Beginning of The End
srizals
How far have we walked to get here?
Looking back at things left behind
All of the memory
All of the glory
The journey was long and painful
Everyone was filled with hope
Everyone had something to fear
Everyone must have something to gear
Then the nobles declared nobly
The fools are now kings
The kings are now fools
The 600 dollar wiremen now earn 6,000 a month
The tapper tapped more money than the wise man that had taught many
Rejoice!
Everything is possible
Even though that possibility is not necessarily for everybody
Some must be sacrificed in order to win hearts and minds of the 'people'
Some must be neglected in order not to neglect the 'people'
Some must be left behind so that the 'people' would smile and smile effortlessly
So we must start peoplelising everything and everyone
People this and people that
Except the nobles and their nobly friends
Could all people have their peoplely rights?
Without any people end up feeling that they were not peoplely treated right?
The rich and the poor are people
What lies between them are the otherwise
In the land of Negri Antah Berantah
In the land of a far, faraway land.

Perfectionist
srizals
pERfectionist?
Is there such a thing? I mean if we're perfect, why should there be two places waiting for us when we're done here? Why should good has evil as its pair? Why should we exist in the first place if any of us can find perfection without try and error? Are we without lust and desire like the angels? Were we created out of light?
"I was afraid that I had to be perfect to become Muslim. Now I realize that balancing this struggle is at the root of submission to God. As long as I make the effort, I see the rewards tumble into my life threefold. It takes perspective and patience to interpret the blessings sometimes, as I still struggle through Ramadan and my five-daily-prayers, but I am beyond grateful."

So many people around us trying to act smart by making others the fools, but sadly, not much wisdom around to comfort the man that has to balance the beast and the good, deep within himself.
For having to endure such gross error, I have to be reminded with my own shortcomings. But, tolerance has a limit. Should it not?
Can those who like to make others laugh in religious discourse make their audience cry? This I can't help but wonder. Can those who love to call people as fools and idiots be the inheritor of the way of the Prophet s.a.w.?
If so, then no one would become a Muslim because of the wrong message and the wrong way we're adopting to uphold righteousness. And that would be a total shame.
