hello?

Hello?

Do you hear?

The doors swing open

The fresh air breathes in

Hello?

The echo of the emptiness

The shadows of lights

Penetrating from outside

Hello? Hello?

The stairs seem silence

The breathing of the caller

No sound in the house

Hello anyone at home?

The parrot imitates it

“Hello! Hello!”

The caller turns to see

No shadow from anyone

“Hello..don't play trick”

The house is quiet

The morning rays make the glow

The caller stays

Watching the sun rays

He has no where to go

The empty house is his

midnight the dead party

Midnight the dead party

Until the dawn they disappear

The party of dancing

Jiving into the night

The unseen drugs

The party goers swallow

The shaking heads

The bodies gyrating

Midnight the dead party

Until the dawn they disappear

The police hunt

In the dawn of light

Torchlights flare

The men in blue round

Midnight the dead party

Eyes dead minds sleeping

The bodies flow

The music show the way

The police stop it

The sleepy heads take flight

Midnight the dead party

Until the dawn they disappear

The party of dancing

Jiving into the night

once you have the power

Once you have the power

Know it is a responsibility

It isn't for gunning down

The engine of movements

Once you have the power

You mustn't act high and mighty

You demand every one to your needs

Bearing in mind it is just temporary

Once you have the power

Learn to be humble all the times

Don't forget the root you belong

It is better to stay on the ground

Power can be gone tomorrow

You can't hold it forever

When you have made the wrong choices

The engine of movements will remove you

Strike by workers

Bad publicity on the company

It brings poor sales

Do you think you can stay long?

Once you have the power

Learn to be humble all the times

Don't forget the root you belong

It is better to stay on the ground

when it is time...

The singers and actors

The youngsters flock to idolise them

In the way they look and walk

Some will try to imitate how they speak

They have role models to play

To keep the narrow and straight

Straying away from the noble values of life

It shouldn't happen as they get known

But when they have the fame

The monies rolling in like falling rain

Suddenly they will change

They will indulge all the negative values

Until the fame dwindles

They lose all the respect

They lose all the dignity

They will rot away

Some realize it

They make the change

Before it is too late

Some make it back to fame

Fame and power

Don't get fooled by it

It is just come and go

When it is time...

cash is king

Cash is king

It has gone wrong

Somewhere in our nation

Taxing more to get it moving

The spend spree

The past and now

Draining the nation's resources

And the big fat civil service

It never want to stop

The cash is king

When will it end?

Unless we change

The present government

The losing plot of its life

Major issues keeping quiet

Cash is king making its round

The economic hasn't fixed it

The drainage of funds keep moving

Using GST to prop it up nicely

So it seems at the expense of the people

Cash is king

Giving the people the extra cash

It is to shut them up on major issues

So they can spend

the bad deed has to pay

The hanging rope is waiting

For the crimes happened long ago

The process will take the tortoise time

It will happen when the truth sail home

We know crimes never pay

The bad hats can escape and hide

Every time they will have to look back

Afraid the law will mark them

In the sleeping nights

The angels will sing of a time

How good it is to walk straight

No worry no afraid no fear

Once a crime has been committed

The bad deed has been done

The hanging rope is waiting

The day the time will come

the old Q pushes on

The Old Q still talks

About the current prime minister

He isn't afraid of what he said

The current leader has many baggage

Once he endorsed the candidancy

But the years he realized he made a wrong choice

The current prime minister never listen to advice

He thinks he is the lord of the people

1MDB causing us headaches and pain

The massive loan of $42 billion

The fund finds it hard to repay interest due

Many statements issued but people aren't convince

The lies to get away

The truth hardly comes to play

Even till today it is still in cloudy haze

We don't get the correct answers

Though police report made

The police catch the informants

Instead of catching the real person

It seems to block the investigation

The Old Q never give up

Though police report lodged against him

Files open to investigate

Dr M will still talk

The truth will not be cowed

It has to stand upright and be counted

Now it looks impossible

But we know the fall will come

the drug addicts

Hard drugs never pay

Once it is in you

It will take your life and money

You will lose everything

The rogue chemists will invent

All kinds of drugs to bring monies

They don't think of the side effects

They think of their own creations

The bad businessmen will bring

The hard drugs to get into the crowd

Once it has a footing of followers

The monies will keep flowing

The stupid people get hooked

It will be hard to get out of it

It will be a long process of recovery

Some say it takes 2 years on a programme

Is it worth it?

