Jejaka biru

Jejaka biru segak dan tegap,
Menjalankan amanah demi negara dan agama,
Berkorban masa dan nyawa,
Walau adakalanya terlelap,
Walau adakalanya dihina,
Itu semua adalah adat kita bersama.

Sebelum fajar melangkah,
Jejaka biru sudah berangkat,
Mengucup isteri dan anak,
Mendirikan solat berjemaah,
Tiang agama dilaksanakan berkat,
Berdoa kepada-Nya agar bala becana ditolak.

Jejaka biru pergi dan datang,
Singgah ke kedai santi,
Hati tenang melihat seyumanya,
Cuma itu hiburan hati jejaka biru yang bujang,
Asal menjalankan tugas tidak leka dan lalai,
Insyallah semuanya akan selamat sejahtera.

Debu dan pasir

Di persisiran pantai,
Di bawah heningnya matahari,
Aku mengorak langkah,
Mencari secebis hati nan permai,
Namun ia tiada di sini,
Yang ada Cuma hati yang kian merekah.

Masihkah ada hari esok,
Untuku menyambut cinta,
Membelai bayangan wajahmu,
Tapi kenapa hati kian sebak,
Walau engkau berada jauh di samudera,
Hatiku tidak sanggup berjauhan darimu.

Air mata tidak akan membawamu kembali,
Cuma hati dan kesetian saja yang hadir,
Walau hakikatnya aku bersedih,
Tetap saja akan aku rindui,
Aku bertemankan debu dan pasir,
Ianya bersamaku demi mencurahkan rindu dan kasih
.

Uncertain path

To live is to be able to sacrifice,
We hold our love ones close,
Yet our enemy is closer,
We tend to forget how to see with these eyes,
We took so much time and space,
But heaven is still too far.

Once a pure heart,
Now corrupted by deception,
Politics has change its game plan,
No more respect toward religion,
We were taught to look for fame and fortune,
Countless time we wasted out life with enough sin.

Blame it all to the west
Where in truth it’s us,
To choose what to believe in,
We are so obsessed,
And soon some would turn faithless,
Without knowing what went wrong in this world within.

The world is like an advertising space,
No more boundaries,
No limit,
But how long can a man’s faith embrace?
Just pray that we are not one of those lassies,
And that life has no shortcut.

***this poem is written to tell us that the world is slowly changing. we are control by media and politics. we are unaware of what is happening underneath this world stage.***

Life of Homeless War Veterans

BEING a soldier is no walk in a park. It takes honor and bravery to run along with your country. As I was browsing on a short clip regarding war especially the Vietnam War, I can feel as though as I am sucked into their story. These brave soldiers gave up everything just to serve for their country while most of them believe that not all of them will come back in one piece or worse, die in the battlefield. From watching these short clips, I can’t relate on what had become to most of these war veteran. It doesn’t matter what war are we speaking of either it’s the Vietnam, Panama, Korean or any other war but my point is, almost all of these once so called hero now live their remaining life along the streets. Some of them blame their government and others prefer to turn the other cheek. Now these poor men are struggling each and every day just to stay alive. Heroes are not meant to be remembered but they are meant to go down in history. This is what these men are going through. They serve their country like a hero and now they just rot their way to an uncertain future. My question is, does war bring good or justice? If it brings good to the government and it people then why there are still an uncontrollable state of democracy? Why there are still people who neglect their surroundings, corruption, confusion and disruption. In that case war does not bring good but it’s only like trimming a rough edge. War itself does not give much different than not engaging one. Politicians are now just like wolf in sheep’s clothing waiting for the right moment to strike. What about justice? Take a long look at our society and ask yourself, is this justice? Justice is fairness, justice is equal, justice is blind and justice can be interpreted into so many definition but justice what I am talking about is justice on war. If there is justice then why do we kill? Is it a war philosophy saying 'its kill or be kill'. If justice is being served in war, then I'm sure no children or innocent people have to suffer. Women are rape instead of being look after, children are taught to be soldiers where instead they should be love and many lives are wasted under the gun and this is what justice brings to war. This merely tells us that war does not bring forth justice but only fear and death to the innocent eyes. Grown men don’t cry but they weep, but weeping can lead to tears. War is the same, no matter in what way we approach it, by nanotechnology, genome super soldiers, nuclear, bribery, espionage, conspiracy the definition won’t change the true meaning of war. Civilization don’t grow in a matter of second but it take years to build. For those who enjoy what war bring to them, it means more income, more power and the more you gain control the greed soon devour one’s heart. In the end it will all lead to a dark glimpse of the future. What will happen to the Young men and women who were engage in now modern warfare? Will they be forgotten just like their former veterans? The answer might not be with me but it’s all in god's hand. We are fighting our own self and yet why do we even bother fighting each other. These homeless war veteran don’t have any place to go nor anybody who the call family. The only families they take in are people who fought along during the war with them which unfortunately are also as homeless as they are. According to Veteran Affair (V.A.) of America they estimated 107,000 homeless war veterans. That’s only in America but what about in other country. I have a high respect for military, not just in my own country but for others as well. Wish that I am one of them but now I have second thought. One man can’t change what is already taken place. It takes miracle to change everything all over again. The only problem is that whether we can accept such people (War Veterans) or not into our society and as long as there are guns and money, there will be no freedom. These war veterans deserve much better life than this but all that we can do is watch and feel pity to them. I’m not a professional war critics but I’m just a guy who need to voice out my opinion. Soldiers are made to protect not to be destroyed, remember those soldiers are also people like you and me. Respect is earned and earning it is not that easy.

