Ujian yang Esa

Sayup kedengararan rintihan sayu,
anak kecil yang kelaparan,
ditinggalkan bersendirian,
diantara runtuhan rumah tersayang,
ibu dan bapa kini menghilang,
dibawa pergi ombak gergasi,
yang tinggal hanya memori.

Tergerak hatiku, memberitahu,
apakah ini hadiah si Pencipta,
membawa pergi mereka yang tercinta,

tanpa diberi peluang insaf,
tanpa belaian dan lambaian perpisahan,
tanpa mengucup anak tercinta,
tanpa kasihan atau peri kemanusiaan.

Bumi yang dahulu indah dan nyata,
Semuanya kini ilusi maya,
Keriuhan gelak ketawa orang kampung,
digantikan dengan teriakan malang,
untuk setiap manusia tak bernyawa.

Apakah Tuhan semakin geram melihat umat manusia?
atau Bumi semakin meluat kita memijaknya?
hinggakan bukan sahaja nyawa menjadi korban,
tetapi cinta, kasih sayang, dan juga harapan.

Setakat apa dayaku ini,
hanya mampu merintih dan bersedih,
ku pinta hanya satu dari Mu,
Maafkanlah dosa-dosa mereka,
yang kini berada di sisi Mu.

*Someone reminded me of the tragic tsunami that killed hundreds of thousands in Acheh and some thousands India. Written in memory for those who were lost, and survived.

Gelora seorang rakyat biasa..

Jika Sang Suria yang dicari,
jangan termenung dibawah awan mendung,
Jika Purnama yang dicari,
jangan tertidur sebelum dinihari,

Jika kesetiaan dituntut,
jangan belajar dari si Jebat,
tetapi jika setiakawan yang dimahukan,
jangan pula mendewakan Hang Tuah.

Taktala hari mendekati kamarnya,
di hujung langit semakin sayup gemaan kota,
tepat ketikanya dapat ku lihat,
setitik ketenangan, jauh di awangan, menusuk di sanubari.

Hati remaja umpama gelora lautan di musim tengkujuh,
Hati dewasa serupa tasik yang tenang di hari yang cerah,

Yang mana satu idaman hatiku?
Apa yang pasti, mengharunginya, bukan kemahuan ku.

Religion Rapings by Claimed Clergics

A sensitive topic but nevertheless proved the need of raising an opinion, especially when considering current volatile situation and some iconic scientific proof that world may just end in 2012.

The biggest religions in this Condemned Rock are Christian and Islam. Although many will argue, but hey lets face the facts, these two religions came from the same origin, irrelevant of which one came first. Hindus are the third biggest, origin - scattered and highly sourced, but not necessary at this point of time.

Now, its true that religion did bring people from different race and ethnicity together under one common believe, but, at the same time, does that means that any intolerance and vengeance were to be shared too?

Example, Christians had their Crusades, Jews had their share of Nazi killings, and Islam’s had their share of Jews discrimination.

But, sit and think, what in the world Crusade has to do with Christians in Philippines? Would it be right for me to say that Philippines Christians are idiots for NOT launching crusade now among their fellow Islam neighbours? We know, there are many Christian denominations and 'left winged' clergies still trying to instigate these things like what been shown in YouTube.

Jesus gave his life so that others who follow Him would do the same, when it comes to the greater good of others. Will anyone still practising that, raise your hands please!! Anyone? I mean, seriously, ANYONE??

Still, that doesn’t justify that what Osama Laden did was right and just in the name of Islam. Who in the world Osama to decide who gets to die and who's not? Did Islam teaches that? If so, then WHY Osama NEVER helped Yasser Arafat - one of the greatest leader I’ve known and admired, to liberate Palestine? Does that means as far as Osama is concerned, Islam’s in Palestine can all die for all he care as long as he can SHOW his grudge against a few US citizens?

If that is the case, then that is a PROVE that Osama did not fight for the Holy name of Islam, but he acted on his personal will.

Islam never teaches violence or dishonouring others simply for someone's personal agenda. Islam is a peace loving religion, and Prophet Muhammad Himself has gone through four Hell of a battle, to ensure His people WILL NEVER have to war, AGAIN.

Are any of us now, greater than Them, greater and wiser that he or she can mock and spit such vulgar words against other religion simply because he or she were not satisfied?

You humans who do that are the ones who don't even deserve to live in this Cursed Earth because it is your kind that brings curse to this Earth and its destruction.

Just leave my fellow Christian, Islam, Hindus and even the Atheists alone! Fight your war elsewhere, not in this planet!!

That is, definitely a warning because, when the day comes when all Humans awoke from their slumber and face the reality, you won't stand a chance.

Are you listening, Lucy? Good..

Of Sin and Knowledge

Ironic that the biggest religious groups in this planet (Christianity and Islam) believes that The Almighty God hid the true nature of Evil or Knowledge inside a fruit of a huge tree, letting it grow and bear more fruits, the acclaimed 'forbidden fruit'.

Of course, apart from the question of why God would risk 'exposing' His best of creations bare naked to evil, my question would be how in the first place Satan found that out? Security breach in Garden of Eden??

