Will It Be "No Walk But Talk" Or "Walk & Talk"?

WILL IT BE "NO WALK BUT TALK" OR "WALK & TALK"?

If the feet cannot in public walk

Then it'll be mouth cannot in private talk

Yet there's boast to "walk the talk"

When in reality it's "talk the walk"

Mutual Respect For Personal Opinions - (Ref:DrMM)

MUTUAL RESPECT FOR PERSONAL OPINIONS

While I may not agree totally with everything you say

I'll still defend your basic right to say so any day

For I respect your right to your own personal opinion

With the same expectation that you'll also respect how I eat my own onion

Justice As Victor - (Ref:NewM)

JUSTICE AS VICTOR

Let justice be the final victor

Leaving aside all other factor

Without the need of any actor

Except correct medicine cum doctor

Multiple Taxes Through 'Indirect" Taxes?

MULTIPLE TAXES THROUGH "INDIRECT" TAXES?

Paying direct tax is straight forward

Paying "indirect" taxes is pretty awkward

Since it's really like paying additional taxes based on consumption

That will eventually add up to quite a sum in monthly contribution

Talk Not Walk? - (Ref:BernardK)

TALK NOT WALK?

Now it's feet cannot in public walk

Next it's mouth cannot in private talk

Yet there's boast to "walk the talk"

When in reality it's "talk the walk"

Use Brain And Not Brawn - (Ref:DrChua)

USE BRAIN AND NOT BRAWN

Let's hope people use more brain than brawn

When there's now a brand new political dawn

Whereby police are not to be used anymore as pawn

With wise decisions and not stupid 'justifications' drawn

Great Demand To Be In Command - (Ref:SusanL)

GREAT DEMAND TO BE IN COMMAND

Political musical chairs are in such demand

Sometimes we lose track of who's in command

Though we are often reminded of those in remand

We pray that only best people are in place to command

Fri. 30th May 2008.

No Eyes To See? - (Ref:MIS)

NO EYES TO SEE?

There is none so very blind

As he who refuses or can't see

Beyond the bloody concrete sea

With only injustice and brutality to find

No Escape From Laws - (Ref:BernardK)

NO ESCAPE FROM LAWS

There are man-made laws

And God's eternal divine laws

Even if the culprits escape earthly laws

They can never run away from the Creator's laws

Have Expression To Avoid Depression - (Ref:Haris)

HAVE EXPRESSION TO AVOID DEPRESSION

It's healthy to have a hearty discussion

As long as there's no designed repercussion

Without any denial of the freedom of expression

That will lead to any serious blogger's depression

Don't Deny What's Urgent - (Ref:TonyP)

DON'T DENY WHAT'S URGENT

What is urgent or not

Mustn't be tied in a knot

That nobody can knock

Or kick to open the lock

You Can't Get In With All The Din - (Ref:NewM)

YOU CAN'T GET IN WITH ALL THE DIN

When someone draws a line to keep me out

I draw a bigger circle to bring him in

No war is really won simply with a loud shout

No entry is gained to heaven with narrow mindedness as sin

How To Draw The Fine Line? - (Ref:SusanL)

HOW TO DRAW THE FINE LINE?

How does one draw the line

Between what's wrong and fine

With justice so difficult to define

Plus claims that everything is mine

To Be Engaged And Not Enraged - (Ref:MarinaM)

TO BE ENGAGED AND NOT ENRAGED

I have a very serious problem with my latest 'engagement'

Not knowing exactly where to wear my engagement 'ring'

When I get such an open offer to be engaged to the 'government'

I'm not too sure if this is another 'national service' or 'sting'?

No Escape From God's Justice - (Ref:NatT)

NO ESCAPE FROM GOD'S JUSTICE

Watch out for anyone who's a law unto himself

Thinking that he's not answerable to anyone else

Just let him wait for the God of Justice Himself

To pass judgment and sentence on the criminal or else...

Game Enough To Play A Fair Game? - (Ref:JeffO)

GAME ENOUGH TO PLAY A FAIR GAME?

All must play by the rules of the game

With the rules being applied all the same

Whether or not one is a knight or a dame

Still don't be notorious in wrong search of fame

Only Special Tree Branch Is 'Special'?

ONLY SPECIAL TREE BRANCH IS 'SPECIAL'?

