don't talk about religion

 

Don't talk about religion

Let it stay in private

Let the people cultivate

In their own way

The holy books

The guide lines to living

In pursuit of paradise

It isn't about which is the best

The preachers are humans

They shouldn't interpret on free will

The wrong way of approaching

The meaning of harmony is gone

Don't talk about religion

In politics it brings out the bad

Trying to score for personal interests

The weaknesses of the soul

Don't talk about religion

It will not bring economy forward

The souls and minds need nourishment

The politicians trying to score own interests

hang on to hope

 

Hang on to hope

When everything seems going down

The lights seem to slowly flicker out

Leaving a slow darkness for the eyes

In the dark hollow

A trying time to feel

The eyes still trying

The mind is screaming

Hang on to hope

There is always a way

When the mind stays focus

Feeling its way to the exit door

Life can be cruel

When living in the dump

Nothing seem flowing

Hang on to hope

bad to the elites

 

Bad to the elites

The focus will hit

They don't have to hide

The decades of short cuts

The easy wealth

No sweat just carry balls

The laughter to the banks

The grapevine whispers

Macc run on

Watching every move

The list of names

The officers may want to investigate

Bad to the elites

The focus on wealth

The order is to find

The corrupt hiding in society

right or wrong

 

The bad to Renaissance man

The Pardon Board decision

Right or wrong now

He still gets the blame

He can't escape the scrutiny

He can't say it isn't his decision

Right or wrong is his dilemma

He better doesn't forget

Even his own party members

Soundly criticize him for his role

Though he will say

It isn't his decision to make

MO1 gets his half way

The party wolves aren't satisfied

They don't see the crime

They only see to support blindly

Yet Renaissance man

The blame falls on him

In unity government hiccups will happen

He mustn't be afraid to lose

paint it light

 Paint it light

Let it be seen

No need to hide

Stand the truth

Paint it light

Every eye can see

Nothing to worry

The scent of good

Paint it light

The voices of good

Let hope come alive

Even bad vibrations hit

Paint it light

The darkness will not like

The liars will stay away

The scent of good

Paint it light

Let it be seen

No need to hide

Stand the truth

Paint it light

Every eye can see

Nothing to worry

The scent of good

Paint it light

The voices of good

Let hope come alive

Even bad vibrations hit

Paint it light

The darkness will not like

The liars will stay away

The scent of good

do you want to lie?

 

Do you want to lie?

Get your way and richness?

Many will try to live

Tomorrow isn't in their mind

How many lies can you say?

You can't have it all

When it is found out

You will not be trusted

Because you don't think

Tomorrow will hold you high

So you will tell lies

Live today tomorrow isn't your day

Do you want to lie?

You may sound good

When you are found out

You will not be trusted

don't play race and religion

 

Race and religion

Still the book of play

Fishing for votes

The opponents will pay

Renaissance man

Don't forget to change

Listen to the ground

Don't play the trend

It is better to lose

Save the nation and wealth

No need to play the book of division

Race and religion should live in private

The years ahead

The heavy loads will run

Don't let the opponents misbehave

Renaissance man should hit hard

the dark alley at the far end

 

Dark in the alley

In the night when the lights die

Leaving a shadow hanging from afar

Nobody pays any attention

They are busy firing

Rocket missiles to the air

The display of lights booming out

The boom explosion eyes watching

The cats will run

Every direction to find shelters to hide

Fear in their eyes and minds

As they scattered in every direction

The dark alley at the far end

A man and a woman embrace

Together they will forget

The rocket missiles lighting up in the sky

Who will see?

The distraction sparkles in the air

The night awakes with fireworks

All eyes to the sky

don't amend the constitution

 

Losing in Federal Court

The crocodiles want to amend

The Federal Constitution

To suit their taste of Islamic nation

It is again using race and religion

Trying to sink the fabric of good institution

Wanting to stay on high above civil law

The MP shouldn't fall for the entrapment

As the Constitution stands today

It is the guardian for a secular nation

This is the founation the nation built

Don't let the crocodiles twisted it

If the Muslims want an Islamic nation

They should migrate to Middle East

Fly over to Pakistan or Iraq or Iran and live

And witness on the first hand account

The nation must remain as secular nation

It is our foundation for all races to live in harmony

It is the bad politicians playing their bad routine

It's only to serve their own interests to stay on

the roaring waves

 

The roaring waves

Floating high and low

Chasing with the wind

No racial tone on it

The waves will race

One after another

In a cohesive form

Linking to unity in waves

The wolf leaders should learn

How a unity should work

For the nation needs to progress

Not for their selfish needs

The roaring waves

It sings a nice tune in its ring

But the wolves howling

Sounding arrogance refused to mix

the wolf youth chief

 

The wolf party chief

He should discipline his young youth chief

Playing his firecrackers he thinks he is big

In politics he just a small fry indeed!

How good in his history?

The Rocket has blasted higher

Reaching out to every space

What has the wolf young chief had?

