What To Do With 'Infernal Safety Ass'? - Ref: Mustafa K Anuar - Malaysiakini

WHAT TO DO WITH 'INFERNAL SAFETY ASS'?

With the newly birthed 'Infernal Safety Ass'(or Arse)

Our journalists are now safe from all possible 'threats'

So tolerate torture but please don't regard it as harass

Since it will be too embarassing when it is torn to shreds

Rotten Boats Replaced By Scapegoats?

ROTTEN BOATS REPLACED BY SCAPEGOATS?

Why should innocent peace-loving neighbours be disturbed and be displaced

When they merely exercise their basic rights without rocking any rotten boats?

Friend - Sharing by Rose Cheng (Petaling Jaya, Malaysia)

FRIEND

My Friend, I stand in judgment now
And I feel that you’re to blame somehow
On earth I walk with you day by day
And never did you point the way
You knew the Lord in truth and glory
But never did you tell the story
My knowledge then was very dim
You could have led me safe to Him
Though we lived together on earth
You never told me of the 2nd birth
And now I stand this day condemned
Because you failed to mention Him
You taught me many things that’s true,
I called you friend and trusted you
But I learn now that it’s too late
You could have saved me from this fate
We walked by day and talked by night
And yet you showed me not the light
You let me live and love and die
You knew that I’d never live on high
Yet I call you friend in life
And trusted you thru joy and strife
And yet on coming to this end
I cannot now call you ‘my friend’

When it's 'Rubbish in, Rubbish out' then we're sure to 'kaput' (fail)

With quality being glaringly sacrificed for the sake of quantity

There's a heavy price to pay just to make the covers look pretty

Have The Right Thing, Place & Reason - Ref: Susan Loone - Malaysiakini

HAVE THE RIGHT THING, PLACE & REASON

Do the right thing at the right place for the right reason

Don't simply jump to any conclusion thinking you're in season

We're answerable to both God and man in case of any treason

So let's free our minds from any form of religious prison

How To Face God With Race Politics?

HOW TO FACE GOD WITH RACE POLITICS?

Any politician still harping on the politics of race

Will indeed be condemned as a disgrace to the human race

For how can the person see God as Creator face to face

Even with both eyes fully covered with layers of lace?

What Is Love? - Sharing by A.Bahaman (Shah Alam, Malaysia) - 070908

WHAT IS LOVE?

Those who don't like it call it responsibility

Those who play with it call it a game

Those who don't have it call it a dream

But those who truly have it called it DESTINY.

Why Still The Fears After All These Years? - Ref: New Malaysia - Wong Chun Wai - Malaysiakini

WHY STILL THE FEARS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?

Why with all the blood, sweat and tears

After all these long years

There still remain fears

Among the young and old dears?

A Tip To Avoid Slip In A Trip - Ref: Anil Netto - Malaysiakini

A TIP TO AVOID SLIP IN A TRIP

How do you like to go on a trip

Trying to give others feared the slip

With only their own conscience to strip

Some prefer to happily stay at home to sleep

To Be Handled With Care - Ref: Charles Hector - Malaysiakini

TO BE HANDLED WITH CARE

Let's not use a heavy hand

To handle any matter at hand

Better to lend a helping hand

Better still to join hand in hand

Prestige At Stake In Use Of Language - Ref: Zorro-Unmasked - Bernard Khoo - Malaysiakini

PRESTIGE AT STAKE IN USE OF LANGUAGE

We are supposed to mind our language

Not get it all minced up like a sausage

How then can we hold up our own prestige

When it is still being treated like a vestige

Preparing For Adulthood - Ref: Actress Hayley Atwell

PREPARING FOR ADULTHOOD

It may seem ironic but often true

The best preparation for adulthood

Is a tough and rough childhood

Thus forget getting any royal blue

Clear The Drainage - Ref: Anil Netto - Malaysiakini

CLEAR THE DRAINAGE

When there's no proper drainage

It's often caused by blockage

If there's no proper stoppage

There'll be no end to damage

Let Your Flame Be Your Fame - Ref: The Scribe - A Kadir Jasin - Malaysiakini

LET YOUR FLAME BE YOUR FAME

You have left behind your name

Not because of personal fame

But as a reminder of your flame

That life is more than a game

Love That Never Departs - Ref: Mustafa K Anuar - Malaysiakini

LOVE THAT NEVER DEPARTS

When we get to know the right history

When we have enough love in our hearts

Then it'll be a wonderful world in his glory

When we share his love that will never depart

From Fantasy To Plastic? - Ref: People's Parliament - Haris Ibrahim - Malaysiakini

FROM FANTASY TO PLASTIC?

