the man without memories

for each picture taken be another hollow gap to leave your mind
and of that be left vacant for the ghost of the past to haunt
never will it ever be such easy task for these presence dissolved

as though they meant nothing
no, they really meant nothing

this reality that has existed in circular formations beneath a dream
dismissed as an affair forlorn, forsaken,forgotten and dead.
and live this being with the hurricane of the sweetness of memories soon to be,

soon to reverse as a prison,
soon to pest the heart,
soon to devour sanity within.

in present, no, past tense rather, let this be light.
the light to blind profound stupidity that man was and still is.

in light leave the unwanted theories.
in live live as a man without memories.

insignia emblemed

too much words rambled in this head,
no, nothing's wrong i'm not afraid.

within the three heads that live in me,
of all are swapping this hypocrisy.

linger on, oh linger more,
all the bad thoughts of those abhorred.

i am walking, this endless flight of rubble,
to keep me distant from the heart that troubles.

i walk alone now, i'm sure i could,
i'd like you be here, but that if you would.

of said the regrets that were put to words,
of said all frets, that all came be favoured.

i was the prodigy, that laid the gun,
but thou art the bullet that shoot and run.

no, the run is over, it was all clear.
yes, the fun is over, too much had cleared

this meaningless phantom that haunts this vessel,
keeps raging on with its meaningless riddles.

i had a bit too much to think.
i had far too much to drink.

alas be as said, the rambles that shivers my head.

dalam hati ada azan

gua tak kisah,
lu orang makan duit gua,
cukup-cukup kasi abis.

gua tak kisah,
lu orang eksen dengan gua,
depan-depan pun takpa.

gua tak kisah,
kasi members hidup,
bila gua sendiri tengah sesak.

gua tak kisah,
keje doplopatjam,
pasal bila gua da gaji, lu orang senyum.

gua pun tak kisah,
kalau lu pandang gua rendah,
pasal gua sedar diri gua.

gua lagi tak kisah,
kalau lu mau hina gua,
mau caci maki gua punya muka.

gua pun tak amek hati,
kalau lu takmo tolong gua,
bila gua tengah susah.

tapi gua mintak siket aja,

gua mintak payung,
mana punya buruk pun takpa.

pasal dalam hati gua,
tengah banjir airmata.

gua mintak lu diam aja,
sekejap pun takpa.

pasal dalam hati gua,
ada azan tengah berkumandang.

gua mintak seteguk air,
tak kisahlah panas ke sejuk.

pasal bila gua nazak,
taklah haus sangat.

dengan gua mintak lu ingat,
nama gua sapa.

pasal bila gua dah takda,
boleh lu sedekah al-fatihah.

the star

lights, camera, action.
the ringing tune that moves you.
the silent vibes your heart beats.
the graceful stance that dance you.

lights, camera, action.
the tone you'll get accustomed to.
the beautiful emotions concocted.
the eyes you so much mesmerized.

lights camera action.
the path I chose you taught me.
the flight that grows into me.
the run you kept me going.

lights, camera, action.
this salutation is for you.
this gratitude has your name.
this glorious win you deserve.

lights,camera,action.
you will be this first in mind.
you are who no one is better.
you are that special individual.

i call mentor.

Act I fajar

Aku bukanlah seniman, ataupun aku sang penghibur.
Aku hanyalah bawahan, yang banyak mimpinya terkubur.

Rantauan hidup membawaku ke sini,
dengan harapan menambah rezeki.
Tiada bagiku yang selalunya senangan,
tapi aku teruskan merempuh halangan.

Andaikata hidup ini satu lakonan, jiwaku ini kan ku pentaskan.

Sekiranya jalan ku terhenti, jauh sekali ia lah penghujung.
Takkan ku henti bermimpi, banyak lagi yang kan ku kunjung.

bangsa yang melayu

pandanglah diri dicermin pecahan,
patutkah jati dijajah-jajahan?

sumbang si angsa melagukan pagi,
mana bangsa yang melayu mati!

usah tercengang banyak provokasi,
takkan ku terima haluan yang diberi.

hantaran penindas hanya kekata,
fikiran bernas diejek dikata.

bak salju memutih nan indah,
tak berbaju memerang lidah.

hancur lebur busana bangsa,
namun anak nya sedikit tak terasa.