He has nothing to show

His party lost badly in GE15

PH gave them a hope to change

Yet the wolves forget

Howling at minor things

The brain isn't working ahead

The old villages should retain

This can be a trend for tourism

The young wolf chief

Stop playing his childish games

Learn to live with unity

The nation needs to grow economically

the unity government hanging on a magical thread

 

The unity government hanging on a magical thread

The coalition partners know the set up well

Running together to forge a unity pack

Taking the jewel of the crown

It is a mix menu to satisfy the taste

Every leader signed on to work on it

In the kitchen to wok up plenty

To satisfy the different groups and ideologies

Ocassionally we will hear of a challenge

One leader will try to cause hiccup in unity

Maybe he feels sore over his party losing

In the plan to forge ahead

In that scene the Old Man will smile

He his plots and plans working on it

Though many will suspect he will not stay long

Let him play his last toy to his satisfaction

Renaissance man will not answer

He has too many on his plate

He has to walk on a thin ice

A time he can't make any mistake

the old man and his cronies

 

The Old Man and his cronies

With combined wealth and resources

They may try to plan how to bring down

An elected government to its knees

They are afraid to be investigated

As a few are taken to court to answer

How they amassed so much wealth

One even refused to provide his assets holding

Karma has come full circle

Those decades ago how the wealth was made

ACA didn't dare to go ahead

Without the approval from the authority

The Old Man and his cronies

Finding hard to sleep well

Thinking of their past deeds

Afraid of Macc running on

the wind

 

The wind

Hot; cold or smoke

Winding through

Air; homes or forests

It doesn't care

It takes when it blows

Hot wind or cold air

It is its choice

Hurricane or twister

Tornado crushing the ground

Everything stands its way

Everything is laid to waste

The wind

The good there is

It is how it is harnessed

It is a choice

the crocodiles getting angry

 

The crocodiles

They can't rock properly

They want all to rock

Many ignore the beat

The rocking law

They can't convince the Federal Court

They lost their controversial syariah law

The ruling says it goes against the Constitution

The Federal Constitution

The supreme law of the nation

No state government should ignore it

As a result laws passed will be void

Even the lawyer who brought up the case

She received death threats to her life

Bad laws must be repealed

Home Minister should look into the crocodile party

The crocodiles getting angry

The police should monitor the situation

Don't let the extremists get amok

Religion shouldn't be in politics

maybe the cats want to live like strays

 

The firecrackers

Hit the piercing gong

The sharp vibrations

The cats shiver in fear

They run out

Hiding somewhere

2 never return

Duration of the firecrackers

Today one returns

He stays a few seconds

Next gig he has disappeared

He has forgotten his place of stay

Maybe he feels better be a stray

Roaming free walking far away

Pick up food on the road or back lanes

That's the way he wants his life to stay

One female cat doesn't return

It is a fair conclusion to say

She isn't coming home

She finds a new place to hide

Feed them when they were kittens

Growing up now and can jump and run

They don't value the place they grew up

Maybe living like strays is their life style

corruption in deep

 

Corruption in deep

Bury in knots of the system

Fishing out the bad fishes

It isn't easy

The layers it covers

The runners in every organization

Money is the motivation

The greedy will take the bribe

Renaissance man will face

The many hurdles he has to glide over

In the football field packs with tins of sardines

It isn't easy to navigate

Now the sharks in trouble

The old age has no excuse

The corruption doesn't count time

Do the crime no good name

Corruption in deep

The nation of people weep

The corrupt still not in prison

Money like to talk

religious texts

 

The religious texts

Written a few hundred years

After the messengers gone

Leaving the contents

Only buried in memories

Passing through by words

Without any written records then

When it was found not easy to remember

Only then writers came to collect it all

With heresay and personal experiences

Joining together to carry weight

Along the way some discarded

Not following the trends in those times

In today's story about any religion

There are different versions and groups

But all believe there is only one God

sunny morning

 

Sunny morning

The lights shine

The still air

In the hot sun

The cars moving by

The neighbours get ready

The praying alters to pray

The fire-crackers ready hanging high

The homage to the ancestors

Those gone playing their roles

The next generation to remember

Those times whisper in conversation

The prayers done

The firecrackers will light up

Cracking up the quiet neighbourhood

A time to remember

the firecrackers

 

The firecrackers

Sparks of lights and smoke

Floating up to the sky

The small crowd stay to watch

The long fire-crackers

Hanging down from the porches

Right to the road

The longer the better

When it lights up

The ear piercing sound booming

Cracking sparks with smoke

The smoking air of bad smell

The cats spring out of fear

One rushing towards the fire-crackers

As if trying to show how brave

The fear in their eyes; bodies shivering

One house to another

The sound of crackers

Piercing out to the wind

The cats have a bad shivering experience

The fire-crackers

The Dragon looking great

The roaring to his way

As he sits on this throne

hang on

 

Hang on

To a hope still there

Bring it into play

Now today is a good start

Hang on

Today it will see

A smile and a hand-shake

It will be a going

In the world of bad feeling

The lights still flickering

To the crowd who live in it

Hang on into the play

Hang on

To a hope still there

The harmony of living

We need it to survive

the elites should hide away

 

The elites should hide away

No need to show their faces and wealth

They had their living through the back door

Taking on wealth on the short-cut way

They can hide in other countries

No need to declare their holdings

No need to wait for Macc

No need to tell their tales

The public will forget

Out of sight no news about them

Even Macc may not want to pursue

Too many hurdles and time

Like Moo's son in law

He took flight never return

Macc wanted to investigate

About a billion dollar contract

The elites shouldn't cry

In the net they have to reply

Playing dumb will not help

In court they need to answer well

the wolves shouldn't try

 

The wolves shouldn't try

Finding ways to amend the Constitution

Making syariah law above it?

