Stop March 6, 2009

It was Monday morning, 2^nd March 2009,  in Nanyang Technological University. A professor was rushed to a hospital due to stabbing injuries. A boy called David was found dead on the ground. The media has speculated some stories since then. Yet, nobody knows the real truth. But, have you ever imagined how David would feel to see false stories about him in newspapers and TV stations?

 

 

Stop

 

The world tells a story that I never hear

In just one instance. Bam.

I am shut in a room without a door

Without a chance to speak up.

 

Would you believe me if I tell you the truth?

Would you stand on my side and fight all the lies?

Open up your heart

And you will find the answer in a whisper.

 

The clock keeps ticking and day changes to night.

The story goes on. Damn.

I am trapped behind a thick glass wall that

Nobody can hear my voice.

 

Would you believe me if I tell you the truth?

Would you tell the whole world to stop this madness?

Open up your heart

And you will find the answer in a whisper.

 

I am waiting for

The world to

Stop.

The Golden Apple February 24, 2009

It was a fine day in Eden

Eve walked around the center of the garden

Tempted as she saw the divine fruit

“Oh dear, how I always long for thee”

So she picked some and ate it with Adam

 

I wonder how they led their lives before they tasted

The far-fetched golden apple

The forbidden fruit of wisdom and knowledge

 

Did they ever see the world in destruction?

Did they ever worry about their lives?

Did they ever feel sad and cry alone?

 

It was a fine day in Eden

The Lord visited them in the afternoon

To find them hiding among the trees

And fell under the trap of serpent

That they shall leave the Garden of Eden

 

I wonder how our lives will be if they never ate

The far-fetched golden apple

The forbidden fruit of wisdom and knowledge

 

Will there be hunger, droughts and children dying?

Will there be wars between human beings?

Will there be broken hearts and broken homes?

Flashback January 18, 2009

i miss the golden days

when i felt so great about myself

 

i miss those days

i miss those feelings

i miss the pride

 

good old memories

 

*sigh*

*wondering whether i still keep those school uniforms*

Fairy tale January 8, 2009

Little girl tugged on her bed

Hearing the soothing voice

Hearing the love story

Hearing the dream

 

Of that prince

that goes against all odds

that sweeps her off her feet

that promises happiness

 

A happy ending

with that ballroom dancing

with that firework

with that vow

 

Just a fairy tale

A mere fantasy

A mere imagination

A mere utopia

 

Just a fairy tale

Too good to be true

SO WAKE UP AND STOP DREAMING

 

 

– In remembrance of her childhood fantasies –

alone

in my solitude

drown

in my imagination

locked

in my own world

Anxious December 29, 2008

Lord, what is my next step?
