With words divine You guide the lost, the strayed
Through his untutored tongue, Your blest words flowed
Two thousand years since, still the sharpest blade
To cut a swathe through Evil's darkened road
In times of darkness we hold fast to this
Your Book, a compass guiding us to Bliss.
#461 On Resisting Trepid Fears
Betrothed by fate to this uncertain life
One foot in front of foot we trudge ahead
Behind this veil of ignorance our rife
Anxiety breeds ungainly thoughts unsaid
Perplexed, we must resist such trepid fears
Lest we derive a life awash in tears.
#460 On Fixing What Was Lost
This evening
I was trying to fix the air conditioner
Strugglingly vainly
With the ladder and the YouTube video
And suddenly
I was that four year-old boy again
Reminded of what I lost
That day when you gave up on us.
#459 Tentang Kepongohan
Pongoh membabi buta
Pongoh jiwa terkacau
Pongoh hati terbara
Pongoh fikiran bilau
Pongoh, kau mulut cabul
Pongoh berapi baran
Pongoh walau tak betul
Pongoh dibakar setan!
#458 On Waiting for Power
Don’t wait for them to
“Bagi chance” - they never will
Just Seize the Day now!
#457 On Your Revelry
So this is how
You climbed your way
Up to the top:
To those above, servility
To those below, duplicity
To fellow peers, vile treachery
You revel now in borrowed power
But He awaits, within the Hour.
#456 On My Own Skeletons
Show me yours and I’ll
Show you my own skeletons
Hidden deep beneath.

#455 Tentang Janji Politikus (atau, Manifesto Bukan Bible)
Ikrar besar disemai tabur
Buah mulut manis menggula
Lepas undi hasilnya kabur
Makin hari makin mencuka
Lumrah nasib rakyat tersusah
Janji degar dibakulsampah.
#454 Tentang Ghanimah dan Ufti
Bila menang semua sapu
Itu atur politik cakar
Rompak Ah Chong 'tuk bayar Abu
'Gitu cara dunia berputar
#453 Tentang Chainsaw Man
Pada dahi gergaji deras
Bilah besi pencetus maut
Darah merah terpancar panas
Deru lumur seolah laut
Jerit ngeri menggerun alam
Degup hayat terputus padam.
