The Iron Butterfly

The wrong flight in the air

She has to make a U turn

She says she is sorry

The string of losses by Blue Eye

It needs to find out why

Likely of the principles forget

The changes must stay focus

Hit the bottom

It needs to fight back

It will show the determination

To get back into the main target

The Iron Butterfly

Wanting to stay out of focus

Without in the main flow of leadership

She will find herself at odd

The Iron Butterfly

Needs to be in the main frame

Without it she will find herself stay ordinary

What's she going to tell?

what now Anwar?

 

What now Anwar?

You are elected uncontested as PKR president

You face 4 straight losses in your leadership

You must have a better one for GE15

No doubt failures hard to stomach in

In a contest there will always be winner or loser

Failure will make you realize to work on it

You shouldn't promise what you can't deliver

Twice in your political life

You were cheated big times

You shouldn't fail in your final contest

You must get it into the right frame

GE15 the nation calls

The broken heart in her soul

Every institution under attacks

Now the wolves hit the judiciary

Because of the court cluster

They intend to soil its name

The last defence for us and nation

It's a crying shame principles are sold

What now Anwar?

Still hanging out with MOU?

You let the wolves to run free

The old way is back in your eyes

You have to initiate change

But will you deliver for the people and nation?

The wolves are howling loud in the dark moon

What will you do to silence them for good?

the painted life

 

The painted life

The camouflage in smile

The hidden flow can't say

It is the way life

In city life

The many fake smiles

The way of painted life

Know its way not to get entangle

The magnetic pull

In the city which never sleeps

The painted life

Sucking many in its glow

Many get into addiction

In the painted life

Wanting to live in its glow

Life finally is sold

Don't be a fool

To get into the painted life

Chasing of wealth forgetting to learn

In death wealth will not tag along

the Good Lord takes Jimmy home 2

 

Ashes sit on the boat

Rowing out to the sea

The nice warm weather

The ripples in the water

The whirring wind

Touching the ashes

Slowly it spreads out

Leaving no physical soul

It's only the memories

Of a time walking on Earth

Living life to its fullest

Finally return as ashes

Prayers for the soul

The ashes will be floating along

Spreading its web wide

By the whirring wind

Jimmy gone home to God

Living in his paradise

Leaving his memories behind

Still pictures to share in family tales

We will offer prayers

In the homes in the church

Let him know he isn't forgotten

His memories will stay with us

the barren forest

 

The forests cleared

Leaving scars of barren hills

The natural camouflage disappears

The bad elements will destroy

The greedy humans for profits

The corrupt governments on projects

The natural forests they can't stand it

They want to plunder to line up pockets

The imbalance of our ecology

The people who are greedy

Extracting more than necessary

Leaving the forests in crying shame

The climate on Earth

There will be serious fall out

The sea water is rising

Causing concern to the environmentalists

We have seen floods

We have seen the damages to properties

We have seen lives lost in the water

But do we learn from our mistakes?

We haven't learned a thing

We are blinded to vote for the familiar faces

Carrying on destroying Nature

Now the sea level is rising!

Are we to wait for 40 days 40 nights?

The sea level rising and torrential rain

Flooding Earth taking away lives

Are we stubborn refusing to change?

the police drones in the air

 

The police drones in the air

Flying like eagles catching prey

The motorists better stay on lanes

Don't try to beat traffic

On the highway

The police drones fly

The traffic police will sit and wait

See who will make the grand entry

Many drivers on the highway

They know the speed limit

They know don't drive on the emergency lane

But in a hurry they tend to forget

They will speed up their driving

Thinking there is no traffic police

Now the police have drones in the air

They catch the speeding motorists

Now drivers on the highway

Don't try to race like mad men

This is a public road

It isn't a F1 track

The police drones in the air

Catching the motorists who forget

The traffic rules while driving

They will be issued summons

the temptation in life

 

The temptation in life

Many will face it every day

Many will fall in the darkness

The many facets glowing in our minds

Love will have all the ingredients

The temptation will make the strong weak

Strolling into its embraces and corners

When the door is open nothing will stop

The politics of power and benefits

The politicians looking for the short cut

The life of immense wealth to take

The temptation will not hide away

In economy businessmen will find ways

Jack up the temptation to get profits

Grease the palms for the projects

Pave the ways of temptation to win

The temptation in life

Many will tempt ways to stay young

They can't face the prospect of wrinkles

They will fall for the marketing temptation

a lot of lies

 

A lot of lies

We listen to it every time

Every one will have something to say

To pass the day

The politicians are crafty with it

They will say to different audience

A different stroke of keys playing

They don't want the people to stay united

Because they will lose their benefits

Even the power they will craze for it

Though they will say “we will serve the people”

Turn the pages of history we were the fools

A lot of lies

The drum beats in our minds

Many will fall for the false hope and dreams

Until reality hit them straight in their eyes

Even in religion of many

The preachers will say different tales

The faithful will be confused in many ways

Like living in “Hotel California”

