Moil


We did not choose to live a life on hard mode

Vanguard from our backyard, to being stowed


Tattered, patches and holes

Do hide the thinning soles


Of the poor man’s walk through these halls, 

Our contributions to the tyrants’ decked walls


We moved on from these stalls

And kept plowing towards our goals


But with an ever-growing horizon 

Our dreams are always in the beyond


Yet, our ever-grinding tale of 50s blues 

Is no crinkle in the cycle of breaking news


Nonetheless, we believe in what we do

Enough to keep on till the breakthrough

万歳

First came gender
Then came colour
And after came religion
One after the other
Another cut, another incision

Now with every choice,
You affirm your individuality
Fight for a voice
Yet, eroding solidarity

Why do you focus so much
On the superfluous?
You silently judge
While keeping a grudge

And forget the most important
The common factors lying dormant
Playing in the warmongers' hands 
No one taking a stand

I beg of you please
Put your own soul at ease
Fight not coz of things that divide us
But rather those that unite us

Don't be a minus
When you can be a plus

Ode to the Parents

So much to say
About this journey
From that day to today
You've never left me

All these years
So many laughs and tears
The love, care and affection
Made me the person I am today

You taught me the right way
Led me through the complications
Stood by me every step of the way
Until this day, here today

So today, I honour you
For all that you've been through
Only to bring me to this day
So I bow to both of you
And say "Thank you!"

Mother, father
We'll love you forever
Until our last breath,
In death, and even after

Optimisme

Tant de craintes et peurs,
Mais ensemble on peut combattre ces frayeurs
La nuit arrive à sa fin
Avec le soleil qui se lève

C'est un jour tout nouveau
On va faire de nouveaux rêves

Même s'il y'en a qui resteront
Des figments de notre imagination
On fera avec, on appréciera les plaisirs
Même s'ils crèvent a mi-chemin
On restera fier!
On verra au-dessus ces douleurs

Il y aura des fois où on les combattra
Et d'autres où on les ignorera

Avec cet état d'esprit qu'est l'espoir
On vivra pour voir un nouvel aube
On ne cessera pas de croire
Car on est tous sur le même globe

Nos efforts ne seront pas en vain
Et on vivra pour voir un nouveau lendemain...
