I was born 48 years ago
I move from job to job
For each the definition of being a Malay changes
As you know the academics fights over this definition
but they forgotten the instruction the Creator
that I do not make in tribes thou but of
one purpose -- that you teach and learn the weakness
and the strengths
and to add
their likes and dislikes
for perservering in such endeavours
will in the happy end
harboured you with the elusive secrets of
the Malay race
For each job that I took opens
with relook at the way it means
to be a non Malay and a Malay
and there is I see only beauty
Look at the Straits Chinese and the Indonesised Chinese
how hauntingly beautiful they are
with the humility of the daint and the sharpness of
their empress minds of Old China
so I felt
Now as to the first job.
I became a nurse.
I met a friend called Terry. Terry is old short.
But has a beautiful mind.
We discuss alot about races
He called mine the lazy lots.
I called His the shrewd that we stay away.
But all we do in love.
Without Terrys skin, he is closest to my hearts.
For talk about our fears our dreaded fears at the school
of nursing.
From him I begin to see the meaning of being a Malay.
Is it just skin deep. Or is it something else.
Now in order to accept him we went on endless hrs together
and the malest of male places
for according to him.
I shant say
but he did say
that there is a function of life which worship all.
That I shant say
since the Uniform of being Malay
I shant say but I believe
there is a commentary from Malay
ulamaks of every station in life.
including how a pair should function.
till death do us apart.
