Imagine Malaysia

Imagine

the Prime Minister

the Deputy Prime Minister

all Ministers, Deputy Ministers

and Parliamentary Secretaries

Imagine

all Mentris Besar, Chief Ministers

and the State Excos

Imagine

all present MPs and State Assemblymen

Imagine

all and everyone of them 

at this very moment

resign from all respective party positions

and denounce respective party memberships

 

but resign not from respective government positions

and denounce not respective parliamentary

or state assembly seats

Wouldn’t there still remains

as intact as they should be

this Federal Government

and those State Governments

of ours?

Wouldn’t there becoming evidently clear

that all political parties

are mere NGOs?

that no political party actually

ever winning or losing

or let alone contesting

a General Election

or a By-Election!

that no political party (no NGO)

ever becoming a Government Organization

let alone to forming a Government!

that in truth,

there is no such thing as

“Kerajaan Barisan Nasional”, or

“Kerajaan PAS Kelantan”

but “Kerajaan Persekutuan”

and “Kerajaan Negeri”

- the Government of the People

by the People, for the People!

that it is nonsensical

to think of

Government and Oppositions!

HOW COULD WE THEN BE MISLED?

THE LEGEND OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL

Changing too often

the rules of the game

transforms the game

into another game

Though maintaining the name

the same

but is never

the same again

And that is how American

turns football

into a completely

different game!

I wonder why not

American Rugby

the more appropriate name

when we have in existence

similar game?

POLITICAL LIFE-CYCLE

Originally,

Theocracy was the political ideology

of all nations

of God-fearing leaders

and God-fearing peoples

and of kings

who were political leaders

and spiritual leaders

 

Soon,

Autocracy was the political state

of the day

when crept in those authoritarians

disguised under religious actions

who were actually tyrants

freely persecuting social scientists

and theologians

whom were branded deviants

to the Religion of the Nation

 

Then,

the scholars of scientists and theologians

supported by masses of defiants

seized the power of the kingdoms

under the People’s Revolution

and declared the rule of secularism

and this was when

Democracy is born

 

But soon crept in those authoritarians

disguised under legal and millitary actions

who were actually tyrants

freely prosecuting social activists

and opposition politicians

whom were branded deviants

to the Law of the Nation

prompting some seeketh divine revelation

while others inevitably turned millitants

An evolution there is…

 

and a life-cycle it is!

WHEN RIGHT IS WRONGED

As Faith threads

God educates

That He draws man

into making mistakes

For man learn best

from his own mistakes

As God teaches man

what’s right

And as man sets forth

to do it right

God said,

That man had got it all wronged, alright

For that was not what He’d taught

though that was what man had always thought

But let us not feel uptight

that all the while we’ve been misled

For God educates

That all man shall be

And remain upright

Masters, Servants and Beggars

Masters we are
To serve but not be served
For our giving without taking

Servants we are
To serve and be served
For our giving and taking

Beggars we are
To not serve but be served
For our taking without giving

Truly God is the Master of all

and to all

For He is served by no one

But He sure serves everyone

That man, servant of God

is God’s servant to fellow mankind

Only by serving

man becoming master

by taking man becomes beggar
