Poem: Serpent in Disgust

the smell of
freshly steamed buns
was too alluring
a bite into it
my stomach turned
my taste buds protest
in an uproar
what lousy
meat bun is this
tasting like cardboard?

i must rinse my mouth
to rid of its foulness
the smell of fresh mint
fills my toothbrush
and mouth
the television in the room
is broadcasting
about a certain toothpaste
i stared at the tube
and vomited

flopped onto the bed
stared at the ceiling
a few fine cracks
stared back at me
then a few dust of cement fell
onto my started face
as the cracks enlarged
and started to crumble
i ran out of the room
and the hotel

the awakening dragon
turns out to be
a serpent
in disgust.

Poem: Subtle Oppression

the media is talking
about a certain man
ending his life by
jumping onto
the rail

disruption
to the masses
curses arise
his story surfaces
about how he suffers

from a debt he can't afford
his household in peril
electricity and water
cut off
children quitting school

is there no other way,
is there no help?
who could he turn to
the loan sharks or
the government?

he is not alone
i suppose

with a barely surviving pay
no house to call a home
no husband to share the burdens
no significant amount in cpf
and many bills to pay

i don't qualify to rent
even a tiny flat from hdb
i earn 'too much' they stated
banks won't give me a loan
i earn 'too little' they claimed

stuck in a progressive society
that only help those
who help themselves
but would i still need help
if i could on my own?

i am not alone
i suppose

suddenly it seems
jumping off the platform
may well be
an option

BANG BANG BANG

nope, not someone shooting a gun, tho i wish i can do tat to some idiot... it was someone banging stuffs and screaming... end up, it's the idiot bastard frm below my unit banging and screaming at my door!

i called the police and refused to ans his screams... peeped thru the door and heard him making phone call asking for some police post no. he wasn't ard when the inspector came... but while talking to him, tat idiot heard and came up yelling...

turned out that he and his wife and their precious baby got woke up by my dog bouncing his ball!! wtf??!!! the other inspector even told him to stop yelling. which he of cos denied and claimed tat's the normal tone he talked... his wife came up and reasoned with me... claim tat they have been toleranting me for the past 2 yrs... harlo?! i wasn't even staying here for the past 2 yrs! saying if i can't control my dog then i'll have to send him away... i rebuked her, when her baby cry in the middle of the nite did i expect her to give her baby away?! she said her baby is a sg citizen, does my dog has a license?! wtf!!!

i told the inspector to settle her and let me noe when he's done... and i closed the door...

later i talked to the inspector again... i told him, look my dog doesn't even bark... and there were more than 1 dog barking at tat moment... i asked him to listen himself.... other dogs are barking, does tat guy wanna check all the dogs license?! my dog not even making noise... i also told him i'm moving out tis sun... he said he'll tell them cos anything short of tat would not pacify the couple [and i can still hear the guy talking in his normal tone with the other inspector]... the inspector commented they prob have their own issue and too overbearing... yah, tell THEM abt it!!!
