THE UNANSWERED QUESTION

Tuesday, December 21, 2021 at 10:59 PM

The Unanswered Question

The sky is blue
But when you go into the orbit
It is black
The Earth is sphere
But when you go to Antarctica
You don't fall to Venus
The soul is intangible
But when your heart breaks
It feels like being slashed by blades
Humanity is cruel
Yet God created humanity
There are questions unanswered
Do they need to be answered (now)?
For it shall come when the time is right
For you to uncover truth
The sky is still blue
(Even when you wonder)
Who cares why
Just accept that the sky is blue
Because blue is a better sky
Than a black one
The time shall come
For answers to be revealed

SELEPAS BANJIR PILU

Monday, December 20, 2021 at 10:16 AM


Selepas Banjir Pilu

Langit masih lagi kelabu
Diselubungi kalbu biru
Habis semua haru-biru
Manusia pun berkecelaru
Berlari dari bah yang pilu
Kita bertanya apa salahlaku?
Dosa dan hidup berliku
Bila malapetaka di pintu
Yang redha dan yang sendu
Semuanya pasti berlaku
Mengingati apa yang diperlaku
Dan kekurangan terdahulu
Kini melawat kita yang tak mampu
Meneruskan hidup merapu
Menantikan hujan untuk berlalu
Mengharapkan apa yang perlu
Selepas banjir yang pilu

Itulah Bapak

Besar hatinya 
 ... bagaikan Galaksi Bima Sakti 
Luas pengalamannya 
... bagaikan Lautan Pasifik
Tinggi kesusilaannya 
... sepuncak Gunung Himalaya 
Jauh pandangannya 
... dikerdip Planet Kejora 
Luhur jiwanya 
... bersinar bak Super Nova 
Putih rambutnya 
... sebersih salju Antartika 
Itulah Bapak
Penyumbang baka
Agar aku bertanda-aras
Berpadi bernas

WAIT AND IT SHALL COME

Wait and it Shall Come

Let the night laugh at you
Let the loneliness creep in
Let the memories disappear
Let it go from your thoughts
Let us face what is to come
Let the heart wander
Let the heart wonder
Let it be thousands of ways
Let it be easy to say love words
Let it be easy to let go
Let the passion be embraced
Let it not come to past 
 .... for the grace of God 
 .... shall bring for you 
 .... the one

Pejamkan Mata Wahai Mak

Wahai Mak
Pejamkanlah mata
Lihatlah mimpi-mimpi indah
Usah dirisau masalah dunia
Usah dihirau rendang di dapur
Senyumlah sepuasnya
Bayangkan yang molek belaka
Dan sampingkan ia dengan doa
Agar apabila dibuka mata
Menyerlah dunia
Bersama Bapak dan anak-anak
Bersama menantu dan cucu-cucu
Yang riang selalu
Berkat doamu Mak

Mim Lam Ya Wau

Melayu layu
Disekehnya kepala
Masih tersenyum tersengih
Macam kerang busuk
Melayu puyu
Digemparnya jiwa
Masih percayakan jembalang
Macam keluar hutan
Melayu sayu
Diherdiknya muka
Masih meroyan di Facebook
Macam kera gila
Melayu
Sedarlah diri
Kontemporarikan diri
Bangunlah dengan gah
Dan tebuskanlah maruah
Jangan layu, puyu dan sayu

HUJAN NOVEMBER

Monday, November 22, 2021 at 12:08 PM

Hujan November

November hampir akhir
Seperti biasa hujan tak kenal malu
Dia kunjung membasahi kita
Kita merungut
Sampai bila kita merana?
Kita berdoa agar dibawa pergi
.... hantu-hantu kemanusiaan
Agar bersinar kembali kota
Agar kita membelakangkan
.... sejarah hitam dan kejam
Yang dahulunya menggilakan otak
Sehingga kita dilanyak dipresi
Kita sememangnya di dalam ketakutan
Merisaukan hidup ini rebah
Menjadi pusara tamadun gah kita
Melenyapkan harga diri
Dan menjatuhkan nilai bangsa
Ayuh kita bermuhasabah
November sebenarnya rahmat
Kita terima hujanMu itu
Agar sejuk dan bersih
Kembali putih harapan buana

THE WALL THAT SHOULD NOT BE

at 12:13 AM

The Wall That Should Not Be

Stop those tears
And that cry baby wah! wah!
Ain't no one gonna help you
When you build the wall around you
If you cry for the sun
You'll end up missing the stars
And you'll be out of words
They go hiding in your brains
You'll be in silence alone
Not knowing what to say
A man can drown with his head down
Yet not knowing all he had to do,
Was to lift his head up
Split yourself if you must
And reconnect when you have to
Cut away that black soul
Yet embrace it when it's time
What you think is your strength
Is what you'll find you'll be weak in
And what weakness you have
Shall emerge as your strength
Break that wall.and out you crawl
Stand straight and tall
Like you are above all
Break that damn wall
That you must ...

