Live and life

Typsimile 1996 (Malaysia)



Do and the don't
How life get us here?
Which corner are we?
Lost in the middle of nowhere
Speaking the truth and yet is it really a truth?
Or perspectives?

Different minds different views
Different eyes different vision
Different ears different interpretation
Different tongues different tastes
When the eyes speak it language
The ears might not understand
When the tongue taste it
The hand might not understand
So how would you understand?

The logical might say this
The spiritual might say that
The ignorant just say anything
The neutral nodding their head
The observant smiling at them
Might know something or else clueless about everything
At the end of the day
Hand up!
Perhaps you know perhaps you don't know
Dont brood!
Just don't!

The faith
Standing where you should be
As a believer
Hold on with the knowledges you have learnt
But giving some space for 'only God knows well'
And perhaps the words from the one who fears God?
