Definition : A hoax is a deliberately fabricated falsehood made to masquerade as truth. It is distinguishable from errors in observation or judgment.

I was down and sad about the news I saw and heard that day. The accusation, the allocation of blames and loyalty. Some I know it’s true but some is just too painful to ignore or to swallow. It hurts and scarred me.

Felt betrayed, annoyed and disgusted with what I heard, I poured all the anger, sadness, resentment and hatred on canvas. And the prose below best describes the event and what I felt at that particular moment. As for now, I let go and let God.

Kawan kah itu?

Kata, kata, kata dan kata lagi,
Mengatalah kau selagi kau boleh berkata-kata.
Tuduh, tuduh, tuduh dan tuduh lagi,
Jangan menuduh hingga dituduh pula.
Hina, hina, hina dan hina lagi,
Jangan menghina hingga dihina nanti.

Aku tahu hal kau, kau dan kau,
Bukan dari yang lain,
Bukan dari yang tak tahu,
Tapi dari kau, kau dan kau juga.

Dan yang sadisnya,
Aku juga tahu,
Bahawa kau, kau dan kau,
Berkata tentang aku.

Berdesas, berdesis,
Ke sana, ke sini,
Menjaja cerita,
Yang tak ternilai.

Kerana yang paling galak bercerita itu,
Paling ramai pengikutnya.

Mungkin bernilai sepotong janji,
Untuk tidak dikongsi dengan yang lain,
Mungkin bernilai kosong,
Untuk mengisi suasana hening,
Mungkin bernilai besar,
Untuk mendapat perhatian.

Yang pasti,
Yang di atas sana,
Lebih mengetahui nilainya,
Untuk kau, kau dan kau bayar suatu hari nanti,
Sama ada di sini – yang lebih cepat dan berat,
Atau pun di sana – yang aku pun tak pasti apa jumlah yang tepat!

"He That Believeth Shall Not Make Haste“

The aloes grow upon the sand,

The aloes thirst with parching heat;

Year after year they waiting stand,

Lonely and calm, and front the beat

Of desert winds; and still a sweet

And subtle voice thrills all their veins:

"Great patience wins; it still remains,

After a century of pains,

To you to bloom and be complete."

I grow upon a thorny waste;

Hot noontide lies on all the way,

And with its scorching breath makes haste

Each freshening dawn to burn and slay,

Yet patiently I bide and stay:

Knowing the secret of my fate,

The hour of bloom, dear God, I wait,

Come when it will, or soon or late,

A hundred years are but a day.

I am done

Smoking gun

We've lost it all

The love is gone

She has won

Now its no fun

We've lost it all

The love is gone

And we had magic

And this is tragic

You couldn't keep your hands to yourself

I feel like our world's been infected,

And somehow you left me neglected

We've found our lives been changed

Babe, you lost me

And we tried

Oh, how we cried

Oh, we lost ourselves

The love has died

Now I know you're sorry

And we were sweet

Oh, but you chose lust when you deceived me

And you'll regret it, but it's too late

How can I ever trust you again?

There's two things I know for sure:

She was sent here from heaven and she's daddy's little girl.

As I drop to my knees by her bed at night

She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes and

I thank god for all the joy in my life

Oh, but most of all

For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;

sticking little white flowers all up in her hair;

"Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride."

"I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried."

In all that I've done wrong

I know I must have done something right

to deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet 16 today

She's looking like her mama a little more everyday

One part woman, the other part girl.

To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls

Trying her wings out in a great big world.

But I remember

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;

sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.

"You know how much I love you, Daddy, but if you don't mind

I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time."

With all that I've done wrong I must have done something right

to deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night.

All the precious time

Like the wind, the years go by.

Precious butterfly.

Spread your wings and fly.

She'll change her name today.

She'll make a promise and I'll give her away.

Standing in the bride-room just staring at her.

She asked me what I'm thinking

and I said "I'm not sure-I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."

She leaned over...

Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there,

Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair

"Walk me down the aisle, Daddy-it's just about time."

"Does my wedding gown look pretty,

Daddy? Daddy, don't cry!"

Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right.

To deserve your love every morning and butterfly kisses

I couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is.

I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember

every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses.

Butterfly In The Wind

A child is...

A butterfly in the wind,

but each one flies the best it can.

Each one is different!

Each one is special!

Each one is beautiful!

A butterfly hovers closely

And then quickly moves away,

Swiftly going wheresoever

Her heart may freely say.

A butterfly lowers and rises

With the wind's gusty breath,

As if coupled within a dance

Of a loving tenderness.

The butterfly only knows

How it feels to have wings,

To kiss the petals of flowers

In such elegant flitterings.

To have but one moment

Of such an esquisite flight,

Would be like a dream

Where all seems so right.

Airplanes take you away again

are you flying above where we live

then I look up, a glare in my eyes

are you having regrets about last night

I'm not, but I like rivers that rush in

so then I dove in

Is there trouble ahead for you, the acrobat?

I won't push you, unless you have a net

Balloons look good from on the ground

I fear with pins and needles around

we may fall then stumble upon a carousel

It could take us anywhere

You say the word you know I will find you

or if you need some time I don't mind

I don't hold on to the tail of your kite

I'm not like the girls that you've known

but I believe I'm worth comin' home to kiss away night

this girl only sleeps with butterflies

So go on and fly then, boy

I looked at your face I saw that all the love had died

I saw that we had forgotten to take the time

I, I saw that you couldn't care less about what you do

Couldn't care less about the lies

You couldn't find the time to cry

We forgot about love

We forgot about faith

We forgot about trust

We forgot about us

You said that you had said all that you had to say

You said baby it's the end of the day

And we gave a lot but it wasn't enough

We got so tired that we just gave up

We didn't respect it

We went and neglected it

We didn't deserve it

But I never expected this

Our love floated out the window

Our love floated out the back door

Our love floated up in the sky to heaven

It's part of a plan

It's back in God's hands

Back in God's hands

It didn't last

It's a thing of the past

Oh we didn't understand

Just what we had

Oh I want it back

Oh just what we had
