Another Poem

This is another poem by Sensei which encouraged me a lot at this time-

The curtain has opened on the second decade
Moving no longer in a line but over a broad surface
you work to build the towering and fruitful culture of the twenty-first century
This will be the stage upon which you perform!
This will be your debut!
I have a mission which is mine alone
You too have a mission which only you can fulfil.

- SGI President Ikeda

How meaningful! How encouraging! It has deeply touched my heart. I will fulfil my mission.

Poem by Sensei

An excerpt from Cosmic February 2008, Sensei's poem to Kaneko-

My heart in the midst of storm
My heart beats fast
Does my heart beat fast because of the storm?
No, it is to a mysterious melody
Oh, this throbbing heart!
I find in your heart a spring
May flowers bloom within your heart


P/S: A request by Angga, a SGI Indonesia member.

Stop the bickering!

It has been some time since I posted anything. The reasons being I am busy settling into my new job since beginning of this month and the other is I am too fed up and disgusted by what had happened in the political scenes.

Malaysia, should be a land of hope and peace where Malaysians should be able to enjoy peace and prosperity within a stable political and economic background. But all these has turned out to be far reaching and impossible at this moment.

While the leaders are busy plotting and planning each other's downfall and ways to earn more of the rakyat's money, the rakyat are struggling to come to terms with the exorbitant cost of living. While the leaders exchange blows for blows, eye for an eye, the rakyat are finding ways to save, be prudent and earn some extra money for a living.

Last night, I saw the news about Samy Vellu talking about leaders should work for the people all the time and not always think of making money from their positions. I nearly wanted to crush the TV. How thick faced he can be to be talking about this. I really have lost whatever faith left I had about our current leaders.

I am intoxicated with the amount of politics that are happening in the country so much so that I am facing toxicity effects. I can stand it no more. If they do not stop their hanky panky, the country is definitely doomed.

It is time the people stand united and stand up for our rights. We deserve better than this! We deserve the best leaders to lead our country.