A lot of lies

Even in business and marketing

The lies to pull in the profits

Let the fools jump into it

A lot of lies

Sometimes we can escape

Sometimes we are caught red handed

We will face the shame and punishment

the bridge of many dark shadows

 

The Penang Bridge

The long traffic flows

A busy bridge for the motorists

Many will not stop for the view

The bridge of many dark shadows

Crawling on the cables floating away

Only hooking up with the depressed persons

They can't take the pressures of living

The bridge of connection

To the living and down to the sea

It depends on the capability of the mind

Live the life or sinking in the deep

Many jumped into the deep sea

They forgot how to live and be free

They let depression take control

Finding no way out but death

Always remember in life

There are always ups and downs

Nothing in life is perfect

So don't waste time thinking of it

Use the time to enjoy life

Even small gestures will light it up

Don't jump down to the sea

The waves will not be happy with it

The Penang Bridge

The connection of leisure and business

Don't use it to walk in the dark shadows

It will not bring cheers but sad memories

the nation can't sit on lies

 

The nation can't sit on lies

It will not hold in a strong hurricane

Even a strong flood of current will shake it

Sending her down to the bottom

Yet the people still don't realize it

The pandemic has brought the nation crying

Seeing the economy taking a hit

The politicians still sucking up to greed and corruption

The turtle man can't think straight

He has to wait for the strings to be pulled

Then he will dance and speak the wrong way

His Lowyat 2 mantra will not hold true

PH still behaves with MOU

As if afraid to lose whatever it has

PH leaders should abandone it

Stick to your coalition forget about big tent

The nation is cowing in desperation

Afraid to be tagged in with Sri Lanka or Greece

The people must realize the outcome of it

The back door only thinks of its own survival

In GE15 the unfinished business

The voters need to come together again

Let the reform take shape for the nation and us

We need to be free to grow and progress!

the silence creeps

 

The silence creeps

In the light or in the dark

Listening to the whirring wind

It tells something but nothing

When eyes close for good

Everything turns to darkness

The whole silence in the soul

The love potion will be a memory

The voice will not be spoken

There is nothing to say or consult

Things done or unfinished will linger

In the road of memories of a time

There is nothing much to say

When the light still shines in life

Better use it to the fullest

Don't leave with regrets

The silence creeps

The world will not weep

Only a small circle of people

They will pray for the soul

the Good Lord takes Jimmy home

 

In the early morning call

The nurse says of a soul will be gone

He can't make it with his life

There is nothing she could do

Jimmy died today

In the hour of the morning ray

He battle it for over many months

Even suffered a bout of Covid 19

Yet he recovered

But he had no will to live

Every waking hour he wanted to go

To visit his mother up in heaven

In his last few months

He couldn't remember many things or faces

He was slowly losing his memories

Sometimes he could; sometimes he lost somewhere

He lived his life

Though he had his bad days too

Now he would be at peace

His wish had come true

He leaves behind his daughter

His brothers and sisters and relatives

Nephews and nieces to mourn his passing

May God bless his soul and forgive his sins

through history we had bad memories

 

The natural forests

The natural hills

Scattered every where

It is there for a reason

It is the natural shade of umbrella

Shadow it from hot sun and heat

Let the Earth be cool

Let us feel the flow of it

But with greedy politicians and businessmen

The natural forests will be cut to size

Build up projects of concrete

We suffer from our bad ways

We will experience floods

We will expose to forest fires

We will expose to bad weather

We will be punished for our greed

Now Nature has sent warnings

Flash floods or forest fires

The ozone layer becomes bigger

We will breathe the bad air

But do we learn?

Through history we have bad memories

Greed will bring us down to our knees

The glaciers melt the water rising

the helicopter nasi ganja case

 

The helicopter nasi ganja case

Got in the news in July 2021

The helicopter landed in Ipoh field

No permit or permission to land

It took such a long time

The police finally say a suspect will be charged

After going round in circle in different sections

It is a straight forward case to handle

Let us wait how the case will be done

It will take a couple of months to appear in court

Maybe there will be out of court settlement

Maybe the suspect will file appeals?

As it stands we will wait

See how the trial will be conducted

Let us read how the police conduct the case

The helicopter nasi ganja tale

win or lose

 

Win or lose

It is a party election

Every one should close ranks

Prepare to face GE15

No losers will be discarded

No winners should take it all

It is a party election

When the contests are over

Let the contest matured the members

Holding umbrellas for the party

It is a good sign to show unity

In the party election to show compassion

Win or lose

The party must stand in positive light

The winners should accommodate the losers

It will be good for the party and members

the omicron rising like a yo yo

 

The Omicron cases

Rising like a yo yo

The numbers up or down

We wonder

The relaxing restrictions

It may cause a rise again

As the numbers grow or decline

It doesn't bring us confidence

The Omicron smile

Pretending to lose then win

The days of rising a yo yo

The numbers up or down

Though we put a brave front

Wanting to forget the pandemic

But the virus still keeping its strangle holds

Fighting to keep its infection high

Better practice our own protection

Social distancing and wearing masks in crowded places

Because we can't see our enemy in our naked eyes

We want to live free so don't forget SOP

the submarine deal

 

The submarine deal

The truth must be dealt with

Why middleman involved?

