How old were you when you realised
That the world is unfair?
That some of us get treated better
for having the right skin complexion?
That some of us are worshipped and prayed for
for being born out of the right womb?
That some of us will get scholarships
and others will barely learn how to read
for having the right words on our identity cards?
How angry were you when you realised all this?
How relieved were you when you found out
That injustice was done in your favour?
#436 Tentang Langau Yang Mau Bebas
Demi kuasa, kau tepiskan malu
Demi harta, berjuta kau sapu
Walau jatuh ke tanah, masih kau
Cuba melompat, cuba melangkau
Tiada insaf walaupun tertumpas
Masih melangau, menuntut bebas.
On Cops and Robbers
These days I can’t tell
the difference between the
cops and the robbers.

As Johnny Cash would say, you can run on for a long time, but sooner or later God’ll cut you down.
