Poem
Salam, how are you there? Wassalam, good, Alhamdulillah How about the issue in Sabah Nothing to worry I am worried because you are my friend I am okay; just want to know your opinion No probs, what do you think of that opinion? Does it hurt you personally? Nope, it makes sense I am not personally taking part, I have my own problem Indeed but I am so sad, many don’t understand the situation They are taking one side condemning Suluk in general So as the other Suluk in Sulu archipelago Many also condemning Melayu in general I always think about others My cousin, a policeman is in the frontline I am so sad, pray hard Please cry with me I am here for you to lend your cry Can I pretend nothing happen? We can’t pretend to be nothing to happen Then rest and cry with me To make people understand is not easy Sometime we also take time to understand our situation I am hurt to what happen, we are being fooled by colonisers They ask us to inherit this misery Hmmm I am so sorry to hear that Hopefully you won’t hate the Suluk generally So, as long as it does not contradict to my stand What is your stand supposedly? At least I have one good friend from Jolo ancestry I am a good friend because you are good I know nothing about the war; I just wanted to know the peace It’s really easy to smile and pretend that you are okay Rather than telling people why you are sad It’s not easy to imagine that war I just want to keep it by my self I wanted to keep this in my sleep When I wake up tomorrow Peace is expected to blow Let have this peace to reign right away The poem is made through the conversation with Malay friends from Kuala Lumpur about the conflict happened in Lahad Datu. We shall never put the bangsa in general as what we are thinking is right: Suluk is bad and Melayu is arrogant. We need a better understanding to conclude that each bangsa like Suluk and Melayu have nothing to do with the situation. It is a matter of siding the truth and rights. I therefore personally accepted if everyone hates me because I am Suluk and that would make the world stay in peace and to save peace, I am willing to be called such: “Suluk is bad and Melayu is arrogant” but the “country and world is peaceful” is achieved. The war declared ended today by Malaysian authority. Let Us All Save Peace. Layag Sug. 11th March 2013, Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia!