Why a murder committed?

It all started in 2002

The lining of pockets

The lucrative commissions

The middleman walked to the bank

The murdered of a woman

Arising from her demand of her share

The commission she claimed she had

The murderers and accomplished C4 the victim

In the secondary forest in Selangor

Blown her to pieces wanting to destroy evidence

Yet two police officers were found guilty

But their superiors giving orders undisclosed

One escape to Australia

How could he do it?
When his case was under appeal?

Somebody wanted him out of the nation

France conducted the criminal investigations

The years brought the parties in France to jail

The company and the executives involved paid the price

Here we haven't seen the light of day

The master mind involved in the murder

The police didn't want to investigate

Maybe they found out who they are

They let the sleeping dogs be

the comet man gets it right

 

The Blue Eye needs shake up

The Comet Man gets it right

It isn't splitting the party

It is getting better leaders on board

The old timers should know

The long established rules need to change

Nothing should stay forever

It has to move with the times

Tian Chua should just stay quiet

He made his wrong choice years ago

He shouldn't think of contesting a seat

His time should be spent on changing

Rafizi has his plan to shake up the party

The Blue Eye needs a new paint to glow

The old one can't shine now

It got lost in the straight 4 state elections

The Comet Man is in a hurry

The Blue Eye has no time to wait

The changes must come quickly

New leaders should be elected now

The Blue Eye can't stay stagnant

The state election losses told the story

The leaders have to change

Else the voters will ship them out

the MOU will hold back PH

 

Anwar shouldn't talk

The MOU will hold back PH

The turtle man will not respond

He will stay his elegant silence

Remember he is under controlled

By the court cluster to dance to the tune

Without the master pulling the strings

He will not say a thing

Get out of the MOU

The real changes still walking

The back door isn't interested

The dragging of Bills to pass

The turtle man

We remember his Lowyat 2

He can't change his spots

Anwar should get it on

Forget the MOU

The real changes will not happen

The back door leaders will offer excuses

Because Anwar you only talk

The turtle man

He has the taste of power

Like a champion in his mind

But he can't do a thing

The master pulls the strings

Anwar should have known it now

The wolves don't want to change

They want back the old way!

if we aren't good in English

 

If we aren't good in English

We can't compete in the borderless world

Face the facts squarely and be humble with it

It isn't too late to change the trend

Even Japan and China

The governments encourage English to the people

Master English to compete globally

Don't be a champion at home!

If we want to make an impact in the world

Master English to hunt the world's wealth

Don't stay inside a coconut shell

Dreaming of building castles in the air!

As it is now the education standards are low

The government even lower the grade to pass

Allowing the Malays to jump the grade

But who will suffer in later years?

Now the trend is learning Mandarin

China is the oasis of wealth to make

If we are masters in English and Mandarin

We can travel to work with ease of passage

Malay language can be used at home

As a bridge for conversation in the coffee shops

On the streets and villages maybe in government offices

Though the civil servants should speak in English in return

But the political elites

Can't afford to change the system

They want to be the leader of the people

They learn the languages but only one for the masses

only introduce when the economy is rising

 

The Labour Day

The wages get a boost

A minimum wage gazette

No employers can escape

The trade unionists will be singing

The praises of how they contribute

The negotiating for a minimum wage

Helping the workers to fight inflation

But is it the right move?

We are living in the pandemic

Causing many companies and shops to shut down

Even recession has set its foot

Is it the right atmosphere for it?

The back door doesn't think through

The trade unionists don't see the trouble ahead

They only think they had make their contributions

The nation hasn't geared up economically

The SMI suffered the most in the pandemic

With the minimum wage some may not want to return

Leaving a vacuum to fill the unemployed

Only introduce it when the economy is rising

Bursting to reach the height once again

Not at the current situation in the country

Of the pandemic still rising concerned

the trouble makers

 

The trouble makers

Many often in shadows

Only a few will dare to crow

Until they are identified

Still they aren't worried

They will get paid well

The trouble makers

We can see in Palestine and Israel

Both sides don't want truce

They will make troubles

Rousing the heated jealousy

Camouflage as political differences

The clashes will keep repeating

Through the decades and now

Still the same old story

They don't like each other

Even in working relationship

We will see the trouble makers

Gossiping to cause problems

Spreading like a wild fire

The trouble makers

Keep them a distance

They can't be trusted

Like to be helpful for a reason

But in politics

They will want to bring down

The opponents in their midst

As quickly as possible for a price