Si Kutat dan Si Kitut

CERITA ini bermula di sebuah kampung yang penduduknya hidup rukun damai. Di kampung ini tinggal sepasang kawan baik seumpama belangkas. Nama mereka ialah Kutat dan Kitut. Setiap pagi apabila hendak pergi ke sekolah,mereka selalu berjalan sebaya. Mereka sering membantu sesama sendiri. Pada satu hari ibu Kutat membelikanya sebuah kereta mainan yang dibelinya dari pekan.Kutat pun merasa gembira dan melompat-lompat sambil berterima kasih kepada ibunya. Selepas itu Kutat pun berlari menuju ke rumah Kitut untuk melihatkan mainanya itu kepadanya. Kitut terkejut apabila melihat manan Kutat yang cantik lalu Kitut pun berkata kepada Kutat yang dia ingin meminjamnya untuk sehari saja dan akan dipulangkan esok. Pada mulanya Kutat merasa keberatan untuk meminjamkanya tetapi oleh kerana mereka adalah kawan baik,maka mainan kereta Kutat itu secara rela dipinjamkan kepada Kitut. Selang berberapa hari Kutat sudah jarang lagi bertembung dengan Kitut. Apabila Kutat mencari Kitut di rumahnya, Kitut selalu saja bersembunyi. Hubungan mereka mula renggang dan oleh kerana itu Kutat pun tidak lagi mahu berkawan dengan Kitut. Setiap kali Kutat terserempak dengan Kitut secara tidak sengaja, Kutat pasti akan menagih kereta mainanya itu yang dijanjihi oleh Kitut akan mengembalikanya. Tetapi Kitut selalu saja memberi pelbagai alasan. Kutat sudah tidak sabar lagi dan terus memberitahu hal tersebut kepada ibunya. Pada malam itu ibu Kutat menjumpai ibu Kitut dengan perasaan marah dan meminta untuk mengembalikan kereta mainan itu kepada Kutat. Setelah berjam-jam bertengkar Kitut pun berterus terang kepada Kutat yang kereta mainanya itu telah terjatuh ke dalam sungai. Kitut meminta maaf kepada Kutat tetapi Kutat tidak menerima maaf Kitut kerana dia telah banyak kali berbohong. Mulai hari itu mereka pun tidak lagi bersama dan masing-masing dengan halnya sendiri...TAMAT

MORAL CERITA HARI INI: semua manusia mempunyai kawan rapat dan oleh kerana kawan kadang-kadang kita terpaksa memberikan/meminjamkan sesuatu kepada mereka dengan alasan tidak ingin menguris hatinya namun begitu, selagi namanya manusia ia hanya manis dimulut...sifat meminjam tidak salah dari sisi agama dan masyarakat tetapi ia tidak digalakan dan oleh kerana itu kawan yang rapat umpama belangkas pun boleh menjadi musuh. Sekiranya kita ingin meminjam sesuatu dari seseorang, maka haruslah ia dikembalikan dengan keadaan atau jumlahnya yang asal. Jangan kerana mulut yang manis berkata 'pinjam', suatu persahabatan itu akan menjadi pahit, seperti cerita si Kutat dan si Kitut.
