GE13PostMortem

So hard to comprehend,
This crazy crazy irony.
That through some crafty ways,
We are lord over by the minority.

He sent us some ang pow..
He even wore red on TV…
And then he blame the Cina,
For the GE Tsunami.

What is the truth?!
Where is the sincerity?!
After all the terrible lies,
They now talk about unity.

Words are so cheap.
Talks are so easy.
What the Rakyat want;
Are clean, and good, and just policies.

Where do we go now?
And put aside the enmity.
To move on with nation building,
We must have men with integrity.

Just accept and keep quiet???
Or should we flock to the rallies???
The journey ahead of us,
Will not be simple or easy.

Will everything be ok,
If we go for Reformasi?!
Or all our problems be solved,
If we continue with Transformasi?!

Give us wisdom O God!
To understand the complexity.
We must continue to watch and pray,
Even though this home on earth is temporary.

Selah! God is sovereign!
Despite politics so very filthy.
To remain as salt and light,
Is still our Christian duty!!!


IMPORTANT NOTES:

Jason Fong was out of the country on 5 May 2013.  He missed the GE13 because of pre-planned ministry work.  Yet, he is sure that he has returned to a NEW MALAYSIA even though the government is the same old one…  The recent GE13 has spurred a NEW SPIRIT in so many of us!

This poem is Jason’s heartcry, being fully aware that the post GE13 journey would be complex and could be turbulent.  Please note that the views and opinions expressed in this poem may not necessarily reflect those of the Christian organization Jason works in, nor the church or denomination he belongs to.
