Dedicated to all my friends who throw


A friend once told
doin da'wa is like
throwing a ball
onto the wall

Another friend of mine
once threw her ball
with all might
that she could call

The ball flew
it flew fast
very fast
and it slammed the wall

The ball bounced
it came back
with full force
hunting the face
of the one who threw

The ball sang
it sang 'Scorpions' 1999 hit
"What you give, you get back"

The ball hit her
it hurt her
both physically and emotionally
but she was strong

"This is, sunnatullah," said her.
Newton 3rd Law-wise
the harder the ball go
the harder it will come so

The ball that I threw
Did not go far enough
Not far enough
Even to touch the heart of the wall

It seemed that
I still have a long way
a long long way
to throw.

baru-baru ini ada org lukiskan karikatur. Che Det diibaratkan roti telur dan Pak Lah diibaratkan roti kosong.

di sini(Kelantan) ada satu lagi roti yg mungkin tak ada di mana-mana tempat yg lain

roti secotek

roti kosong yg dilekatkan sebiji telur mata kerbau di atasnya...

mm.. rasa2nya kt tempat lain pun ada gak kot roti secotek tu.. tp nama lain sikit lah.. org panggil roti tampal. pasal telur tu macam ditampal je kt atas roti kosong tu.
