to answer many of them

By his lawyers he didn't have to
He has his liberty and he has lawyers
Police officers stayed later left the building
The Old Man still stays free today

All I can say
He will see his party fall
It has too many sins
No more a 3rd chance

let them have the high now


Let the ruling elites run
The last mile on the track
Let them have the glory
Crossing the finishing line

Let them feel the exhilaration
Let the wind speak to them
Let the applause ring in their ears
Let them feel they need it

Once it is done
Let them never forget the backdoor
Push them through without a goodbye
Let them feel how it is like

Let them feel the shame
How it is like to get the treatment?
We have been given the bad
Now we have to let them feel it

are we in police state?


Are we in police state?
We can't criticise the men in blue
We can't criticise the government
The police will spring into gears

Now the opposition lawmakers
One by one will be picked up and charged
Under the Sedition Act or PAA
Sometimes under Sosma

But for the ruling elites and members
They seem to escape the eye of the police
Even saying seditious remarks they can escape
The men in blue will take a long walk from a maze

Even stomping pictures of public figures
The police will come after the event
But the ruling elite members they can escape
We don't hear the outright marching orders

Can't the police be fair?
Don't play politics
You are employed to do a job
Be equal in tasks ruling and opposition

Are we in police state?
The Old Man seems to think so
The public perception ringing high
It is time we take stock of our lives and nation

a room by the corner



The Bamboo River rings
There is a room by the corner
Waiting for one man to walk in
The days and nights it stays

Every inmate walks by
Every eye wondering why
Every gesture tells a story
When will he come to stay?

The Bamboo River rings
The bell tolls the echo hears
There is a room by the corner
Waiting for one man to walk in

He stays on a high
Eyes keep watching his back
The shadows of sins looming
The price of sins can't go away

He has to go
There is no hope with him
The bad luck he brings
He will make everything bad

The Bamboo River rings
There is a room by the corner
Waiting for one man to walk in
The days and nights it stays


the people pick the government


The people pick the government
For how long the stay the people decide
It isn't the government to rule around
It's the people who will say it loud

No leader can stay
Putting fear and lopsided decisions
Unwilling to tell the truth
Giving lies giving lies giving the go around

The people have every right
To make or break a government
It is there in the democratic process
No leader should play the lies

A leader isn't there forever
When inefficiency creeps in
The people have every right to the answers
No leader worth his salt should hide

The government is for the people
Elected to work for the nation by our votes
We are the decision makers of a government
Let no leader try to think otherwise

the bamboo river ringing its bell



The man will not come
He can't show his face and tell
He doesn't have the answers
He will send somebody instead

He doesn't want to look like a fool
When questions come along he can't find his cue
Every eye will be upon him to see his reaction
One after another he will fall

No Sir he will hide
His apple polishers will answer
It will be a surprise if he turns up
He has the habit of running away

Who gave him the money?
What did he do with it?
Where are the balance now?
Why it didn't reflect in the party's accounts?

Simple questions for simple answers
But the man will try to hide his words
He can't tell it now knowing the effects
But Bamboo River ringing its bell

no debate on 1mdb



What debate?
The turn around
The gag order
Finally there is none

Friday never happens
The TV station debate cancelled
Tony Pua sticks to PAC
He can get his day in time

1MDB CEO
He hides behind House Speaker's order
He doesn't want to debate with Rafizi
He wants to save his face

The people want to know
The tax money will drive in
When the cash flow hit the wind
Our monies will be used

How long can it hide?
1MDB will wake up and cry
When the time comes in years
Today or tomorrow it has to show

the gag order



The gag order
It's only for one man
Build the wall around him
Let the bad stay behind doors

Macc still talking
When they are going to call him in?
If it is the opposition, long time in interrogation
But this one man it takes a slow walk

Police will use Sosma
On the pretense of national security
Of critics who talk about the corruption and CBT
The critics will be put behind bars without trial

And the party executive members
They will investigate members who say bad things
About this one leader holding court
They will want to punish the critics

The gag order
It will not make any difference
The social media will write about it
The truth needs to sail free


women always get the raw deal



Women always get the raw deal
They don't have the chance to seal
It is always the men who got away
When bad things happen

In Pakistan a woman was stoned to death
It was said she committed adultery
The man surely got free
The woman paid for her life

In narrow minded focus on religion
Women always draw the flaks
Everything wrong women to pay
The men always walk free

In the remote area of India
A woman was burned to death
When she rejected her boyfriend proposal
He got angry poured oil on her set fire

Men forget women hold the cards
They are born for many reasons
They aren't born as slaves to men
They make the world grow and shine

Men must have compassion
The religious doctrines say it too
Without it men will fall
In the evil clutches of damnation

the gruesome murders

The gruesome murders
The minds of humans do
Killing, chopping, feeding
Buried in the rivers or in oil drums

It's the evil mind
It will never change
It makes us living in fear
When will evil rest?