What so special about being special

When on equal footing we can be so casual

With our equal rights we have more values to treasure

Why then the need to be labelled 'special' just to be substantial?

Anyone For Free Tea? - (Ref:RockyB)

ANYONE FOR FREE TEA?

Guess who's coming for tea

Whether or not it's for free

Tue. 27th May 2008.

Choose Blogs Or Be Like Frogs - (Ref:SusanL)

CHOOSE BLOGS OR BE LIKE FROGS

Or to remain forever under the coconut shells like some frogs

How To Decide What's Fair Or Unfair? - (Ref:JeffO)

HOW TO DECIDE WHAT'S FAIR OR UNFAIR?

What's fair to you may be unfair to me

Which 'Ward' Is Right For You? - (Ref:Kit)

WHICH 'WARD' IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

When most people have taken a big step forward

There are still some who choose to take three steps backward

Since they feel they can't really measure up and feel awkward

Thinking too hard on the best choice of hospital's ward

http://MotivationInMotion.blogspot.com

Tue. 27th May 2008.

What Age Are We In Now? - (Ref:TonyP)

WHAT AGE ARE WE IN NOW?

We don't need a parliamentary "Mind Your Language"

Let There Be Freedom In Kingdoms - (Ref:BlogTogether)

LET THERE BE FREEDOM IN KINGDOMS

While most of us know the goodness of freedom

The same may not be true of the autocrats and dictators

Since those with religion understand the earthly and heavenly kingdoms

Those who deny others their freedom bark on the wrong factors

Greatest Enemy Within Is Oneself - (Ref:RockyB)

GREATEST ENEMY WITHIN IS ONESELF

The greatest enemy within is always onself

With all the self-doubts and self-denials stacked on the shelf

Far too often with what's being perceived

Declared readily as already being received

To See All Beyond The Sea? - (TeresaK)

TO SEE ALL BEYOND THE SEA?

To be fair to the agency

We'll practise 'Wait & See'

For it's always the tendency

To hide certain things in the sea

Don't Count Marbles Too Soon - (Ref:TianC)

DON'T COUNT MARBLES TOO SOON

Please don't count your marbles before they are in your pocket

Otherwise you'll be embarassed when they are found in another packet

You certainly don't want to be famous for covering up with the wrong blanket

Or to try to hide your entire own face with a fanciful borrowed jacket

Be In Right Cup To Sup - (Ref:Kit)

BE IN RIGHT CUP TO SUP

The best advice is "When in doubt, shut up!"

Sometimes we still live in the wrong tea cup

There are even times when like little dear pup

We will need to feed on big chunk as small sup

New Broom For Room - (Ref:BernardK)

NEW BROOM FOR ROOM

A house is not really your own home

If there's no free access to every room

Don't be overdependent merely on the dome

When you can totally sweep clean with new broom

Shallow Thinking Becomes Hollow - (Ref:NurainaAS)

NARROW THINKING BECOMES HOLLOW

When thinking becomes far too narrow

It simply invites unnecessary sorrow

Base on perceived thoughts which are basically hollow

And rationale that's easily deemed as being shallow

Reach Out To Those Down And Out - (Ref:BernardK)

REACH OUT TO THOSE DOWN AND OUT

It's not easy to reach out to those down and out

Even for politicians in parliament who 'scream and shout'

For not enough people care as to what it's all about

When they're too busy being involved in other bouts

Final Bell For Wrongdoers - (Ref:NatT)

FINAL BELL FOR WRONGDOERS

Right or wrong, only time will tell

If all wrongdoers finally go to hell

When they hear their own final bell

Whether or not they live through a cell

A Quick Understanding Of Law - (Ref:DrMM)

A QUICK UNDERSTANDING OF LAW

When it comes to law we have:-
Law makers
Law interpreters
Law enforcers
Law breakers

However, from time to time, they play their "Musical Chairs" game

Whether or not strictly for personal gain or national fame

At times they even scorch the entire earth with excessive flame

Until observers are wondering what on earth they are doing in "what's the name"

Fear Not Fears Over All These Years - (Ref:HarisI)

FEAR NOT FEARS OVER ALL THESE YEARS

HATE SPEECH TO CEASE

Before all parties involved reach the stage to decease

Saturday, May 24, 2008

Collective Or Individual Motive? (Ref:NatT)

COLLECTIVE OR INDIVIDUAL MOTIVE?

