Patah sayap bertongkat paruh
Patah paruh bertongkat dagu
Tiap hilang berganti tumbuh
Tiap undur berganti baru.
(Dengan pohonan maaf buat arwah Tongkat Warrant)
#523 On the Orange Martyr
With bloodied ear and
Fist pumped in the air, we walked
Blindly into Chaos.
#521 Tentang Kebosanan Terhadap Golongan Boomer Yang Masih Tak Mau Berundur
Cukuplah wahai boomer sekalian
Kami dah jelak dan mual
Cukup-cukuplah bergaduh sakan
Kamu patutnya dah bersara kekal
Cukuplah!
Anwar lawan Hadi
Hadi lawan Kit Siang
Kit Siang cemuh Muhyiddin
Muhyiddin kutuk Zahid
Zahid marah Hadi
Hadi sindir Anwar
Cukuplah kamu boomer sekalian
Kami dah bosan dan bengang
Cukuplah negara jadi barang mainan
Kamu dah lama sangat bersarang
Cukuplah!
#513 Tentang Parti Politik yang Masih Belum Sedar Diri
Masih bermimpi
Erat mendakap silam
Lebam terjunam.
#510 On Newton’s Third Law of Hate
For every emotion,
There is an equal and opposite emotion:
This is in the iron law
That governs human interaction
For every angry activist
Every upset demonstrator
Every militant agitator
There is one on the other side of the divide
For every denouncer of evils
Spewing hate and judgment
Against anyone seen as "different"
Hate against infidels
Hate against deviants
Hate against vagrants
Hate against immigrants
There is one on the other side of the divide
Who is (secretly) different
Often they are one and the same person
For every hate
There is an equal and opposite shame
Hiding beyond a tattered mask
Of anger and redirected blame.
#508 Tentang Janji Yang Tercapati
Mungkir tanpa secebis segan
Janji lama kau capatikan
Yang kau kejar masih berenggan
Yang kau kendong dipersetankan!
#505 On a Rawlsian Attempt
So you’re trying too hard
To play the philosopher
But you’re just a fake 🙄
#500 Tentang Sandiwara Sang Politikus
Gini hidup sang politikus
Atas pentas bersandiwara
Kawan handai semuanya lurus
Kalau musuh semuanya cela
Nanti lepas pilihanraya
Tunggang balik janji formula!
#499 Tentang Pendeta Tipudaya
Hebatnya aku
Pendeta tipudaya
Dipujadamba!
#495 Tentang Pengumuman dan Percaturan
Pengumuman tentang pengumuman
Bagai kilau bayang yang mewayang
Pertuturan demi pertuturan
Menyalut ikan basi dalam sampul loyang
Demi mencuri sesuap ucapan syukur
Dari sang marhaen yang dipandang kufur
Enggan akur pada kehebatan
Sang penguasa yang bermahkotarotan
Percaturan demi percaturan
Dua langkah maju kehadapan
Lima langkah kau bungkam terhumban.
