I no longer be

Thunder in the sky, 
a hail of brimstone fire, 
that which was I, 
now no more afire.

Adieu the midnight sun, 
the battered wail of days, 
veiled magnificent puns, 
the wild word plays.

The sheer benevolence, 
damned intransigence, 
puerile pretense, 
raged indignation.

I no longer be.

An Ode to MH17 (The Arrival)



















Atop lonely asphalt
anxious vessels land
with cargo most precious
as sorrowed tarmac waits

ramp dipped finality clanked
sombre miened men marched
bearing beloved remains
loved ones and friends

their dignified trudge
closure to saddened hearts
the coffins bearing more
than just mortal flesh

sweet tender memories
glorious tales of life
their smile filled hearts
and others they had touched

as our beloved return
remember their precious gifts
and may the Almighty
bless their souls with peace.

Bangunlah media Malaysia

Bila dengar, derap sepatu
gerun seru, teriakan soldadu
bila riuh, keriuk rantai belenggu
bangunlah wahai, rakan mediaku.

Hayun kaki, hentakan nan padu
Geramm rasa, dada menderu
kita tuju, revolusi baru
bina kebebasan, media Malaysiaku.

Dalam diam, membakar sekam
semangat kental, kita sulam
ayuh bangun, ayuhlah serang
Ini masa kita, bina gelombang.

Dalam Geramm, berganding semua
alternatif, atau arus perdana
elektronik, cetak, online jua
kita media, bebas bersama.


~ A love letter to the Malaysian media, in the mode of the late Tok Mat's patriotic songs of the the 80s/90s~

Malukan agama, bangsa, negara

Gah Melayu budi bicara
Gah Islam mulia azam
Gah Malaysia manis senyuman

Tiada Melayu biadap laku
Tiada Islam kesumat dendam
Tiada Malaysia sahsiah edan

Bila haiwan jadi mainan
darah pekat dibuat laknat
tampar wanita jadi siaga
hilang sudah sinar jannah

Yang kritik rentetan taktik
langkah katik mala'un fanatik
Sebar ajaran sesat fikiran
malukan bangsa, agama, negara.
