Letdowns

The iconic model of NegaraKu
VVe thought coud stand for something called prime ministerial dignity of past office
Seemingly suffers amnesia, or chooses selective memory
Some fears of his hidden weaknesses now laid bare
I can only pity him

The iconic model of justice
VVe thought could stand for something called judicial dignity of past office
Seemingly descends into kindergarten ramblings
Some fears of his ill gotten office now laid bare
I can only scorn him

The iconic model of a powerful lawyer
VVe thought this species could stand for something called courtly dignity
He scorns the commissioners
He scorns the People
VVe can only treat him as that species called Snakes

Oh for the five commissioners
Iconic models for inquiry
Only one performs his duty
The rest maintain elegant silence as sacred duty
The blardy head hides his behind the slithering snake and more

And the People just stand by haplessly
Helplessly
They don't know whether to laught or cry
For their beloved NegaraKu
I can only pen a sigh, or prayer too
May God/Allah open up the skies
Strike dead those who betray te People's faith
Finally VVe can only learn the truth
Within our laments whispered at midnight
Only in God VVe Can Trust.
~~ Amen/Amin

PS: Desiderata-YLChong will take an indefinite break
My spirit, my soul and body I'll not let them shake
So I'd rather see the moon, the stars and listen to the birds and the bees
Shining for Man to see and singing for Men yet to be.

Orator fit, poeta nascitur
Desi enjoy your sojourn

We'll play the refrain
'Til we see your posts again

Start the blog over
When your respite is over
