Though many still attempt to assail
That Jack & Jill didn't have a pail

A LESSON FROM WORLD HISTORY
Those who refuse to learn from the positive and valuable lessons from world history

Then they are only asking for their own downfall

What's So Yellow About Yellow?
WHAT'S SO YELLOW ABOUT YELLOW?
The previous hot colour was red when some neighbouring country had its internal problem.
Now the in-colour is yellow and I'm reminded of the following:
In one song we have the famous 'yellow bird' with its freedom high up among the trees.
Then another song reminds us that we all live in the 'yellow submarine' (possibly the best way to travel around where water is deep enough whenever the major arterial roads are blocked or jammed for reasons best known to those involved either way up or down the coutry) and we'll be better off being together rather than to sink or swim separately.
One popular ballad sings of the need to tie a 'yellow ribbon' onto the tree as a sign, symbol, or message to a loved one.
It is my sincere hope that no international psychiatrist will think that so many folks have 'gone bananas' over the yellow colour (still remember young kids teasing, "Yellow, yellow, dirty fellow!"?)
Perhaps we must really pity the yellow Di Gi folks who are now in danger of being out of business or job with so much friendly competition going on around the place while some others have created or suddenly suffered such a phobia for the bright (& sometimes not so bright like beige as well in the airport) yellow colour (normally associated with 'gold' &/or royalty [eg. ceremonial umbrella] in certain countries worldwide that practically anything yellow has been condemned or even 'banned' (but until now I still don't know under which man-made law or on what logical basis and for how long?)
Can any sane, rational person ever even regard a yellow (chosen for visibility &/or safety purposes) raincoat as being a dangerous apparel when it is worn on a rain day (with or without acid rain)?
Are the Buddhist holy people no longer allowed to wear their saffron (also striking yellow) in public anymore?
What about those innocently labelled as 'yellow skinned'?
Can we humbly beg to ask, "Who is really yellow over yellow?"
May God save all His nations, whatever their colours [red & yellow, black & white - all are precious in His sight], in this world! Amen!

Call For All
CALL FOR ALL
The Lord constantly makes His call
Whether it's meant for one or all
We merely have to bounce back the ball
And He'll save us from the final fall
(C) Samuel Golh Kim Eng - 091107
Tunnel Light
TUNNEL LIGHT
Do we ever get to see the light at the end of the tunnel
When previously it was nothing but a monkey money funnel
Before eveything was covered up with really thick flannel
Everyone was led blindly downstream to this sole channel
(C) Samuel Goh Kim Eng - 091107
No Sound Ground
NO SOUND GROUND
When ordinary folks are sent off on merrygorounds
The best apparent reasons are "technical grounds"
Regardless of whether the rationale is ever sound
Honest selective applications of game rules are often found
(C) Samuel Goh Kim Eng -091107
Same Shame
SAME SHAME
Even when the cat is squeezed out of the bag
The cat and mouse game still goes on all the same
Since there are so few who will say, "What's there to brag
When so many are still around without any sense of public shame!?"

The Values Of Being Old (Ref. Sheila K - 081107)
THE VALUES OF BEING OLD
Don't be afraid to grow old
Even when things around you grow cold
Old folks are really worth a fortune
When they learn how to sing the right tune
They have silver in their hair
gold in their teeth
stones in their kidneys
and gas in their stomach
Kencing pun manis (with diabetes)
dan darah pun ada kelas - 'Tinggi' (with high blood pressure)
So let's all grow old with lace (full of holes for day and night ventilation)
brace (with wires to keep all our teeth in place)
dace (well cooked and salted with old sea salt)
maze (still remain a puzzle to many young faces) &
grace (still loved by God though we don't deserve it)
(C) Samuel Goh Kim Eng - 081107
Compose To Depose (Ref: Alfred H - 081107)
COMPOSE TO DEPOSE
Gather all your hard facts to get your own ballad composed
Then to the whole wide world let your harsh facts be exposed
To move heaven and earth till all those known to be guilty are deposed
Keep on exercising for all your God-given basic rights to be imposed
(C) Samuel Goh Kim Eng - 081107
Jackie Pullinger As Cliffhanger - (Ref. Precious - 041107)
JACKIE PULLINGER AS CLIFFHANGER
Had the privilege of hearing in DUMC Jackie Pullinger
You must read her autobiography of her past danger
Then to her mission in Hong Kong you'll be no stranger
Though she still lives life today not unlike a cliffhanger
(C) Samuel Goh Kim Eng - 081107
Memories Of Green Boots - (Ref. Precious -041107)
MEMORIES OF GREEN BOOTS
I'm reminded of my green scouting boots
Really "these boots are made for walking"
They were so rugged that I couldn't care two hoots
Since they were indeed ideal for jungle stalking

