I hear this song on the radio
Waving in the wind the last straw
I have looked up with high expectation
To my heroes in the opposition
They were for me, a senior Malaysian citizen,
An ever hopeful beacon.
I have spoken up and written down for justice
Now fast sinking into the abyss of denial
I find myself adrift in a rudderless vessel
Caught in the cross currents of turbulent waters
Waving my hands frantically to the Pakatan boat
Fading into the hazy skies of Malaysia.
Will I sea a change in the tempest
In the remaining years of my life time?
The lyrics of the song keep repeating in my ears
“Say (do) something, I’m giving up on you”
