The Revolution!



From a land very far far away; 
I can see a glimpse of light. 
A new sun ascending its land,
Start of a new era that grips the fate of an infant.

The pyramid now stands with honor,
The sphinx of a ruler now rusts in the corner,
The Nile now flows with a tide;
Decades ago it had lost its pride.

But why my land still lives in a dark?
The people here! will they ever spark?
Ignorance before credence!
Death of a crowd in grievance!
Splashes of tears then curses the eye,
When one wishes to quickly die.


Generations hanging in the balance,
It's the time to swing the wheel of gallant.
Raise your head up my boy!
Passion is your feat and destiny is the sky!
Break the faces of those who seize your freedom,
Dump those monsters who dare to eat your edam.


Slumber is a curse ask a raider who lives inside,
Forfeit the fear of battle just go there and fight.
Please don't be ashamed of death!
Cos' martyrs never fall from the peak of zenith.
The statue of robin hood awaits to be consecrated;
The tales of bravery are yet to be scripted...!

A joke of Communist Times...!

Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev is welcomed by East German Leader Erich Honecker (R) with a fraternal kiss in East Berlin after the Gorbachev's arrive to celebrate the 40th anniversary of East Berlin.

Erich Honnecker (the president of East Germany) was invited to Moscow by Gorbachev for a visit. After weeks of preparation by Gorby, Honnecker arrives in Moscow. As part of the celebration activities, there is a big parade through the streets of Moscow. While the two are watching the parade, Gorbachev takes a small boy aside and asks him, "Who is your mother?" The child replies, "Mother Russia." "And who is your father?", asks Gorbachev. The boy answers, "Why, its you Uncle Gorbachev!". Finally Gorbachev asks the boy, "and what do you want to be when you grow up?". The boy proudly replies, "a good communist!". 

Erich Honnecker, meanwhile, has been watching this and is very impressed. So impressed, that he decides to invite Gorbachev to [East] Berlin for a visit. Again, after weeks of preparation, Gorbachev's plane lands in Berlin. And again, part of the celebration includes a parade. Remembering what Gorbachev did in Moscow, Honnecker repeats the scene: He asks a little boy in the crowd, "Who is your mother?" The child replies "the GDR [German Democratic Republic - East Germany]." "And who is your father?", asks Honnecker. "Why, its you Uncle Honnecker!", replies the child. "And what do you want to be when you grow up?" queries Honnecker. Without hesitation, the boy replies "an orphan."
