153. BROKEN

(Credit & appreciation to the owner of this picture)

The sky is your roof
The ground is your bed
Each day a laboured one
Each night in cold sweat 

That once manly body 
now haggard and weary
And that brawny skin
now covered with dirt

Yet in that peaceful slumber
I see no hatred
I see no anger just pain
and may be regret

Your heart must have been
Broken a hundred times
Your tears must have frozen
Or they have just run dry

What might be the reason 
for such great suffering?
Why have life been so cruel? 
Was it her or was it you?

How many would care to know
How many bother to see
the pain that you bear
in such adversity?

If I know where you are
I would ask how might I help
May be share my lunches
or have my dinners instead

To God in heaven I can only pray
to ease your burden each passing day
To grant you mercy and forgiveness
To guide you again and show you the way

152. HARUSKAH?

(Credit & appreciation to the owner of this picture)

Haruskah aku dipermainkan
di hujung jejari mu
seperti patung wayang kulit
dikuasai Tok Dalang nya?

Haruskah engkau menguasai
hidup ku yang singkat ini
ibarat embun di hujung rumput
hilang tibanya suria di pinggir langit?

Haruskah?