Anwar should have his backbone

The Federal Court makes the ruling

No state government can craft laws

Running contrary to the Constitution

It shouldn't have happened

But it was the wolves heyday

Making many syariah laws in the states

It is best leave it to the 9 Sultans

They are the Heads of their religion

The NM politicians should listen

Don't let the wolves have their way

The old ways are crawling back

Anwar should have his backbone

right or wrong

 

Right or wrong

Renaissance man will take the heat

He can't offer any excuses

The critics will not play his game

Renaissance man's headache

To pleasing his coalition partners

He needs to balance his role

Afraid to lose his chair

Right or wrong

The bug will stop at his position

He can't escape the scrutiny

He better stop saying too much

He should focus on the economy

Bring the good feeling flow for the people

Don't forget the promises of change

The bad laws the bad politicians

the Dragon roars

 

The Dragon roars

The light in his eyes

The fireworks light

At midnight glow

The cracking of fireworks

Booming out in the silent night

The ushering ceremony

The Dragon roars taking his role

Some will complain

Lighting fireworks disturbing the night

They can't get a good night sleep

As the fireworks will continue

The cats run away

In a rush afraid of the booming noise

They run like are shot at

Breathing heavy fear in their eyes

The Dragon roars

Taking his role at midnight

The firecrackers storm the silence

As the Dragon takes his chair

hold one law for the Federation

 

Time to hold

One law for the Federation

Let every state leader know

There is no liberty to craft law

The Federal law will be supreme

Why there is a need to craft state law?

As it stands many state laws passed

It may have run foul on the Federal Constitution

Kelantan 16 syariah law

Now the Federal Court judges passed their verdict

It goes against the Federal Constitution

Therefore it is void

The Home Minister must act on the crocodiles

They don't respect the Federal Constitution

The party should be banned for good

No political party should use religion as its base

Don't let the crocodiles corrupt the minds

The religious kindertens should be reviewed and checked

Why should a political party run its own kindertens?

This is to instill a different ideology of a religion

Now the Federal Court judges make their ruling

All those state syariah laws must be looked into

There must be a uniform syariah law in all states

It mustn't go against the Federal Constitution

war on corruption

 

War on corruption

Past and now will run

Macc will chase on

Break many hearts too

The corrupt will worry

War on corruption

The King all for it

Macc will run on

The culprits will live

Fear on the knocking

War on corruption

Past and now will run

Many will support

The corrupt should be in bars

Let them stay for good

Let them get the blue

War on corruption

No compromise should be given

Let them know the law

No one can escape

one bad gone

 

One bad gone

Living his life alone

Behind bars for a time

There he will learn

One bad gone

The nation can grow

Live through the shame

Get back her frame

It isn't easy

The bad vibration rings

Every nation will hear

It is why one bad gone

The powerful should learn

It is only just a while

Don't get it over the head

Prison with bars will ring

One bad gone

Living his life alone

Behind bars for a while

Living through the shame

MO1 can sing his blue

 

No pardon for MO1

No way he should get it

He can try again

The current King isn't in

The root of the cause

The powerful think they can escape

Using the Pardon Board as the punching bag

They think they can smile out in style

The Pardon Board mustn't break the rules

It will give the public a false hope

Let the criminals serve time

Until they learn they are wrong

MO1 still showing no remorse

He still says he is innocent

The millions he took it

He hasn't returned

No pardon for MO1

He can claim innocence

Renaissance man feels the heat

He should have his back-bone to control it

the wolves can try

 

The wolves can try

Trying their best to file

Another round to help

Freeing their former chief

They should move on

Finding ways to bring back their glory

Harping on a corrupt leader in jail

It will not serve them the right footing

He did it to himself

He did the crime so he served his time

What do the wolves don't understand?

At this rate they show they support bad leaders

That heyday has gone

The wagon train derailed now

Nothing much they can do

Better they think of the correct flow

The wolves

Stop howling on the wrong

It will not help them in GE16

It's better to build more young able leaders

tomorrow is another story

 

The nation of fools

Thinking of paradise

When it is now

Not we are in ashes

Live the life today

Tomorrow isn't in the sky

Paradise is what we see now

Not until we are gone into oblivion

Many have been taught

Since the day they were young

Infusing them the doctrine

Paint a picture of narration

Do we hear of the return?

Telling us of paradise?

It is a story of sunrise and sunset

The scripture writers wanted to feel good