Humans, which many faithful claims to be created in God's image, gains; I repeat; gains wordly knowledge simply by having a bite off that fruit.

Thus logical analysis of this situation does conclude that the realisation of committing sin has already evolved in both Adam and Eve's mind (or heart) before they even acquire any, of the said knowledge.

Did Sin trigger the anxiety to seek the unknown, even if the action would result in catastrophic consequence? If that is the case, logically Sin should be encouraged since that is the Godly proven method of acquiring unknown knowledge.

Or, should it?

That, my friends, is for your own damn mind to decide, not mine.

Many have asked, what do i mean by 'nothing without sin'. I guess my explanation above should explain the logic.

An ardent believer of religion would jump high over heels objecting the very idea since accepting it, is equavalent to sidelining God as source of knowledge and at the same time, supporting Satan, all in the name of acquiring knowledge.

End of the day, I believe, its the weight of the knowledge itself that intrigues and kickstarts Sin, in other word, Knowledge wooed Sin to come closer.

Its the inter-connecting relationship between Knowledge and Sin.


Real life examples;

1)No disease could have been cured without watching a patient dies due to the disease and run tests in many other patients, causing death and so until a cure/treatment is found

2)Security measures are realized due to existence of security breach activity

3)Marriage is consumated due to long existence of selfish mutual satisfaction of lust which has the tendency to drift the entire society to its demise.

4)Financial management theories and practises are coined due to existence one or a few who has collosal wealth but unwilling to share with other; existence of greed

And the list can go on and on..

Immortal traits in Mortal beings

Say what would you write when you don't know what to write but, yet, there's this soft voice from beneath your ear telling you to just open the browser and start typing?

Maybe you'll start with some crappy line (please see above for sample) and when you come to your second paragraph, you'll have a general idea on what you'd need to write.

Just more loads of crap! Nah, not actually..

I am not expressive, yet I have this urge to blow away the surface of this planet in one go.

I feel, the pain caused by one human to another can only be eased by making them both share the pain.

Pain of guilt, and pain of remorse.

One leader's guilt will eventually bring the nation down to face its doom.

Happened in Tunisia. So does in Egypt. And brewing in Yemen, Oman, Libya etc.

And yet, we are still, constantly reminded to show gratitude to this nation's leader, whom corrupt practise is so well known, even to foreigners.

Damn I loath them! The last dust to decay from my bones will tell you the same, given chance.

That is, me.

Maybe that's the reason Im still here.
Im glad I am here.

Forcefully extracted from Unwilling Minds..

That title, would be what I would refer to, for those strange emotions we feel when we try to think hard to get the answers out for a crucial exam, which, usually not the favourite pastime for many of us.

And yes, I do believe that, tests and exams are just mean methods created by early dictators and tyrants in order to sort and distinguish between servants aka 'followers' and leaders aka 'rebels'.

Why would I say so? Do I have any proof to support my theory?
Well, no I don't have any scientifically proven facts to support but I do have a hypothesis which would do for the moment, I guess.

Think it over, why is it so hard for us to prepare for exams when we're in our higher secondary and college? Most of us do realise that those exams are the most important 'thing' which will determine our course of life, but..?

Doesn't it feel like someone or something high above is trying to push us to the limits of our sane mind, and at the same time extracting out the very memories we stuff in forcefully the night before by studying?

What happens with the results? Those with good grades get to be better employees with high salaries, and the leftovers, are seriously left behind without any aid but themselves to determine their own course of life.

Strange thing is, many of my friends who didn't do well in this type of exams are, in easier words, living a much better life than my friends whom use to score well in exams.

I am not opposing education system but I believe, we need a better and improvised testing and examining methods. Maybe some weird series of tests like the Vulcans, who knows??

Logically Emotional

Humans are, laden with emotional needs. No doubt about that... at all.

Every single movements, events, journeys, even thoughts are, to a certain extend, drived by emotional needs of that person for that specific time.

Love, hate, pride, compassion, faith, relations, anger, fear, lust… and more.

One can even classify the three most basic human needs; food, clothes and shelter are based on satisfying three most basic human emotions, not as an equation for survival of the species.

Let's take, for example the first basic need; food.
Most of us would probably be smiling away reading thing since, we know we could only 'consume' food that are up to our desirable taste and likings.

Doesn't that by itself proves, that quenching the 'liking' and 'satisfying' our tastebud are two different emotional needs? These are not to be mistakenly categorised as biological needs.

Given the right condition, humans would have consumed food as it is, raw, regardless of the taste that is, only if the food factor is truly a biological need essential for survival.

This view can still be argued with facts that consuming different types of food provides different nutrients needed for survival.

Well, how about clothes? When is that, humans realize the awareness, a ‘sense’ of being naked and the need to cover a minimal portion of skin?

What would we call that 'sense'? Shame? Civilised? Still, it’s just an emotion.

Right, still have space for argument though, that it is required to protect certain sensitive areas of the skin and so on…

How about shelter then? Why is there a need of having a shelter? Is it to satisfy the 'sense', or feeling of insecurity? Doesn't insecurity categorised as emotion as well?