Now with the introduction of plastic

May we ask if it was kind of elastic

And if the sensation was truly fantastic

Or everything was a mere fantasy of a 'fanatic'?

Wonderful World With Enough Love - Ref: Mustafa K Anuar - Malaysiakini

WONDERFUL WORLD WITH ENOUGH LOVE

When we get to know the right history

When we have enough love in our hearts

Then it'll be a wonderful world in his glory

When we share his love that will never depart

It's Fly Now Or Never - Ref: AnilNetto - Malaysiakini

Quickly make it soon

Before it gets to noon

While I still have my spoon

Verifying faithful echoes of love rebound

Earmarking true enduring love that's found

Don't Waste Time On The Stubborn - Ref: Tony Pua

DON'T WASTE TIME ON THE STUBBORN

No use forcing anyone to apologise

When he doesn't admit his own mistake

There are better things to energise

Than to use any whip or big stick

A Test For Truth - Ref: Anwar Ibrahim - Malaysiakini

A TEST FOR TRUTH

'Pure gold can withstand the test of fire' [Chinese proverb]

It's healthy to express the heart's desire

Professional integrity can't be on hire

Even with intricate intrigues to mire

Congratulations to you on RTM1's invitation

May you do your best with your presentation

Let all truth and justice be for public attention

Please Handle English With Care - Ref: Norman Fernandez - Malaysiakini

PLEASE HANDLE ENGLISH WITH CARE

We used to watch 'Mind your language!' (On TV)

Now we can see 'Murder the English language/heritage!'

(Right before our own eyes & ears)

Some may even prefer to swallow it like a sausage

Before anyone openly does it any further damage

Go Multi- - Ref: Dr. Chua Soi Lek - Malaysiakini

GO MULTI-

The 'secret formula' is to go beyond multi-racial

And to be really 'multi-' in all that's seen as 'facial'

So that all people can freely act in manners casual

While going about their daily business as usual

Let The Good Stand Up & Be Counted - Ref: People's Parliament - Haris Ibrahim - Malaysiakini

LET THE GOOD STAND UP & BE COUNTED

When good people don't make their stand visibly clear

The others will take unfair advantage and plot in their liar

Good people always inherit the wrong kind of public fear

Being contented to happily drink their own brand of beer

We Are Grounded In The Same Land - Ref: Susan Loone - Malaysiakini

WE ARE GROUNDED IN THE SAME LAND

'This land is your land, this land is my land' (From song)

So what is there really to give name to and brand

When we all have our feet in water to share the same sand

Why don't we extend and help each other with our free hands

From Declarations To Isolations - Ref: Zorro-Unmasked - Bernard Khoo - Malaysiakini

FROM DECLARATIONS TO ISOLATIONS

Practically all those involved in declarations

Are due to be in for many sessions of isolations

After 'endless' rounds of personal interrogations

Searching high and low for all the implications

Bloodshed In Orissa, East India - Ref: Dorcas Chan (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

To take home all those to Him dear

Fate Or Destiny? - Ref: Rocky's Bru - Malaysiakini

Poetic Bloggers? - Ref: Quah Seng-Sun (Penang, Malaysia) - 030908

POETIC BLOGGERS?

It's not often to find poets among bloggers, I'd say it's even rare

But you, sir, with your eloquence, I must declare

You are truly one of a kind within the bloggersphere

I'd tip my hat off to you; you're incomparable, here's my cheer!

What Time Is ? - Ref: A. Bahaman (Shah Alam, Malaysia) - 030908

WHAT TIME IS?

Time is too slow for those who wait

Too swift for those who fear

Too long for those who grieve

Too short for those who rejoice

But for those who love ...

Time is eternity!

Reminders On Keeping In Touch - Ref: A. Bahaman (Shah Alam, Malaysia) - 030908

REMINDERS ON KEEPING IN TOUCH

Anniversaries remind us of love

Birthdays remind us of age

Memories remind us of care

Obituaries remind us of pain

Ceremonies remind us of glory

Pleasantaries are ever pleasing, but

Let's not wait for any of the above to keep in touch & greet friends!

With all the crooks we'll endeavour to soundly beat
To let them know with warning that we're no soft meat
