A Poem ...

for Malaysians

31st Aug 1957 a new nation was born

Malaysians have all come together
Celebrating a country they can call "our own"
And a place that they can also call home.

There were joy in their faces

Whether black, yellow, red or brown
It didnt really matter
Cos it was the freedom and unity that counts.

53 years have passed

Prosperity and harmony have come a long journey
Sad to see that 'racism' is also stepping in
Slowly hijacking the glory and peace of our country.

Some say that this word is dirty

That it pollutes our mind and body
To me, it's also like poison
Gradually killing one country.

We might be yellow, brown, black or white

But we are all still the same
For it is the red blood that is flowing inside us
And that one heart that hold us all together.

So let's hold hands and love one another

For our children and a better future
Put an end to racism
And be as 1Forever.

MY COUNTRY MALAYSIA
My country, Malaysia
a nation strong and powerful
strives to be recognised
in the eyes of the world
a land rich in peace and unity
binds all people together
live in perfect harmony

My country, Malaysia
people of various colours
walking hand in hand
working side by side
a real beauty indeed

My country, Malaysia
I vow to thee
all earthly things above and below
whole and perfect
the service of my love
the love that asks no questions
the love that stands the test
the love that never fails
the love that moves me forward
to build my motherland
a successful nation
a respected nation

My country, Malaysia
my love for you
grow stronger and stronger
deeper and deeper

My country

My country is for love

so say its valleys
where ancient rivers flow
the full circle of life
under the proud eye of birds
adorning the sky.

My country is for peace

so says the veld
where reptiles caress
its surface
with elegant motions
glittering in their pride

My country
is for joy
so talk the mountains
with baboons
hopping from boulder to boulder
in the majestic delight
of cliffs and peaks

My country
is for health and wealth
see the blue of the sea
and beneath
the jewels of fish
deep under the bowels of soil
hear
the golden voice
of a miners praise
for my country

My country
is for unity
feel the millions
see their passion
their hands are joined together
there is hope in their eyes

we shall celebrate