Getting addicted to hard drugs?

Beginning you may feel good

A feeling you can't replicate again

Go to a drug recovery centre

You will see how it affects the people

It is a sorry state to look at them

Wasted their lives and time

But hope is still there

They have to fight it

Though it is hard to ignore

The craze in the body

the sorry state of haze

In Langkawi

The haze makes it worst

Flights cancelled ferry services delayed

The thick white mist blanket it

The visibility is poor

The holiday makers losses

Of tours and flights

And time wasted and stranded

The angry faces at the airport

Staff get the heat of shouting matches

The passengers shouldn't blame

Tell it to Indonesia

In the white thick mist

There is another kind happened

A man rapes his friend's wife

Coming in to fondle then raped her

He threatens her

Later pay her $70

The woman can't handle it

She makes her police report

I remembered once

A murder in a highrise apartment

It was n't published in newspapers

It was to protect the image of the island

So we see

Haze brings problems

To the economy to our health

And the slow process to get it right

the outsiders

The outsiders

They write and tell us

What's wrong in our nation?

If only we come to it

The PR machinery swings in

They try to discredit it

Painting the sky cloudy

Telling us don't believe the stories

But the truth never sing

The ministers keep quiet

Even they may have known

The truth in their minds

They try to show in unity

The cohesion in their efforts

But we know it isn't true

They have something to hide

The outsiders never know

How we work and our cultures

Maybe they can fool the rural follks

But town and city folks we know better

The devil woman on the rise

In the corridor of shadows and back doors

The big red eyes glowing in the dark

And she smiles so sweetly

“Believe me children

I tell you the truth

In the ground where I lay

I listen to your woes”

But is she?

She wants to eat her cake

She isn't going to share

So we better wake up 

the thick smoke screen

The life in the sky

It seems all gone too soon

We don't see the golden lights

We see only thick smog screen

The forest fires in Indonesia

it is spinning out of control

Calling for help take ages

What now we have?

On the ground we choke

The smoke filled air floating away

Assisted by the wind

We are banned in open fields

The schools are close

The parents feel out of place

The normal routines tune upside down

Suddenly they have to stay at homes

The health effects unaccountable

People who are sick may go early

The haze chokes them slowly

Laying the micro dust in the bodies

And we have our government talking

For years it has been going on

Yet nothing concrete comes

We're still suffering since 1997

lawyers make the money

The divorce cases

The lawyers make the dough

The arguing couples losses

Even one wins the suit

It is better to settle it

Amicably through mutual consent

Then advertise it in newspapers

What will it cost?

But pride and greed

It is always the downfall

The hard earned money

It is just gone away

Though some will say

It is worth the fight in court

Throwing out dirty linen

Every one reads about it

Why not be open?

Share the assets and cash

And move on with their lives

Why still want to create fiction?

The divorce cases

Some couples get it

Others will get nothing

But the lawyers make the dough

will we go extinct?

The population on Earth

A whopping 7 billion people and counting

The growth never slows down

Even with minor wars, deaths, murders, accidents

We still hear the Earth crying silently

With earthquakes, floods and tsunami

And yet the population grows

With modern methods of birth control

The population should have slowed down

Apparently it has not till today

We wonder how did the ancient people did?

Those ancient times growth rate was slow

They had wars, territorial fights, heads hunting

Diseases, rapes, murders, accidents

Yet the population took a slow scale upwards

Now Earth feels the weight

With bad air, bad crops, polluted water

We wonder when our times will come?

The extinction of our race

We can't find cures for deadly diseases

We spend billions on research and whatnots

In the end what do have to fight for?