They look normal
With a family and children
Behind the close doors
The unthinkable happens

The Tapah murders
4 people were murdered
By a family husband and wife
And two sons; in the gruesome find

Police claimed victims were cut to pieces
Burned and bones threw to the river
Rumour has it some were fed to the 30 dogs
The evil rules in the family

Don't forget we have the Atlantuya's murder
Shot and C4 to pieces in a secondary forest
The main suspect is still walking free
Only the runners go to jail and the waiting rope

And I always remember this murder case
A young girl was killed in Kuala Lumpur
With a pole poked right through her body
From her anus to the main structure of her frame

The murderer isn't caught to this day
It happened decades ago in the city
The murder shocked the people
But the case turned cold......

the halloween day


The last gathering
On the Wizard's Castle
Once it shown the way
Of the lights of magic

On the Halloween Night
The splashes of colourful costumes
Bringing the cheers to Wizard's Castle
The last gathering on it

The shimmering lights on the pool
The images of reflection in pictures
Of the smoking barbeque
The wizard's table of food and drinks

The pictures of smile and laughter
The celebration of the good cheers
On Wizard's Castle of lights
Family, children, friends and teenagers

The magic will be returned
To a new home waiting for the family
The Halloween Night will shine
The old home will become just a memory

don't care



Don't care
About the truth
Of events going
It's just for one man

The circle surrounds
Building a magic wall
Telling us nothing is wrong
Everything is as usual

Don't care
The people's perception
Knowing the truth
It has to come

Don't care
But the taxpayers do
It affects all of us
About the truth

The money in the bags
The self interests grow
Do they hear the truth?
Nay...they just don't care

We are on our own
We will fight for the truth
One day it will come full circle
Right now our pockets of holes

Don't care
About the truth
But taxpayers do
One day it will come full circle

the poo on the grass


The poo on the grass
Nobody wants to claim
They let it dry under the sun
Rain or shine the close eyes

When individual or group hit it
Taking the matter to highlight the story
The why or how or when or what fly
When outsiders show the way....

The guilty person keeps saying
"I have no idea what they say
It looks like me though I can't identify
The streaming video could be a fake”

Reports lodged in local police
Some made it to overseas police stations
Telling the world all about the poo
Splashing in print the negative dive in

Yet the local police ignore it
The main culprit still walks free
The whistle blowers put behind bars
Saying they sabotage economic of the state!

The poo is still on the grass
The sun will dry it in no time
The guilty party is running free
Knowing who dare to capture him?

get a map


If you don't know your way
Don't try to tempt your fate
You will get lost in the maze
Of structures, signs, objects
Without a map to guide your way

The children and adults
They fall for the familiar trap
They want to explore regions
They don't study the map
Once they get lost they walk in circle

On the road people will help
Telling you where to go find the location
But sometimes stay alert of bad hats
They may have ulterior motive behind the smile
They may tell you to go to their protected area
There the gang will rob you dry

But in the forest you are on your own
The jungle will keep you isolated once you are lost
It seems you will not find the gate to go home
You are trapped in the maze walking in circle
It had happened to many people in the forest

If you don't know your way
Don't try to tempt your fate
On the road people will come to help
In the forest you are on your own
So better get a map before you go


the malaysian islamic militants



What are the Malaysian Islamic militants want?
They live in a peaceful nation with food everywhere
Living with inter-faith of religions and many races
Working hard for the nation to progress
Yet we find there are people hell bend to destroy

What have gone wrong with religious teaching?
Some teachers may have bred the seed of destruction
Telling the innocent minds of paradise world
In the far far far away reach of any soul
Only in the mind the conjuring of lights and sound

No religion can claim it is the best
No man alone can decide others are fake
No man alone can say the world belong to him
The religion he professes others must follow
In this world it is a test of faith in one's belief

So we are grateful to the men in blue
They caught these Islamic militants
Army commandos and civil servants
It is unfortunate we have some bad apples
Wanting to do damages on the peaceful nation

These Islamic militants
They will keep pushing
Spreading lies and ideology
We are grateful to the men in blue
They keep a watchful eye for the nation

pkr learn your lessons


PKR
When will you ever want to learn?
Are you hungry for Pas?
You even turn a blind eye

