BUANASENI

THE WORD, FATHER

The Father, Wow! That's some word;

Yet, I was no more than a steward;

I merely affirm and bring forward;

What was ignored by some cowards (banks);

They asked, "Jo, anywords?";

I said, "Yo! GDP goes upwards!";

They mocked, "Jo, it ain't  standard";

I urge, "Yo! So What? You bastards!";

The Nasi Lemak shop, gets funds awarded;

The dancers and painters, they got discarded;

Given up hopes, our young and talented;

(But) Fuckin Koreans, they kept things minted;

My, my, how we've been backwards;

Let me show you, how things are chorded;

My, my, the right brain is crowded;

Let's get it shined and get it funded.

The Watch, the Clock and the Dawn

Here is a present

Here is a watch

Time for us is inherent

And preciously forged

Here is a gift

Here is a clock

The sand falls swift

And our destinies unlock

Here is a tribute

Here is the dawn

The ever devine attribute

And our stories are borne

What have I got to repay?

When sorrow burns me into a hardened clay

Alas, time has passed and away

Half a century one may say

Leaving no more space to play

And I shall cry everyday

Waiting to be flown away

Here is a present

Here is a gift

Here is a tribute

To men and their lives

Resting in the hour glass

Waiting for the last grains to flush

And may we end in just

Jauhari Out the Window

I shall tell them,

What they do not know,

.... that they do not know

For they do not know,

.... what they do not know

But it seems quite known,

.... that they do not know,

.... what they do not know

And rather trickily known

.... that how can they know,

.... what they do not know,

.... when they do not know,

.... what they do not know?

I do not know

But what I do know

.... is that I know

That they do not know,

.... what they do not know

So, I shall tell them just that

What they do not know,

.... that they do not know

For I am in the know

Do you know what I mean?

I do not think that you know

So, know now

..... but I Ain't Free from Sins and Darkness Thoughts

I want to sail to the edge of the World

But I ain't a sailor with a mighty can of spinach

I want to fly to the dark side of the moon

But I ain't a flying pig whose crazy diamond shines

I want to catch all the shooting stars in the sky

But I ain't the little prince full of magical imaginations

I want to scale the arpeggios from hell

But I ain't the Viking whose fingerboard is scalloped

I want to free everyone from the sufferings of this life

But I ain't Atlas whose shoulders bear gigantic sphere

I want to own all the fame and appreciation

But I ain't the Dutch whose ear he cut and gave to the prostitute

I want to be wealthy and buy all that money can

But I ain't the man who sold the world to the Devil

I want to die peacefully and ascend to the heavens where the Angels are .....

 Mega Merah

Lihat itu langit,

Mega-mega merah tadi hilang

Menggelaplah dunia

Unggas pun kembali ke sarangnya

Muncullah ribuan serangga

Mengerliplah bintang-bintang jauh

Datangnya pula kesyahduan malam

Kemeriahan Cengkerik

Dan kemerdekaan mentari

Walaupun empat puluh ribu saat

Tetap ia akan kembali

Mencurahkan baktinya kepada insani

Memangkinkan bunga seri pagi

Dan meleraikan embun pagi

Maka bersabarlah kita semua

Kerana setiap kesedihan itu

Pasti ada mentarinya

Lihat itu langit,

Mega-mega merah semalam kembali

Cock Slavery

Meow! Meow!

Meow! Meow!

Meow! Meow!

It calls

Meow! Meow!

Says the pussy

So, it stares at you

Gleamingly and inviting

Your jaw instantly drops

Drooling of smelly saliva

The bastard dogs you are

Can't get your mind off it

Invading your cerebrum

Smashing it like oats

Shaving your wallets

Draining your little pathetic soul

As if your existence

Is nothing more

Than a puppet

Dancing away

To the strings

The melody

And slavery

Meow!

Meow! Meow!

Meow! Meow!

Malkovich Trauma

It's four in the morning

I woke up to a weird dream

John Malkovich was in it

All he had to do was,

... scream "Fuck You"

And I was instantly awaken

The aircond was too cold

So, I switched to the fan

Then I was sweating

My eyes were still wide open

The tummy growled

The damn gastric juice triggered

Down the staircase I went

Heading for the refrigerator

Devoured three pieces of Tim Tam

And gulps of low sugar Vitagen

That'll do the trick

I should be able to doze off

But hang on

One Sampoerna cigarette had to be lit

That aroma of cloves

Aimed to be a closure

But, no ....

My eyes were still wide open

Perhaps masturbation would work?

(Commercial Break)

Oh! It did not work!

