The Tsunami

The Tsunami

GE13 has come and gone,
But the racists still drone and drone…..
This event brings forth a huge storm
Of righteous passion, pure and strong.
Despite the whirlpool of dark threats,
May 5 shows the Malaysians great.
They flocked to attend the address,
Defying vile threats of unrest.
They even braved the falling rain,
And their support was not in vain.
They dare give life to a just cause,
Sometimes, at a rather great cost.
They are the real, unnamed heroes,
Who want a better tomorrow.
From north to south, and east to west,
They come in thousands to attest
Their right to a true Malaysia,
Full of fairness and ambrosia;
Not one rented with racism,
Not one fouled with cronyism.
They abhor discrimination,
And those nefarious corruption.
Though they were robbed of their great dream,
In the face of crude, racist scream.
They inspire the tsunami
Of righteousness, not enmity.
The tsunami springs from their heart,
In protest of politics’ black art.
That tsunami embraces all
Malaysians who choose to walk tall.
Right thinking Chinese and Malays,
Indians and Kadazans, relay
To carry the torch of freedom,
Convinced of a moral wisdom.
This tsunami of majority,
Suffused with bright mentality,
Is still growing ever bigger,
Bonding unity ever stronger.
When despair goes, and faith returns,
Bad government will fall in turn,
Swept out by people’s tsunami,
Formed by those ordinary ‘me’.
With truth, justice as homily,
They join force as a family,
To march towards Putrajaya.
They will be there till berjaya!
