Tree of Democracy

I am just an ordinary rain tree
Living a life of quiet obscurity

When one fine morning in May
I was suddenly jolted by people in black

loudly making their way

To gather under my shade

Passing minutes under my umbrella of leafy spread

In somber tones and with dignity

Befitting the sitting of the Perak state assembly.

Many came to gaze and wonder at me

A plaque was erected at my knees

With cameras flashing instant fame

I was proclaimed

The Tree of Democracy

Oh what ecstacy!

But none too soon

It hastened my doom
The plaque was broken up

My roots were dug up

Baring my old weathered sole

Piercing my heart and soul.

But the men in black attended to my injury

Auctioned off the shattered plaque for charity

Bemoaning the Death of Democracy

Under the wounded rain tree.

椅子

我只不过是一张椅子

主人州议长深谙司法
风度翩翩君子古马

相伴十月

平安无事

谁知

二月变天

三只黑蛙跳槽

把霹雳州搞得天翻地覆

我永远不会忘记

五月七日那天

那慌乱地场面历历在目

国阵联合法庭

阵营凌厉

野夺州议席

蛮霸占椅子

主人对我依依不舍

将我十指紧扣

钻鼻里硬硬把我从主人身边抢走

在一片混乱中

我与主人失散了

主人被恶霸强拖走

被软禁足足两个小时

而我却不知所踪

没人能找到我

ONE BLACK MALAYSIA 霹雳地天空

霹雳地天空

在那静静地黑夜里

看不到天上地星星

只见到霹雳的天空

一瞬间变得更黑暗

黑暗

吞噬了霹雳，

黑暗

吞噬了民主，

黑暗

吞噬了人民地声音，

黑暗

吞噬了人民地呼吸。

在那漫长地黑夜里

霹雳子民都等待着天明

等待……又……

等待……

用什么

来化解我们的怨恨 ?

唯有

还政于民 !

用什么

来平息我们的愤怒?

唯有

解散州议会 !

用什么来安撫我们沸腾地心?

唯有

从新选举!

在那幽幽的黑夜里

无论霹雳的天空多么地黑暗

黎明终究会到来

于是，

人民起来!

用双手，

劈开天空 !

终于见到蓝天 !

ONE BLACK MALAYSIA

BLACK
Is the colour of my motherland MALAYSIA!
BLACK
Is the colour of my beloved MALAYSIA!
BLACK
Is the colour of my choice of dress.
BLACK
Is the colour of protest.

BLACK
Is the people's fury and hate!
BLACK
Is the death of the Silver State !
BLACK
Is the blood that is bled from democracy!
BLACK
Is the colour of Malaysia's sky and sea!

So much for 1 MALAYSIA.
Fight against 1 BLACK MALAYSIA !

Push for Democracy FIRST!

Demand for Election NOW!

FÜR ELI 2

Welcome back!
Don't look back!
You have weathered the worst of the storm.
Stay strong.

You have nothing left to fear
From all that you once held dear.
Hold your head high.
Look ahead and keep your spirit high.

Reborn and arise from the ashes of the phoenix,
For your mission in life is not finished.
The political woods are dark and deep,
And you have many miles to go before you sleep.

You only pass through this world but once.
So any human rights that is in want,
Do it right, but not to score gains,
For you shall not pass through this way again.

'You Are Loved'

I Dreamed a Dream

I dreamed a dream in time gone bye

When Hope was high

And the Struggle worth living

I dreamed that

Hope would never die

I dreamed that the

Party would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid

(of the FRU, water canons and arrests)

When dreams were made and used, and wasted

There were no ransom to be paid

(under ISA detention)

No song sung, no wine tasted

But the tigers came after March 08

With their voices soft as thunder

As they tear your hopes apart

As they turn up your Dreams to shame

And still I dream the Party'll come to its senses

And we still fight our struggles together

But there are dreams that cannot be

And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be

So different from this hell I'm living

So different now from what it seems

Now life has killed

The dream I dreamed

Adapted from 'Les Miserables'

FÜR ELI

FÜR ELI

DONT' GIVE UP!
YOU'RE LOVED.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging seems all uphill,
You cried, and yet you have to put on a brave face,
When the blow comes from the one closest to you

and left mud on your face.

Take a break now.
And wait for the dust to settle down,
Rest,
But don't you give up your zest.

Life can be cruel with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns
Many turn about
When they might have won had they stuck it out

So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit!
DONT' GIVE UP!
YOU'RE LOVED
