The silent mirage
I am alone
In a lonely, uncivilised desert
Without my loved ones and friends
Tormented by hunger and thirst
Battling against life and death
Beyond the horizon
Image of a sparkling blue lake
With my remaining strength
I walk slowly.. very slowly indeed
Each step brings hope and faith
To choose my own fate
To decide my own death
As I move closer
The image begins to fade
And I realise..
I'm beginning to lose
Lost in the world full of hatred and sins
Where human beings become slave
To power, fortune and glory
Is life a mirage?
Or it is not..

I remember composing this poem for fun during my Form 4 holiday break and got it posted in the Malaysian Post and school mag. There's completely nothing to brag about this freaky piece but some dude plagiarised it in the same school mag years later.Ooii Suni!! Mau ciplak.. pandai-pandai lah.
