#734 On Courage At Work

With downcast eyes averting from the ask
They seek to abdicate the given role
So highly paid, yet keen to shirk the task
They run with wolves but seek to play the mole
The life well lived: with hearts right on the line
The courage to persist is nigh divine!

#732 Tentang Gosip

Gembar gembur itu
Tersembur dari lidah-lidah yang bercabang
Meluncur masuk ke telinga-telinga yang bersarang
Bergelumang dalam madu hitam yang berlumpur
Melebur kebenaran
Sehingga yang ada cuma
Kerobohan
Kebobrokan
Kehancuran.

#730 Tentang Bayang-Bayang

Bayang-bayang itu
Datang sekilas dan terus hilang
Mata hati terbakar gersang
Dan aku merasa hilang…
Hilang dalam gering jiwa
Yang meronta mencabik menggarang.

#729 On Collective Surveys

In colonnades of many-coloured hues
The gathered crowd opines in aggregate
We strain to give true voice to diff’ring views
And lend some solid shape to tense debate
The cut and thrust of thoughts in mannered form
Conceals the roiling growls - a muted storm.