Whatever may be one's political motive

Is linked to what one wants to believe

Don't Give Up Wrong For A Song - (Ref:Kit)

DON'T GIVE UP WRONG FOR A SONG

Quite a number of people really know what's going on

It's a question of whether there's a sellout for a song

With political bias on things all along known to be wrong

Let's hope it's not too late to keep the citizens strong

To Protect Sanctity Or Sanity? - (Ref:TianC)

TO PROTECT SANCTITY OR SANITY?

Whether to protect the sanctity of the august house

Or the sanity of the electrolates with or without 'mouse'

With noisy disputes it's easy to mistaken that there's a session of bouse

Giving rise to attempts to bring out the wet blanket for a public douse

http://MotivationInMotion.blogspot.com

Thur. 22nd May 2008.

From Impossible To Possible - (Ref:MarinaM)

FROM IMPOSSIBLE TO POSSIBLE

Non-life threatening "bombs" are bearable

As long as we live in a society that's tolerable

While we continue to respect what each is still capable

Of doing what's previously thought impossible

Scorn The Torn - (Ref:DrMM)

SCORN THE TORN

When there's a torn in the flesh

It's more than a corn that's fresh

For no one's born with all the cash

Over disputes using horns to clash

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

Why Questions Are Amended - (Ref:TonyP)

WHY QUESTIONS ARE AMENDED

When there's too much hidden agenda to hide and conceal

No sensible question posed will receive any fair and good deal

There're still plenty of societal ills for all of us to heal

Let's try to tackle them wholesale or as piecemeal

Too Much Spying Around - (Ref:DrChua)

TOO MUCH SPYING AROUND

Let's not have one spy too many

For out in the field there's too much honey

That will bring much reward and plenty of money

When there's too much exposure of any right bunny

Party Above Self - (Ref:DrChua)

PARTY ABOVE SELF

It's indeed noble to put party above self

Even if it means putting oneself on the shelf

Since the party still provides a safety shell

To help keep off all offensive and dirty smell

The Ink That Not Only Sinks But Stinks - (Ref:HarisI)

THE INK THAT NOT ONLY SINKS BUT STINKS

Before the black ink finds its way to the sink

Examine carefully all the ink-stained links

Which may disappear faster than your blink

And still bold enough at the laws wink

Never from a molehill a mountain grown

Time To Teach And Preach To Watchers - (Ref:SusanL)

It's time now for more confessions to the preachers

Praying also we have fair share of quality teachers

Don't Be Wobbly As You Lobby - (Ref:DrMM)

DON'T BE WOBBLY AS YOU LOBBY

Once you have mastered the art to lobby

You can have a very well rewarding hobby

To better learn from any US marshal than a London bobby

Getting everything right and not be regarded as a dobby

Which Leader Now? - (Ref:NatT)

WHICH LEADER NOW?

In the popular children's game "Follow the leader"

It's getting more confused as to the real "leader"

Since many followers want their turn to be "leader"

Do they have to draw lots or pay to be the "leader"?

Catch Your Call On Your Fall

CATCH YOUR CALL ON YOUR FALL

Every time you experience a fall

Faith To Get Well

FAITH TO GET WELL

Be thankful for having Jesus Christ to heal

Besides having medical professionals in your health deal

You need to have a sincere, solid, strong faith to seal

When you go to the Lord with your health problem to appeal

AN EASY WAY TO PRAY

If you know how to play

Then you can also pray

Just open your mouth to say

What You want in God's mind to stay

The Ink That Leaves Its Stink Behind - (Ref:SusanL)

THE INK THAT LEAVES ITS STINK BEHIND

As to what's happening to the black ink most of us won't have any inkling

Some privileged people will the privilege of staring at it and keep on blinking

Praying hard that a suitable solution can be found before it becomes more stinking

A simple reminder that more thoughts should have been there with right thinking

Sunday, May 18, 2008

Upsets Over Bench Sets - (Ref:LuciaL)

UPSETS OVER BENCH SETS

For all those people in the political net

With the laws they have taken heavy bets

To get their versions of best bench sets

Perhaps it's now time to pay their debts

Instant Wealth Distributions - (Ref:GeneralElections)

INSTANT WEALTH DISTRIBUTIONS

When you want political goodies

Think of the general elections

With games of legal footsies

There'll be financial 'corrections'

Black Ink Leaving Behind A Black Mark - (Ref:StupidM)

BLACK INK LEAVING BEHIND A BLACK MARK

It's now red marks for the election's proposed black ink

Swinging between 'decision' and 'suggestion' it simply sinks

Not taking into account how the stories to it are linked

Will the black 'liquid gold' fast become a white elephant before the next wink?

