That I Is Not Me




I have wanted to say out but
I dare not
stifled by my own cowardice? Nope!

Yep.
I want to keep my self-interest intact
which I feel is my absolute right

I stood by and just watched
the burning anger the unbridled wrath
like the hot spilling broth
heated by continuous fire

Now I look at the mess in disdain
at a distance
nothing touches my hands . . .

    1. Ya kadang susah nak tahu maksud walau pun kita faham bahasa nya.
      Saya suka The Daffodils karangan William Wordsworth.

  4. Dulu masa sekolah minat sangat dengan poem. Apatah lagi cikgu yang mengajar bersuara sedap dan pandai menyanyi. Ada hari-hari suka dia akan ajar kami menyanyi lagu2 pop inggeris yang berseni kata menarik. Lagu pertama kami ketika itu.. Dont let it die..
