ALL MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE INVITED TO TAKE PART:)
PLEASE BRING YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS ALONG!

To share a piece related to the legislation called the Internal Security Act — much abused and hence cursed by most caring Malaysians — here’s reprising a poem that Desiderata composed — before they took our beloved “Pete” in a second round under the ISA.

I.S.A.

(or I Say Amen)

When you play Politics

You must master double speak

And watch out for the nemesis

Lest thou be trodden sick and weak

Linger a while

the opposition will attack you

Smile

It’s all part of the Game

Linger more than a w’ile

When comrades hug you, kiss you

They honey you

Set thee for The Sting

Then say your prayers

knightly, nightly, frighfully

That thy mother’s Angels watch o’er you

I do that too, yes, I do

“O’ Lord Almighty, protect me from all evil

The Opposition enemy I can handle

It’s the Devil from within I shudder!”

I:

S:ay

A:men

But the +AP is that Archangel in disguise

You saw Him attired in Dunhill shirt and tie

Then in the Steal of the night

They come for you

Chanting the internal Security Act

And a thousand “Amens”

Can’t secure you.

+ Agent Provocateur, often abusing status to cause mayhem
