Macam dulu-dulu
Duduk rumah Mak
Maklah yang buat kopi
Maklah yang hidang nasi
Maklah yang basuh baju
Kita bagai kembali anak-anak
Dimanjakan Mak
Sekali harung dengan cucu-cucunya
Apabila di tepi tembok,
.... kita menghisap rokok
.... kita menenung Mak
.... dia di dalam dapur
.... matanya menitis kesunyian
Teringatkan Bapaklah tu
Apabila di tepi tembok,
.... kita tunduk
.... menerima seadanya

ROTTEN PIZZA

Life ain't perfect
Life's a bitch
You assume too much
You expect too much
And all you'll only get
Is just a pile of shit,
... and a rotten pizza
With no hesitation
To ignore gratification
Of what good you had
Of what blessings you took
Did you not see?
The absence of promise?
Be it for happiness,
.... or for perfection
For that ignorance
... will suffice,
For you to bitch
About everything in life

WOKE UP TO A NIGHTMARE

I was in a horrible gun fight
Bullets flying around
One hit me in the chest
Crimson blood splashed
I fell onto the concrete floor
Crying in pain and agony
Flashing images of my sons
They smiled yet they cried
As they, whoever they are,
.... rushed me to the hospital
I grasped tightly a key in my hand
That shall unlock my apartment door
Giving way to my assets
To be divided among the family
A few guitars and art pieces
Half dozen pairs of Converse
A stack of unread books
And a Rolex from my father
I closed my eyes wide shut
In the darkness I saw light
Calling me to cross over
And when I did,
I immediately woke up
Gasping the thin air violently
With dripping sweat,
.... and the heart pounding
I looked at the watch by my bed side
It says 6:00 a.m.
Much to my relief
The Azan filled the air
Calling for prayers
From a nearby mosque
