Praying For Time

These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers

This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance and legitimate excuses

The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much but we’ll take our chances
‘Cause God stopped keeping score

I guess somewhere along the way
He must have let us all out to play
And turned his back
And all God’s children
Crept out the back door

And its hard to love
Theres so much to hate
Hanging onto hope
When there is no hope to speak of

And the wounded skies above
Say its much too late
Oh maybe we should all be praying for time

This is the year of the empty hand
Oh you hold onto what you can
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year

These are the days of the guilty man
The television takes a stand
And you find that what was over there
Is over here

So you scream from behind your door
Say whats mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much
But I’ll take my chances cause God stopped keeping score

And you’ll cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That he cant come back
‘Cause he has no children to come back for

And its hard to love when there's so much to hate
And hanging onto hope
When there is no hope to speak of

And the wounded skies above
Say its much, much too late
Well maybe we should all be praying for time

Hebatkah Malaysia ??

Hhhmmm...
Kalo ngomongin masalah Malaysia pasti pada keluar urat semua. Mau orang yang mengerti permasalahannya maupun orang yang sama sekali gak mengerti.
Emang banyak hal-hal yang Malaysia lakukan yang bikin kita-kita emosi. Uda banyak kepunyaan kita yang diakuin, seperti Kris, Tari Pendet sampe Reog Ponorogo. Mungkin karena gak punya budaya sendiri kali ya makanya mereka mengakui budaya orang lain.
Sebenarnya sehebat apa sih Malaysia itu ???
Ini ada beberapa hal yang harus dibaca dulu sebelum menjawab pertanyaan tadi.

Judulnya :
10 KEBODOHAN MALINGSIA


1. Merasa dirinya developed country, padahal GDP/capita hanya 5000 USD (angka ini pun sudah dimanipulasi oleh Kerajaan Malaysia), experts memperkirakan angka yg benar adalah sekitar 1500-2000 USD/ kapita/ tahun...

2. Punya program luar angkasa, tapi tak punya teknologi pembuatan rocket..

3. Bangga dengan kemampuan memperkerjakan tenaga kerja asing, sementara uang mereka diperas dikirim ke nagara asal pekerja2 tersebut dan banyak warga mereka yg menganggur karena kalah bersaing..

4. Merasa universitas mereka terhebat di Asia.. baru terbuka matanya setelah keluar ranking baru bahwa merekalah yg paling rendah...setara dengan Somalia dan Sudan, agak sedikit di atas University of East Timor saja..

5. Bangga dengan Menara Petronas yang dibangun oleh Korea Selatan..

6. Mengeluarkan banyak uang untuk tourism marketing tapi memukuli dan menyiksa turis yg masuk... mana ada lagi orang yg mau datang..

7. Bangga sebagai negara yg banyak kedatangan turis. Lupanya dia bahwa turis yg masuk ke negaranya sebagian besar adalah orang Singapore yg mengunjungi family dan orang Indonesia yg hendak cari kerja... jadi bukan turis yg sebenar2nya...

8. Tidak bisa memanfaatkan potensi besar bangsa China dan India sebesar2nya karena rasa iri hati sehingga menggunakan NEP dan lain2 policies untuk membatasi perkembangan kekuatan bangsa China dan India..

9. Tidak mampu menciptakan budaya sendiri sejak nenek moyangnya hingga sekarang. Orang Amerika saja mampu menciptakan budaya sendiri yg berbeda dari orang Eropa.

10. Tingkat buta huruf masih mencapai 17% dari total populasi.


Jadi, hebatkah Malaysia itu ???

HOME

When I think of home
I think of a place
where there's love overflowing
I wish I was home
I wish I was back there
with the things I've been knowing

Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning
Suddenly the raindrops that fall have a meaning
Sprinkling the scene
Makes it all clean

Maybe there's a chance for me to go back
Now that I have some direction
It sure would be nice to be back home
where there's love and affection

Then just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Givin' me enough time in my life to grow up
Time be my friend
Let me start again

Suddenly my world has gone and change it's face
But I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun around in space
Yet I've watched it glowing

If your listening God, please don't make it hard
To know if we should believe in the things that we see
Tell us should we try and stay or should we run away
Or would be better just to let things be..

Living here in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But you taught me to love
So it's real, real, real to me

And I've learned we must look
look inside our hearts to find
A world full of love
Like yours, like mine
Like Home
