Tangisan Merdeka

indah kata dari apa yang kau zahirkan,
terpalit duka pada nurani merdeka,
apakah yg terkandung didalam jiwa?
senyum tawa dibalik tabir air mata

kau biarkan mereka melihat dan tertawa
sudahkah engkau melupai kisah lalu?
ditipu hingga duduk teleku mendayu

segala kata-kata,setiap langkah kita,
bertali arus dari wacana mereka.
dan kita bagai pelihara menurut kata.
semua rasa jiwa,duka lara dan tawa
beputik dari jiwa yang memerdekakan.
tiada tulus dari bibir yang bicara

dikejauhan jiwa ini mencari jalan
mencari keberadaan hati merdeka

ku nantikan saat kau mati
untukku menyinari dunia tanpa dusta
agar benih subur melampir buah
aku hanya menyanyikan irama merdeka
agar kau menangis merayu dilepas...

Stars, where art thou?

Now that we're here,
peeople are more excited with the darkness of the night
than the shine from the stars
and the dimness of the moon.
O stars, where art thou?
Oh moon, light up yourself
and lit the people
so they may embrace the new dawn tomorrow.
I'm a star, to excite people with my faith.
To dress the people in the suits of humbleness,
wrapped in the calmness of the night,
serving for the creator of the stars and moon,
the sun and the earth,
the ruler of the night and day,
time and lives.

Oh Allah, strengthen me in your path,
for You are the Rabbul'alamin.

The price tag is there, dude!

I was typing through for another post the other day when I stumble upon this line. I thought it might be a good title for another post, so I halt for a while and create another post but kept it as a draft till today which I found the chance to compose the whole body. Well, looking back at the title, what is it that you can ambiguously derive from it? Anything that you can think of might be right or it might be wrong, and it depends on how you set your mind to perceive the line. So, here's what I got from my derivation; for everything that you do, there's a price to pay, may it big or small.

I've been browsing around the blogs that I know and I don't know who the author is and I accidentally found a couple that intrigues me to write this body of my post. These blogs were talking about groups that are present in their surroundings and how they feel about those groups. One of the blogs mentioned how it would be better for the groups to act like this and that and the other was telling the other blog to do this and that and said some of this and that, which in the end brought to THIS and THAT. Got it?

Ok, leave that behind. I don't want to talk much about those this and that but what I want to bring here is something behind those talkings and writings and blamings and labellings and what ever -ings that come to your mind(not mine). If you're gonna talk about poeple, you can always talk about people. If you're gonna blame people, you can always do that as well. You can do what ever things you are pleased with, but remember that there's something under the blanket that you need to be aware of. Often that we forget to lift the blanket and look what's under it when we've left it for a while. What I'm trying to convey here is that, when you do something, whether good or bad, you'll have to expect something as a result from what you did.

I wouldn't want to give bad examples, so here are some good examples. If you do a good deed, you might receive a good deed back or something nice for what you've done. If you help somebody, at least you'll get a smile and a bunch of thanks. When you perform solah, insyaAllah, you'll get the redha of Allah, if you're sincere in performing it. If you give sadakah, you might also earn the redha of Allah; once again, if you're sincere. So when you do something good with sincerity, insyaAllah, you'll get something from Allah. Might it not be here in this world, wait till they are shown to you in the akhirat. Anything good you do for the sake of Allah, you'll earn the benefit, insyaAllah.

Hence taking the equation into opposite form, you'll find that when you do a bad deed, you'll have to be ready for the consequences. When you talk bad things about people, you'll have to be ready for people of no or little understanding to talk about you back. And if not, you'll just have to get ready for the akhirat which is to take back what you've said and repent from those people and to Allah most importantly. If you harm somebody, just as before, you should apologise and repent or you'll be harmed. And for all the bad things you've done, you should repent if you don't want to be judged as a member of the jahanam. I don't want to talk much about the consequences in this world, but I fear more for the consequences in the akhirat that might be on you or me. So think about it. The price tag is there, dude! Don't pretend you can't see it.

Just a simple entry for the moment. I'm working on an entry that I pressume will be a long and heavy one. It might take a while for me to get it done cause I'm not born to write entries and update my blog everyday. InsyaAllah till the next entry.
