Olde MacDonald Was Careless, he let the wolves in...

We as children enjoy/ed singing Old Macdonald having his animal farm
Ye Aye Ye Aye Oh!

I believe one day Mac grew old and was not alert, and the wolves were let into the pen

The Chicks were swallowed up, the ducks were quacked
The cows were mowed and the goats were gagged
There was blood and gore spattered everywhere
And Requeim was played
And drone on and on
And the farm was silent as the grave

I know of a home once happy with family

Until one day a stranger appeared at the door
Begging shelter and food for the night
Then in the darkness Stranger strangled the master
And molested the wife
Like a monster made mince meat of the children too
And the Home also became silent as the grave

I once lived happily in NegaraKu

Until the generous leaders opened the floodgates
To let in wolves and strangers in the night
They murdered fellow Malaysians
Raped the housewives and virgins too
And even young ones they made into hapless corpses too

Yes, we have the Internal Security Act

They took in Opposition leaders,
Non-government organisation leaders too
They want to silence the writers
They take in Bloggers to
Hence Raja Petra Kamarudin has to flee the Farm too
But there is no silence in the night

So can we find Macdonald again in you
That there is still at least one patriot who remembers
Dwelling among dissidents, writers and civil society members
And caring Malaysians -- like RPK, and also Thou too?
