Dua Kali Kecewa

"Tak lama lagi tahun baru.Selalunya tahun baru kita sambut dengan meriah,ada persembahan.Kamu semua nak buat persembahan,nyanyi-nyanyi macam tahun 1,2 dan 3 dulu?",tanya cikgu kurus berambut blonde itu.

"Taknak!".kata Mus.
"Kami semua dah besar panjang",kata aku,spontan.

"Kita ada lagu baru yang best-best..Dewan pun dah baru.Ada muzik semua,macam artis.",kata cikgu berambut blonde yang kurus itu.

"Taknak!".Kata Zura.Geleng-geleng kepala.
"Macam budak-budak,buat barisan atas pentas,nyanyi-nyanyi.",tambah Kak Huda.

Yang lain ada yang tersengih,ada yang buat bunyi,ada yang tarik muka.

"Saya kecewa dengan kamu semua.Kamu semua fikir dulu,lain kali saya akan tanya lagi.",kata cikgu kurus berambut blonde itu.

"Jangan..NANTI KECEWA DUA KALI..",kata aku,dalam hati...

*Dialog ini telah diringkaskan.Kali ini kami taknak mengalah kepada cikgu blonde yang kurus,yang tak sporting itu.Kami perlukan anjakan paradigma.

Siapa Pengganas?!

Who’s the terrorist?
I’m the terrorist?
How I am a terrorist when you have taken my land?
Who’s the terrorist?
You are the terrorist!
You have taken everything I own when I am living in own homeland

You are killing us like you have killed our ancestors
You want me to go to the law?
What for?
You are the lawyer, the witness and the judge
If you are my judge
I’ll be sentenced to death
You want us to be the minority?
To end up the majority in the cemetery?
In your dreams!

You are a democracy?
Actually its more like the Nazis!
Your countless raping of the Arabs’ soul
Finally impregnated it
Gave birth to your child
His name : Suicide Bomber
And then you call him the terrorist?
You attack me but still you cry out
When I remind you it was you who attacked me
You silence me and shout :
“But you let small children throw stones!”
“Don’t they have parents to keep them at home?”

What?!
You must have forgotten you buried our parents under the rubble of our homes
And now when my agony is so immense
You call me the terrorist?!

Who’s the terrorist?
I’m the terrorist?
How I am a terrorist when you have taken my land?
Who’s the terrorist?
You are the terrorist!
You have taken everything I own when I am living in own homeland

Why terrorist?! Because my blood is not calm…It’s boiling
Because I hold my head high for my homeland
You have killed my loved ones
Now I’m all alone
My parents driven out
But I will remain to shout out

I’m not against peace
Peace is against me
It’s going to destroy me
Erase my culture
You don’t listen to our voices
You silence us and degrade us

And who are you?!
And when do you become ruler?!
Look how many you have killed
And how many orphans you have created
Our mothers are crying
Our fathers are in anguish
Our land is disappearing

And I’ll tell you who you are!
You grew up spoiled
We grew up in poverty
Who grew up with freedom?
And who grew up in confinement?
We fight for our freedom
But you have made that a crime
And you the terrorist!-Call me the terrorist!

Who’s the terrorist?
I’m the terrorist?
How I am a terrorist when you have taken my land?
Who’s the terrorist?
You are the terrorist!
You have taken everything I own when I am living in own homeland

So when will I stop being a terrorist?!
When you hit me and I return the other cheek
How do you expect me to thank
The one who harmed me?!

I tell you what!
You tell me how you want me to be!
Down on my knees with my hands tied up
My eyes to the ground
Surrounded by goodies
Houses destroyed
Families driven out
Our children orphaned
Our freedom chained up

You oppress
You kill
We bury
But we remain patient
We’ll suppress our pain
Most importantly you feel secure
Just relax and leave us all the pain

You see, our blood is like that of dogs
Not even!
When dogs die they receive sympathy
So our blood is not as valuable as a dogs
No-my blood is valuable
And I will continue to defend myself
Even if you call me a terrorist
