Inspired II
I write this now
Under the sunshine bright skies
The shade of a cedar tree
casting a cooling shadow
over me
As pen touches paper
I remember
Nostalgia of past summers
A movie played in rewind
Full of colour and life
Romance and Soul
I've been there once
If only I could
Be a child again
Feel every blade of grass
Tickle my feet
As I run barefoot, full of energy
Until I stop and can run no more
But I am old
Every inch of grace
Stolen by time
My body defeated
As moving is difficult
An everyday chore
Yet my heart is the same
Young and free
Still being able to imagine
uncorrupted dreams
Away from the realities and hardships
People face each day
Maybe not all of us live life my way
As who is to be the adult
If everyone are to be like children
But we should remember
Who we were before who we are
We were all young once
The sun is setting
Wind is dancing through the leaves
A soft waltz of dusk
My time is nearly over now
It is dark
The azan can be heard nearby
As beautiful as ever
Even through these ancient ears
Night is beautiful
Sequin stars glittering
On her beautiful black dress
The Moon is shining, grinning
I smile back
and take my last breath

The Lost Symbol

The new novel by the great Dan Brown is finally out! Check this sneak peek:Langdon is a professor of "symbology." (Brown says there's no such academic field. "The closest is symbiotics.") He becomes entangled in a search for a madman who has kidnapped Langdon's mentor, Peter Solomon, director of the Smithsonian Institution.
The madman offers clues, starting with Solomon's severed hand, left on the floor of the Capitol Rotunda. His fingertips, tattooed with Masonic symbols, point up to the ceiling and an actual 1865 painting of George Washington as a god.
Washington, like most of the Founding Fathers, was a member of the Freemasons, the secretive and mysterious fraternal order.
Citing national security, the CIA gets involved for reasons that aren't explained until Chapter 117.
More clues are found throughout Washington, including Melencolia I, a 1514 engraving by Albrecht Dürer in the National Gallery. As Langdon explains, "The symbolism in Melencolia I is so complex it makes Leonardo da Vinci look overt."

Inspired
You live by the sword,
Die by the sword,
The battlefield your birthplace,
and your deathbead,
Your hands be wet with blood of others,
who dare step in your path.
You strike fear into your enemies,
Heartless, without emotion,
You gave your life,
To take the lives of others,
Leaving behind everything in your past,
You are a soldier, not you anymore.
Past memories,
Burnt into ashes,
Friends, Family
Mean nothing,
Love, Friendship,
Mean nothing.
The day you finally take your final breath,
Nothing is left of you, but a rotting corpse
Nobody remembers you, as you did not remember them,
You are meaningless, a grain of sand in a dessert.
You were a soldier, but not now anymore.
By Muhammad Arsyad Azrai a.k.a. Fatman
note:
this poem is not in anyway an assault against the soldiers of our age. The men and women protecting our country are great people, and shall forever be remembered. I am just inspired by the heartless soldiers of the ancient times, those who gave their lives for only violence and war...

Exams

As a student, I am anti-exams. That means I hate exams. Badly. Why can't people realize that creativity is more important than what we learn in books? Even Albert Einstein believed that! But nooooo...
There I was, at my table, tired, dizzy, confused, and I didn't what the hell the answer to no. 15 was. Nor did I know the answers to the other questions, mind you. This is pointless... Who remembers any of this stuff anyway!!? Ask me any history question after I've graduated and I wouldn't be able to answer even if my life depended on it.
As a student, I am anti-exams. Period.
But it wasn't all bad. I got no.20 in my form after all...
Happy No. 52

Look where we are now. People say never look into the past, but for me the past is where we learn. We strive as who we are everyday so that the people after us will remember our deeds and our battles. We make mistakes and record them in history so that our future generation will not repeat the same mistakes.
Forgetting the past is forgetting who we are. The battles fought by our nation's many heroes define who we are as a nation, our wishes and how we see the world. Malaysians are peaceful people, yet we are not afraid of fighting for our rights when trouble shows its ugly face. We have won many battles, and proved our strength and unity as one nation, headed towards a goal that before seemed way out of reach.
But that was the past, and things are not what they used to be. Change is the law of life, yet it remains a delicate subject. Change through my eyes may be different through another man's eyes. Every decision in life we make has its pros and cons, and it's how we look at each and every one of them defines how we live life everyday.
Subject in hand, Malaysia isn't what it was before. Cultural toleration has turned into racism, democracy into money politics, and peace into tension. I may be too young to say too much, but I'm not blind. We are starting to break apart, fighting amongst each other for power and ringgit, forgetting why we agreed to live together in the first place.
How did we come to this, Malaysia?
But that doesn't mean that I don't love being Malaysian, as it is who I am and I don't want to be anyone else. We have been in tighter situations before, and you know what? I believe we're going to get through this together, for now and forever. Merdeka!
1Malaysia!!!!
Starting New
For of those of you who know,
I have had a blog before this, but that's history.
I'm starting off with a new, clean slate this time.
It's not just about the poetry, it's about fatman, too.