Damn! I am tired and sleepy

Yet the eyes were still wide open

Suddenly, from outside the window,

.... the mosque projected the Azan

Oh! Time to start the day again

This time, with a media presentation,

.... to the board of some palm oil association

And that is when,

My eyes would fall asleep

"Blimmey!"

The Sea Utters, "I Return Back What is Yours"

Along came the storm

Blowing from the far out straits

Bringing with it the death whispers

Shaking the palm trees

Shivering down to its roots

The waves roared in anger

And the rain drops 

.... like a thousand missiles

A judgement has been made

Damning humanity to its core

And soon it is discovered

A profound reminder of sort

Speechless and jaw dropping

A realisation that is overdue

Yet still no repentance

As the ocean returns to us

A pile of plastic manufactured artifacts

That we had wrongfully cast out

As if Nasa had found a second Earth

I Pay My Taxes

I pay my taxes

And they spent it on RM100 million worthless privacy breaching covid-19 application

I pay my taxes

And they decided to not regularise oil prices when we are a net oil exporting nation

I pay my taxes

Only to foot the bills for RM100 billion civil service salaries out of a mere RM380 billion annual budget

I pay my taxes

Yet no affirmative actions are taken to protect local industry as it is being raped by Facebook, Google and Youtube

I pay my taxes....

What the hell!

Why am I paying my taxes again?

Every flower has its bee

Every cloud has its rain

Every mountain has its rivers

Every ocean has its tide

Every land has its seasons

Every farmer has his dog

Every man has his woman

Every Romeo has his Juliet

Every castle has its king

Every sith has his jedi

Every war has its regrets

Every sorrow has its joy

Every pain has its gain

Every fall has its rise

Every event has its nostalgia

Every life has its soul

Every soul has a God

The Disgraced Madinsanity

The climb that reaches the summit

The dive that touches the floor

The jump that pumps the adrenalin

The acceleration that hits 100

The punch that knocks down the opponent

The strum that vibrates the notes

The scream that scares the dogs

The erection that wets the pussy

The feast that hikes the sugar

The war that rapes humanity

The war that rapes humanity

The fucking war that rapes the fucking humanity

Forgotten, Have We?

And we forget

When the sun used to shine

The birds used to chirp

The meadows bloomed all yellow

In that absence

We continue our journeys

Crawling over cold black stones

Showering with chilling acid rain

Swearing at each other

As if we are different animals

Minding our own fortunes

That in itself becomes the opium

Fuelling our damned lives

Never to consider a turn

When the sign board offers the way

For salvation and a chance

And we still forget

The sweetness of that sun, birds and meadows

That we ought to seek

That we should have embraced

That we must not forget

The Promised Land

Go back, go home

Where you came from

You bloody Penangites!

Go back to your promised land

For you are the people of the island

And your tongue desires the spices

And your feet longed the ocean splashes

Have you not any love and desire to go?

To walk the streets of Gelugor

Or to scream, swear and hate

At the motorist with 'P' plates?

Go home, go wander

You bloody islander

Nothing less than RM300 per square feet

And certainly anything more would be great

Distrust, Loath and Disbelief

Do we trust the person who is looking for an answer?

.... and distrust the person who says he has found the answer?

For the questions with no answers we should desire,

.... and loath the answers that we cannot question

Are we to find faith?

.... and if so, must we first be in disbelief?

Because when we have faith,

.... we are already certainly bias

So, those are the questions we are faced,

.... for trust, desire and faith

Or,

.... for distrust, loath and disbelief

As the Fair Sun Sets Today

As the Fair Sun sets today

It shimmers across His Milky Way

Ending Ramadhan as it bows to Pray

Closing books accepting No More pay 

It submits well to sacrifice its Ray

Allowing the Moon to Eclipse in its way

But what does Humanity have to say?

When Rafa is Blackened with forays

And its sky in Penumbra haze

Nevermind the Dead under the gray

For they are Martyrs as when they Lay

Leaving the Universe for God to slay

As the Sun rises on Judgement day

And I Shall Bow Down

Let the mighty light shine and glow

Melting away the dirty old snow

And may the flowers bloom on the meadow

So that the birds sing in the borough

I shall stand tall and thorough

Realising the blessings I can no longer borrow

Forgiveness I seek in the shadow

The darkness that juxtapose goodness halo

Let alone like in the gallow

As if deprived of any hello

For a soul that is mellow

So that I shall direct the flying arrow

To the eye of sorrow

Let the dreams follow

Soothing with bees black and yellow

In the garden of tomorrow

Where hope is set to grow

For me to prostrate in awe
