My Anthem

I arrived at a cross-road...

AND TOOK A ONE-WEEK HIATUS while digesting the following poem:

Robert Frost (1874–1963). Mountain Interval. 1920.
1. The Road Not Taken
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.








Today I pondered deep and long on my next article, and it's a toss on the Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement (MCLM(, which inevitably ill concern its founders, Chairman RPK and President Haris Ibrahim

AND

The routing or outing of the Zaid-Soh-Jeffrey triumvirate from PartiKeadilan Rakyat (PKR). But yet a tackling of the second option will still link back to RPK and Haris Ibrahim, so that's what's truly a HOBSON'S CHOICE!

So my dear ER -- which stands for EsteemedReaders here -- can I seek your indulgence while I take a little longer to work on my piece. It is NOT fun nor FUND, buta writer must do as he seeks the truth,otherwise, there is no RAISON DE'TRE (Reason for Being) for my existence/life eh?
