Jackrudin 5: Jackrudin Blindfolded Poem by Raj Arumugam

O Jackrudin, darling Jackrudin…
Our neighbors tell me
you spent the whole day at the city
walking about blindfolded.
We are all dumbfounded, darling Jackrudin,
we are all dumbfounded.
Why would you walk around the city blindfolded?



Oh the people’s brilliance just so blinded my eyes
and their goodness too,
sweet Suelina;
their brilliance was so blinding
and their virtue so brilliant
I could not walk but blindfolded