How To Unblock Blogger's Block?
HOW TO UNBLOCK BLOGGER'S BLOCK?
When you suffer from a blogger's block
You can stop looking at the clock
Jog or walk around your neighbourhood block
Refresh yourself again before switching on your mental clock

Bright Delight From Mum - (Ref. Precious)
BRIGHT DELIGHT FROM MUM
When you're so precious in your Mum's sight
She buys you 32 diamonds to your sheer delight
You can now let your imagination take flight
Mum's message to you as only daughter so bright

Floral Gifts For Lifts - (Ref. Precious- 041107)
FLORAL GIFTS FOR LIFTS
When you're a precious flower yourself
Without desiring to be put on the shelf
Better be receptive to flowers as gifts
To help boost up your life's romantic lifts

See The Big Fish Flee - 041107
SEE THE BIG FISH FLEE
When fishermen go fishing in the wide open sea
They use nets of different sizes for the fish they see
But trying to catch the biggest fish is not so easy as ABC
Since it knows how to flex its strong muscles to quickly flee
(C) Samuel Goh Kim Eng - 071107
Getting The Heart Of The Hart - 031107
GETTING THE HEART OF THE HART
Beautiful garments worn will attract attention at first glance
Yet final analysis is what's worn deep inside the heart
Even though females love to compete with what's fashionable in France
The final countdown is still how the deer gets the heart of her hart
(C) Samuel Goh Kim Eng - 071107
Gains For Drains - 011107
GAINS FOR DRAINS
Those who accumulate wealth through ill-gotten gains
Will never have their guilts washed off by the rain
Though some be sent off to modern Siberia by train
There may be others given the slip by going down the drains
(C) Samuel Goh Kim Eng
Mosquitoes With Toes And Thumbs - 011107
MOSQUITOES WITH TOES AND THUMBS
In the biggest competitions among mosquitoes
Points are awarded for stepping on each other's toes
No matter how very sober or drunk they are on rum
They are never allowed to show off their sore thumbs
(C) Samuel Goh Kim Eng - 071107
Crime & Punishment - 021107
CRIME & PUNISHMENT
With good justice, punishment only goes with convicted crime committed
And everyone is deemed innocent, in the eyes of the law, unless proven (beyond doubt) guilty
How then can unjust act be used as "preventive medicine" before a disease is fully diagnosed and submitted
With victims being denied the fair, bright, open, wholesome path of natural justice of known established quality
(C) Samuel Goh Kim Eng -071107
Who says "Crime doesn't pay!" ?
WHO SAYS "CRIME DOESN'T PAY!" ?
Have we all easily forgotten that "Crime doesn't pay!"
But justice is denied with any form of justice's gross delay
How can there be justice when criminals still have their day
When authorities couldn't care less what the concerned public say
(C) Samuel Goh Kim Eng -071107
Grass vs Weed
GRASS VS WEED
Why do you think a blade of grass becomes a weed
When after all it was grown out of a good seed
Has the grass been well nourished with its basic needs
Before being wrongly branded as belonging to the wrong breed
(C) Samuel Goh Kim Eng - 071107
Suspended Justice
SUSPENDED JUSTICE
Anywhere where natural justice is suspended
What is there left in the scales of justice?
Anytime when personal patronage is depended
What is there left in the morals of sentence?
(C) Samuel Goh Kim Eng - 071107
The Meek Shall Seek - 021107 (Reposted)
THE MEEK SHALL SEEK
In the children's game of hide and seek
You do your best to hide and I try my best to seek
Hider will try to bully any seeker who's mild and meek
Yet seeker sometimes still wins hands down with merely a peek
(C) Samuel Goh Kim Eng - 071107
Blogger Under Attack - Wed. 5th Nov. 2007
BLOGGER UNDER ATTACK - (Ref. Taxing 1 2 3...)
Until now I'm still wondering why O why
Whether to really actually laugh or cry
When hacker(s) suddenly dropped by
As though by instruction from the sky

Seeing Beyond Hindsight - (Ref. Alfred H)
SEEING BEYOND HINDSIGHT
How very sad but true when those you turn to for help in return only mull
There's none so blind as those with blinkered eyes that don't see you in sight
With ears that won't hear or listen at all to whatever your situation and plight
With hardened hearts that don't bother or care, except for lip service like that of bull