A temporary shelter against the deadly viruses

In the meantime we have the religious fanatics

Branding their own kind of religious fever

Killing those who don't agree with the idea

Planting fear of losing lives

History has returned to teach us

By using force in the end it will fail

The religious warlords never learn from history

In the end they too will be laid to the ground

Will there be a way?

God will return to see it

By correcting the bad ways

Living then will be much free

We don't have to worry

he will meet his fate

Parliament sitting

Important issues can't be raised

The house speaker will put it aside

He will say it isn't important

Rather he will say

It is under investigation

For so long it takes

Parliament can find the right person

The questions and answers

The person can answer and clarify

Is it that difficult to perform?

Parliament has its immunity

As many have put it

Parliament is just a rubber stamp

To make legal passages of law

Come to argument and call names

But the house speaker

He seems to take side

He should deal it objectively

Let the august house speak

What can we say?

The person wants to hide

Every authority takes sides

But he forgets he will meet his fate

in the city in the night

In the city

Of lights in the night

The women on parade

The men watch by the road

The neon signs say

“It's the sin city

What else do you want?

Pay your money get it done!”

In the back alley

The traders do business

The pimps wait for calls

Sitting there watching the flow

Now they operate

Through the websites

Avoiding the police

Calls to calls

In the city in the night

The easy money can be made

As long as you are willing to trade

Money will come in exchange

neutered dogs and cats

The rabid dogs

Take a rest for a while

Too much publicity

The dogs in the news

Vaccinations to control

The rabies sink in

Waiting for another day

When inefficiency crops up again

The strays will roam

On the streets and in the markets

Where are the animal lovers?

Why let it breed uncontrollable?

The authority must enforce

All dogs and cats must be neutered

Otherwise the owners must be fine

Too many times send to prison

Let only the commercial breeders

Engaging in breeding dogs and cats

They have the facilities and technical knowledge

To run the breeding for profits

Neuterd the dogs and cats

For all private owners

There shouldn't be any more excuses

We have to stop it now

the health diseases

Typhoid fever

Did it come as a surprise?

There many illegals

Even from legal sources

Yet are they checked?

Possibly some are done

We had heard about TB

Coming in to the nation

What do the Health Ministry do?

Waiting for the day to hit the street?

Now we have typoid fever

The back alleys way of cooking

Do the enforcement officers know?

Once a while they make surprise checks

The food handlers jabs

Maybe many haven't done

We have many bad news

Now with typoid fever in the city

Mind you we still have haze

And the dengue fever

Once something happens

The reverse actions comes to play

he can't hide forever

How long can a person hide?

Every time there is an apportunity

He will try to run and hide behind doors

Afraid to see the truth in his eyes

He can stay animated on stage

With scripts in his hand he can

Speaking like a concerned person

Behind the words there lie the bad

One lie after another

He can't keep track

So he will fall in repeating it

The fall from grace instead

Though he believes

He has the time to stay

He comes, he sees and he's gone

Behind close doors no public questions

leaving us with a bad taste

We can't let it be

Nothing should stay as it is

We have to make the changes

The nation needs it badly

The checks and balances

We talk so much about it

In truth it has been compromise

Leaving us with a bad taste

The police pick and choose

Playing politics to get into action

We have seen how it is

Playing the double standard

We can't let it be

We have to get back our dignity

The nation needs it badly

Nothing should stay as it is

the island once I stayed

The island once I stayed

Many years I soaked in the sun

Listening to the waves crashing in

Reaching out with its watery claws

The marks on the white sandy beach

Soaked under the rays of the sun

The wind kept blowing at a slow pace

The natural hammering into the sights

The rocky slopes and black stones

Under the shadows of the lazy branches

Bending low like an aerobatic stances

Let the eyes see the natural landscaping

The island once I knew

The whirring wind in my mind

Though I left her long ago

The footprints still lingering on

The developments came

Changing the landscape

In the years I left the scene

The island bloomed

But my memories stay

Listening to the call of yesterday

Once I lived on an island

The years of sweet landscapes