Well yes, another lame argument is that shelter is for protection from harmful creatures. Doesn’t that confirm the existence of fear?

But, all these 'basic needs' and 'emotions' did trigger something greater in human mind than in any other life form at that time.

My opinion, it's the awareness of logical choices and sense of choosing a logical choice over emotional needs.

This awareness seemingly possess the ability to differentiate the emotional needs and isolate it, given logical choice for survival is not hiding away but to form a resistance.

Well, I don't need to explain how early humans managed to come out of cave and started exploring the known world at that time.

Seems, humans need that magic of Awareness again, in this life…

New 'New Year': Century old tradition..

So, all the Chinese dumped on this pathetic 'humungous rock' believes that the coming few days marks the beginning of New Year according to ‘Xia’ calendar, celebrating the beginning of Spring .

Well, I guess the Chinese scholars had a strong reason to mark this day because in ancient China, (around 500 BC), spring is something they would wait especially the mountain dwellers of Hainan and the Five Sacred Mountains.

It would be a time for them to come down and celebrate the first sunray, needed for agriculture civilisations such as ancient China.

It amazes me just to imagine, of an era where hundreds of powerful Chinese clans lived harmoniously, sworn loyalty to one reigning emperor. Of course, this can only be achieved when the Emperor himself is a man worth of such respect.

Chinese traditional calendar is one unique piece, its know as ‘lunasonic’ calendar, means the calendar not only shows the movements of the moon like all other civilisation’s traditional calendar, but it also tracks the movement of the sun.

That simply means the year is calculated as time frame between spring solstice or in this case, Chinese adapted the time frame from between two winter solstice to another (another method to record spring solstice).

Thus, by having all these distinct and arguably one of the most perfectly recorded civilisations this world ever saw, why then my Chinese friends don’t even know how to appreciate his roots?

Not being biased, but unfortunately my Indian and Malay friends have the same tendency to ‘throw’ away their root and grasp the western culture of secular livinghood.

Spring Solstice has been my second most admired time of the year, first of course the beginning of Winter Solstice (third week of June every year).

Easters and Asian culture worship Spring solstice as this would be the time their crops will be bountiful.

While Western, with originating roots from Normandic and fabled Vikings, they worship beginning of Winter Solstice since being a maritime based civilisation, they celebrate and thank the ‘Gods of the Sea’ – Odin/Poseidon etc for bringing back food and their men home safely.

Lucky Japanese, they have reason to celebrate both spring and winter solstice!

What does it means to me then, to celebrate a mythological celebration on an ‘auspicious’ day for Mother Nature?

How do I take advantage of these celebrations for my personal growth? Isn’t that the real meaning of these celebrations in the first place?

‘It is a pickle, no doubt about it!’
One thing certain, I believe everyday is special and I shall live holding to that belief since, not one day of my life will ever be repeated, ever.

Earth repeats its cycle every ‘year’ but we humans can’t, that’s the biggest drawback living in this Cursed Earth!

New Year what??

Certain post-karma events that prohibited my ability to 'connect' with virtual space seems to give levy for a short commentary, on the much anticipated event for 2010, well of course the New Year celebration on eve of 1st Jan, 2011.

I was driving to the fabled 'City of Lights' and I was just a few kilometres away when, I realised that I won't be able to make it before the New Year countdown, for what I saw on the highway was, thousands of poeple in hundreds of cars lined up for a good few kilometres away.

I am well known for my stand on not believing in these Cursed Earth celebrations that brings only temporal relieve and a sense of unrealistic hope, so that these pitiful Damned Souls could force themselves through, for another damned year.

But, as real as it seems, I could not help but wonder, isn't every day in our lives are, but new days that will never come back?

Why then we, humans deny this fact and treat it as though we have the capability to repeat those lost days?

Today is 2nd Jan, 2011. I can't repeat even a fraction of a second that hass passed by; solid proof of The Almighty's greed, He took all the hope-giving abilities just for Himself..

A dear friend of mine, lost a friend on Eve of New Year, hit by a drunkard who, ironically celebrating the coming this New shitty Year..

Sure we all have gone through such moments but what is the reason behind these events?

A few dear friends of mine, succumbed to Earth, lifeless, as their hopes of a new dawn, shattered by objects like cars, trucks, pointless fights and more..

Why did God strip us from eventualities? Is this His way of having fun? Does He celebrates New Year too? The one celebration that I duly believe that He created as a 'charity' for this pitiful, human race?

So many questions..
Yet I'm certain of one thing, no answer will be given today..
Or tomorrow, or the following day. In fact, no answer will be given at all by Him.

For the Agnostic friends of mine, remember, you have chosen life of believing in fate, and that is all there is, fate. Fate has done its job ripping a poor soul and willing to accept the blame, so blame it..

For the Atheist friends of mine, remember everything happens due to a reason that can be explained or will be able to be explained in future. Until you were given proper explanation, nothing else there is. These events occur as chain effect of what has been done in the past.

For dear friend of mine, no words to explain loss of life unexpectedly, especially due to unforgiving circumstances.

May the soul rest in peace and it's sins as human forgiven..
