Dilemma Of A Journalist Poem by Sulaiman Mohd Yusof
Dilemma Of A Journalist
Looking at the vast horizon
I whipped and wonder where to depart
My move could hurt some citizens
But I had no intention to disregard
Their opinions to have me holding around
But viewing at the broader point of view
The town is no longer safe and sound
Sooner it would be placed under a curfew
Where no one is supposed to be hanging around
The Town Council and the local Police
Are the perpetrators
Gloomed days hit with crisis
It’s not going to be better
Until someone cured the diseases
I was just an out of Towner
An honest living journalist
Who’s trying to dig out the truth
Behind the truce
Leading to the coup
The Governor was on the loop
So as the Mayor
Who are out of desire
To fight back the collaborators
Who had win over their voters
Leadership was changing seats
Violence has erupted in discreet
The cowards has retreat
Fear to take the beat
I could close the crack
And heal the wounds
Utterly with a soft tone they asked me to pack
And leave them real soon
A threat that my life will be at stake
Is something that keeping me awake
I like your poetry style, blocks of words showing you have emotion. And you have a richness and diversity to your writing. Instead of all this lazy emotional languange why not see if you can write something which shows you can think more rationally creating something intricate and finely crafted and precise in expression? Contemplation is for lazy souls, concentrate, stop dreaming. All the best.
yusof-I agree with Melvin, and your poem has emotion and immediacy. Good work! Katherine

Well, journalist really face great delimna, not just to inform but to challenge, not just to write but to transform change... not just to share wisdom but to start a fire that will cause trouble in their desire to bring changes, reform for injustices, curruption and any issued that needs one's concern. thanks for sharing, best wishes, melvin
