All those thoughts
Out in the open
Once it was not meant
With any malicious intent

Now it will lead to fights
Just a brush of shoulders
Would bring forth
The urge to fight

Prejudices inbuilt, inborn, inherited
Perpetuated
We are human after all
Aren't we
The same desires
The same dreams

Change must come
And it must begin
From within
Ourselves

Faith and miracles
Believe and trust
Hand in hand
Leading us to salvation

Elsa, the saviour
Is she really what she says she is
Did she see what she saw
Or is it all just an imagination

But people want to believe
They want that miracle to happen
Especially when there is no hope
A miracle does wonders

With the fame, scavengers throng
Picking up fruits of the labour
But once the miracle stops
Everyone turns the other way

But can miracles stop
Or is it a prelude
To a bigger miracle
A momentous event

Elsa, the girl, the woman
The abandoned child
The trusted friend
Who could not help
When we do need miracles

But as she says
The miracle is within
Ourselves

Kinsey

USA 2004

Seen 5 July 2009

Human sexual behaviour
A taboo subject for some
But a fascinating study
For Dr. Kinsey

Growing up with a strict father
Repressed feelings, high expectations
Might have been a factor
Leading him to study nature

His quest to find a link
To study sexual histories
Began with his own marriage

That first night set the wheels in motion
To help indirectly, to understand better
The sexual act between human beings
What is common and what is not

The report had no precedent
Scandalous, ground breaking

But for every voice against
There was someone
Who said thank you to Kinsey

He started a revolution
Of course with many
Minor and major faults
He had blazed a path
For others to continue
To learn more about ourselves

But he did acknowledge
He cannot measure love

Surviving Beijing

Malaysia 2000

Seen 4 July 2009

A musical journey
A search, a quest
A test, a challenge
Can they cut it
In the big bad world

They chose Beijing
The mecca for many
A one month sojourn
With much hope and anticipation

On the outskirts of the metropolis
An underground music haven
A community of like minded musicians
This is their destination
Here they will congregate
In the hopes of discovering, learning
Exchanging ideas

The early adjustments
Was just a prelude
To the first setback
Unprepared, a blow to the ego

Depressed, arguments, bad feelings
Outpourings of the heart
Until that sweet promise comes along

Yes, they managed to go through
That final concert
Before the journey home

But the journey revealed
The many shades of each band member
Differences, similarities, dreams
And those committed to the music
Will continue on another journey