THE WOODEN RABBIT OF 1975

Sunday, November 21, 2021 at 2:53 AM

The Wooden Rabbit of 1975

Run Rabbit to your hole
Hide your sorrow face
And face your inner foe
Let yourself drown in madness
Let your fears crowd your sanity
Creep yourself into your crib
Stay alone
Be alone
To hell with society (you say)
And be free from complexity
For you have had enough
For you ain't want no more
Of the expectations of the world
And the punishment that life gives
Run Rabbit Run
Run to your hole
And be stiff as the wood
And grief if you would

The Cat by the Brick Wall

In the darkness of the night
The luna whispers a story of hope
Where the lemon sun is to shine
And the daddies rush for their office
While the kids run to school
In the gardens, the bugs roam
On the fields, the farmers toil
All in the pursuit of something
Before the arrival of the dusk
But the cat?
He doesn't give a damn
About anything

The Right Brain is Beautifully Arrogant

I do not give a rat's ass about perception
I do not care what people are saying
I do not mind others' opinion
I do not think in a myopia
I just do it, period
Chaotic it may seem
But awesome it may be
The manifestation of beauty
The soul from within, illuminates
Leaving behind a legacy of creativity

PENGHUJUNG TAWARIKH INSAN TERPILIH 

Pemergian itu amat sedih
Bagaikan duri yang menusuk pedih
Di hati kita ini berlumur serpih
Mengenangkan terdahulunya selisih
Kami belum sempat berterima kasih
Atau menatap apabila kau menoleh
Maka berdoa kami agar takwim(mu) bersih
Dan legasi(mu) dicatat tawarikh
Semoga kaulah insan yang terpilih
Sehendaknya kau dikalangan yang solih
Sewajarnya ingatlah kita yang meremeh
Sesungguhnya Tuhan itu Maha Pengasih

Aku zahirkan keluar dari topiku
Kau nak wang Ringgit?
Aku taburkan
Kau nak wangi-wangian?
Aku semburkan
Kau nak kain berwarna-warni
Aku pakaikan
Kau nak karpet merah menyala?
Aku hamparkan
Biarkan kau hanyut di lautan keduniaan
Tapi ingat!
Kau akan terhutang budi dengan aku
Kau akan jadi milik aku

THE ART OF FRIENDSHIP

The Art of Friendship

You count the years
And you wonder
How did this friendship last?
And when you recollect
Those memories
You'll find the answers
Screaming to each other
But laughing together
Long faces to each other
But faced problems together
Spread and split across the globe
But never to miss
..... a Happy Birthday wish
Say F you to each other
But never to be offended either
You count the years
And they go by the decades
Like a 40 year old oil paint
..... that never stops drying

Tangkap! Tangkap! Tangkap!
Hai! Mana kau mau lari?
Dulu bukan main gah
Ketawa terbahak-bahak
Matanya terbeliak
Pancung! Pancung! Pancung!
Sini kau aku ikat
Baru kau tau rasa lemah
Menggelupur meronta-ronta
Meraung-raung ketakutan
Bunuh! Bunuh! Bunuh!
Ini ajal kau sudah tiba
Usah kau fikirkan lagi
Terimalah seadanya
Kau aku nyahkan

KASUT

KASUT

Kasut itu kita harus pakai
Kasut itu sememangnya bukan milik kita
Kasut itu sebagai buat peringatan
Kasut itu seringkali tidak muat
Kasut itu kita sumbatkan juga kaki
Kasut itu akan merendahkan diri
Kasut itu membuahkan kesabaran
Kasut itu bukan maxima tapi optima
Kasut itu kita pakai buat jiwa
Kasut itu memaksa timbang rasa
Kasut itu melekatkan kaki ke bumi
Kasut itu tiada melayang ke langit
Kasut itu kita harus pakai
Kasut itu kita hayati

ISINYA TENGKORAK

Kalau langit itu seperiuk nasi
Percayalah kita ini kerak yang hangus
Dibahang api menyala
Kita memanjat bersungguh
Tujuh petala di atas tengkorak kita
Kononnya berhak menerima ganjaran
Belum tentu dikurniaNya
Belum tentu penerimaanNya
Hitamnya dahi menerkam lantai
Hitam juga hati ditikam lalai
Hal orang bergembur lafaz di bibir
Tulang sendiri? Senget skoliosis
Kelakar manusia ini
Kalau boleh rambut dihijaunya
Bibir digincunya ungu
Berjenaka dan bersandiwara
Langsung lupa angan-angan asal
Memanjat tujuh petala tadi
Memanjat tujuh petala tadi?
Kelakar apakah ini?
Tengkoraknya berisi ulat dan nanah
Jiwanya tengit busuk menusuk
Mungkin sebab itu kita siksa
Diserang kuman dan ke-tidak-siuman-an
