Jangan Lupa Bersyukur

THE AIR
".....
 Because we are alive
 we are bound to struggle on
 no matter how suffocated
 no matter how unclean
 simply gasping
 just for a breath of life"

The Poetry of Singapore

WORDS

"Ocean will not hear your cries

 for it has no ears

 you must not look at the sky

 unlike man it has no eyes

 You must not talk to the trees

 for they have not the five sense

The words is an effective weapon

 it can raise your status

 and also bring you down

 in lowest degradation