Say 'No' To All Unjust Laws - (Ref: Malaysiakini)

SAY 'NO' TO ALL UNJUST LAWS

When any country gives its own people the very best

There is definitely no need for any form of unrest

With real justice visibly seen and not given in jest

Then every citizen will be happy with his own nest

How Much More To Pay? - (Ref:TianC)

HOW MUCH MORE TO PAY?

Even when such a high price has been paid

We still haven't willingly fully learn

What else can be done beyond what has been said

Will be what concerned parents dearly yearn

No Escape For Wrongdoers - (Ref:ZorroU)

NO ESCAPE FOR WRONGDOERS

Let's pray that justice will take its natural course

With all those wronged having their own recourse

Giving The Citizens A Voice - (Ref:HarisI)

GIVING THE CITIZENS A VOICE

We have to admire the man who sticks to his guns

He has his own strict principles and fair share of fun

Away from his stated objectives you won't find him run

He will always have his own space under the universal sun

More Lamps Needed In Camp - (Ref:NatT)

MORE LAMPS NEEDED IN CAMP

Why send teenagers to the camp

That's not bright with any lamp

Sending most parents' spirit damp

Knocking over too many a hazardous ramp

How Low Can You Go?

HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

Just when you think you have a fantastic scoop

You have uniformed people coming after you to snoop

Making you wonder just how low some people will stoop

Short of bringing in the entire legal persecuting troop

A Hard Card To Play - (Ref:Writer)

A HARD CARD TO PLAY

Practically every leader plays the racial card

Whether or not the political mask has been fully blown

Distractions Leading To Hibernation? (Ref:Kit)

DISTRACTIONS LEADING TO HIBERNATION?

Why fuzz over small harmless technical issues

When more important matters requiring immediate action

Are kept aside 'until further notice' like used tissues

Acting like distractions that border soon on hibernation

Take The Rap And Wear The Cap - (Ref:ZorroU)

TAKE THE RAP AND WEAR THE CAP

There seems to be no real choice but to take the rap

Since someone has to be chosen to turn on the black tap

There's also the price to pay after drinking the sap

When there's no better scapegoat around to wear the cap

Outdated Race To Be Avoided - (Ref:DrMM)

OUTDATED RACE TO BE AVOIDED

Race supremacy is outdated since the Nazi era

To pursue this now will be the greatest error

There's no need to show who's the greatest 'terror'

Unless we want to regress to days of unfortunate horror

With death the camp is not worth a penny

Time To Act On The Obstinate - (Ref:Writer)

TIME TO ACT ON THE OBSTINATE

There's now no need to procrastinate

Or the need for anyone else to instigate

On matter deemed so thorough to investigate

Except to take necessary action on the obstinate

A joke is just a joke

With funny bone to poke

Unless with humour broke

You'll laugh at any joke

Wrong Cocktail For Rocket - (Ref:Kit)

WRONG COCKTAIL FOR ROCKET

What a strange way to add fuel to the rocket

To propel it to a much higher level of bracket

But what to do with those in the rotten basket

Not even worthy to be shot by the good old musket

No Chance To Be Automatic - (Ref:KarpalS)

NO CHANCE TO BE AUTOMATIC

There's no choice but to be pragmatic

When you live in a system that's dogmatic

Dial Trial For Denial - (Ref:DrMM)

Imagine having to walk to highlight crime

Do we need to stalk to live in a state sublime

When mere talk is worse than a drink of lime

Better classroom white chalk and preventive mime

Some Thought On 'Teacher's Day' - (Ref:ElizW)

SOME THOUGHTS ON 'TEACHER'S DAY'

People will learn as to how they are taught

Let's show them humanity that must be caught

Let's give them love that can never be bought

Otherwise all the teaching will come to naught

Making A Choice Anyone? - (Ref:SusanL)

MAKING A CHOICE ANYONE?

Is this a choice between "devil & deep blue sea"

Or is this a case of no choice like "Hobson's choice"?

Honestly, only God knows what's best for each country

Don't Trouble Trouble Till... (Ref:SusanL)

DON'T TROUBLE TROUBLE TILL...

