Merdeka Poem - Wingz's Way of Patriotism

Thanks Wingz, the Rojak Daily superstar blogger! You tagged me to write Poem? OMG, I am stung in deep shit!!! I hate poem...I love writing, but not poem. Can I be excuse, Tan Si Wingz?

Ok, I'll try... and if it's crap, don't swear, ok? Merdeka Poem? I had to write, otherwise Zam will say I'm not patriotic ...





Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka!

This is shout of Independence,

from a multi community of interdependence.

49 years of Independence we had look back and forth,

hoping to discover the purpose henceforth.

While we called ourselves Malaysians,

while we despair of not achieving a Malaysia for Malaysians,

while we still being labeled by individual races instead of monolithic Malaysians,

we look forward towards a Malaysia for all Malaysians.

Fortunately there remains a modicum of intelligence and justice,

that suffice to cure any defaults of the system of injustice,

sufficient to maintain harmony and peace.

We shall remember our forefathers era,

and the shouts of Merdeka, Merdeka, and Merdeka,

to all Malaysians, be ye Maya, Indiana or Cina,

we are Malaysians in recognition of Merdeka.

P/S: Is this ok, Wingz????

Wingz--> Tak semestinya berpatriotik mesti berbahasa Melayu. Dia dapat idea buat sajak dalam BI pun dah kira bagus daripada orang yang guna 'ayat pelat cina'.

I like your poem. Its simply beautiful.
