* Hello 2010 * Poem by Sulaiman Mohd Yusof
* Hello 2010 *
2010, we hold hands, praying
Massacre and suicide bombing
Will not be the new screenplay
For the live audience, at bay
Economic uprising would be the hope
For many around the globe
Putting food on the table
Shouldn’t be a gamble
The hole in the sky
Is the key to the word, die
Unless we resolve the cause
At all costs
Black, color and white
The pride of humanities world wide
Nothing is above God
Race supremacy should be left to rot
Politicians and terrorists
Are the naked bliss
The true blessing in disguise
The sweet and bitter pies
Should we roam into this New Year?
To taste more bloodshed and sizzling tear
Or to embrace the blue horizon
Without pain, sorrow or burden
2010, please give us the luxuries
To live another day without worries
The old road was so rough
The going is so tough
Think about the children for instance
Growing up is like walking the distance
Stumble and fall in the midway
Life is dark and gray
They say religion is the marker
For worst or better
To kill is to feel
The sin, right beneath the heel
Fanatic or not
Suicide or plot
Satan and demon
Would galvanize in turn
Say hello to the New Year
Smile from ear to ear
Dream and dream and make believe
For the world to achieve
multi themes are expressed here and end in one conclusion....TO WELCOME THE YEAR FROM ITS BEST TO WORST WHETHER ECONOMICAL, POLITICAL, EDUCATIONAL, FINANCIAL OR ANY FROM LITLLE TO SMALL AND FROM BIG TO LARGE..WE ALL HOPE THAT SCARCITY WILL BE MINIMIZED AND THE NECESSITY WILL BE PRORITIZE FROM FAMILY, SOCIETY, GOVERNMENT, COMMUNITY AND TO THE WHOLE WORLD..thanks for inviting me a week ago..thanks a lot..your piece is ''as usual'' the best for me...