Perhaps some people don't want to court trouble

Afraid of digging out too much rubbish and rubble

That will eventually burst the whole scared bubble

With nothing else left for those guilty to cuddle

Want To Play "I Spy!" ? - Ref: Malaysiakini

Mother's Prayer To Be Heeded - (Ref:YennaM)

MOTHER'S PRAYER TO BE HEEDED

It's a natural mother's fervent prayer

With all sincerity her soul has been bared

Spare A Kind Thought For 513-1969 (Ref:AlexInSabah)

SPARE A KIND THOUGHT FOR 513-1969

For the motive of those involved politically

Remembering Five One Three 1969 - (Ref:SusanL)

To Batter Matter As Last Resort - (Ref:RockyB)

TO BATTER MATTER AS LAST RESORT

It is quite a well known matter

To lift anchor up so that the ship can sail

Look Far And Near - (Ref:RockyB)

Let's all wear bifocal glasses

So that we can see far and near

Starting from the ground level grasses

Right up to the heavenly dears without fear

Or are we no better off than kangaroo?

Make Good Use Of What You Say Today - (Ref:Kit)

MAKE GOOD USE OF WHAT YOU SAY TODAY

Don't Live In Hell Under Coconut Shell - (Ref:Kit)

DON'T LIVE IN HELL UNDER COCONUT SHELL

How freely information is available will be our tolerance

There'll be support of those with the same sight

Stand up and walk tall without any known fright

Since right will remain while wrong takes flight

Excuse For Not Changing Status Quo

EXCUSE FOR NOT CHANGING STATUS QUO

Ever Wonder What To Ponder?

EVER WONDER WHAT TO PONDER?

Do we wonder why we wonder

Why we ask question and get no answer

And get answer without question to ponder

When what every party wants is to grab a bigger bite of the power

Guards On 24-Hour Duty?

Pity those on duty the poor prison guards

Having such sleepless and frightened nights

Should have contributed earlier towards bail as safeguard

To be relieved of the 'burden' not keen to take flight

AIDS Poems (13) & (14)

(13) TO OTHERS ABOUT AIDS

Warn others about AIDS
Do it before it’s too late!
Scare others about AIDS
Do it before they even start to date!
Educate others about AIDS
Do it before they’re old enough to mate!
Steer others away from AIDS
Do it before any love turns to hate!
Reach out to others about AIDS
Do it before they turn into dead pate!

Preach to others about AIDS
Do it before heaven closes its gate!
Remind others always about AIDS
Do it before they blame it on fate!
Breakthrough to others about AIDS
Do it before there’s no brake to its rate!
Plead to all worthy politicians about AIDS
Do it before the population continues to bate!
Alert one and all about AIDS
Do it before AIDS deaths continue, never to sate!

Don’t just say, “I won’t get AIDS myself.”
But rather say, “I want the whole world to be free from AIDS!”

(14) WHAT AIDS IS …

AIDS is no joke
Let me tell you why
When you get it
You’re bound to die!

AIDS is no yoke
To carry and cry
When you get it
You’ll flatly lie!

AIDS is no coke
Your sex thirst to dry
When you get it
You’re a hot pie!

AIDS is no poke(r game)
To gamble and try
When you get it
You simply die!

AIDS Poems (11) & (12)

(11) NO SECRET WITH AIDS

AIDS is now an open secret
No longer hidden in the closet
Yet so many lives have been made upset
When AIDS is beyond human’s means to reset

AIDS is now no longer any secret
But it shouldn’t have got out of the closet
Lest it runs rampant with so many lives to upset
Until it’s too difficult and late for status quo to reset

AIDS is now quite a familiar a secret
Yet it should have been nailed right in the closet
So that it will be contained without so many lives to upset
Since politicians and doctors are still at a loss its conditions to reset

AIDS continues to be scary whether or not a secret
Since it’s far too late to put it to rest inside the closet
Thus do whatever we can to minimize lives that can be upset
With our best efforts to turn AIDS’s tide the situation to reset

(12) PREVENT AIDS

Prevention is better than cure
That’s true also with AIDS for sure
Try your best to live a life that’s pure
Lest you need to have one that’s difficult to endure

Do not ever fall for AIDS’s lure
To avoid living a life enclosed by ‘manure’
This is certainly not what you want as tenure
You truly deserve a much better and brighter future