PKR
Pas stabbed your president
When the crisis of MB's post
Pas painted her bad

What did you do?
You still sing praises
You want their grass roots support
It is better to fail and try

Build your support base
Your brand is flourishing
Why still want the old marketing?
It is time to stop and hit the road

PKR
Pas going to Amno baru
You better let it go its way
Stop dreaming face reality

Pas is going down
The road of oblivion
Don't you see it PKR?
Don't hope for the turnaround


weak foundation



When a political party acquires for wealth
The foundation will be the shaky ground
When the road of survival comes into play
The members can't stand in unity and fight

The noble aim to fight for the poor
At the beginning of the political party struggles
Slowly money politics creep into its soul
Like cancer it slowly spreads its web of strings

Taking hold of each leader's soul
The carrot of power and wealth bloom
The party leaders fall heads over it
For the eyes see the minds plot the game

The weaknesses of characters
Using money to enrich into power game
The leaders only fight for themselves
The marginalised poor only as a token to help

There is always lack of sincerity
The political leaders speak with aim to enrich the pockets
Nothing else matters in pursuit of their needs
For they know they have a short stint to make it work

When the foundation can't stand the trembling
Of the running feet of a change
Whatever patch up will not make any difference
The inevitable fall has to come indeed!

the wolves in politics


The wolves in politics
The day they play humans
The night the changing shapes
Into the creatures of the night

The full moon they roam
Seeking out new members
To play the howling game
Into the fall of the night

The wolves in politics
They will promise many
They even tell lies to get there
In the full moon they change

If you are still alive
You have changed into the wolf
In the political games of changing shapes
You will never know of friendship and enemy

You only know to stay in power
As long as it takes to sit there
You will not hide and run away
You will sing fear the howling game of the night

The wolves in politics
They run in pack to show strength
But they know it is for show
Each will want to be the leader

ready for flood



Flood on the way
The yearly errand of nature
Reminding us to remember
What we take we forget to replace

The low lying areas
The houseowners are worried
The rising water from the rain
The river banks slowly rising

Though we hear the authority
“We are ready for the flood
Everything in ship shape
We will face the angry face”

So the watching eyes
Many will keep the rounds
We will never know exactly
How nature will make her way

Parents shouldn't allowed children to play
On the flood prone areas
Once they forget lives can be lost
The flood will take lives

the debate on 1mdb


The debate on 1MDB
The people will want to hear
The controversy about its management
The debts and cash flow inefficiency

There are many questions
There aren't answers to satisfy the mind
It is a deflection most of the time
With this debate the truth must come out

This isn't a normal debate
Of schools or universities
This is the debate of reality
Of tens of billions involved

In live television broadcast
The former PAC chairman says it's childish
It is best he answered it himself
Leaving PAC for his own self interest

The nation wants answer
The Conference of Rulers had spoken
The debate will generate interest
The people will want to know

the pages of a life



The pages of a life
The birth, growth, illness and die
There is nothing could be done
It is the pattern in the form

Many realize it
They will accept the fate
When the time comes to go
They don't argue

There are a few
They will try to prolong their lives
They don't believe death has to come
There must be a reset button

The immortals they read
Believe there must be a way
Of how to prolong a life
Living through the centuries

Once it was in the beginning
Of ancient people living to hundreds of years
The old ancient scriptures will tell stories
Of those period of that time

Now every one can dream
Immortality is hard to come by
Life has a fixed shelf date
When it comes the crying tears

So live in the pages of life
Don't worry about yesterday
Try to live your best today
Tomorrow hasn't arrived yet

haze says goodbye



The pockets of blue
The blanket of white
Floating together in the sky
The sun rays brightly light up
It brings a smile

The monsoon season
It helps to cheer up the sky
Now the haze seems in hiding
Lurking to hit back again

One trouble goes away
There is the other dilemma
The floods of our history
It will make its call

The low lying areas
The villages brave it again
The flash floods may happen
The lost souls try to escape

For now we have
The clear sky in our eyes
Will it stay for long?
The monsoon season arrives

the fire slowly burn



Money talk
So it seems
In power dominance
Money knock

Buying allegiance
The selling of souls
The temporary haven
But the fire slowly burn

In time the heat
Turning up the temperature
It will become unbearable
By then it is the lost souls

The political party members
They better wake up soon
The implosion may arrive
Then they will cry

By then what's the use?
They sold their souls for money
Thinking it will help
In the end they sit and tears flow
