A Sonnet For Anwar, My PM in Whom I Once Place So Much Hope....

by Yusuf Hashim Oh Anwar, if you are between the devil, and the deep blue sea, Between Principles and Malevolence, on which side will you be?

In this world of choices, where good, and evil shadows intertwine, When morals clash with ambitions, on which side will your heart align?

Will you stand firm with virtue, like a beacon in the night, Or will you drift towards darkness, from where deceit and conceit take flight?

In the swirling tempest of choices, when currents pull and sway, Will you sail with noble purpose, or let hypocrisy lead the way?

Oh Anwar, Principles, the compass of righteous souls, Should always be your guide, to reach the right goals.

Malfeasance, the siren's call, a treacherous deceit, Lure us with promises, making falsehoods seem so sweet.

In the corridors of power, where morality is frequently tested, Beware the waters of statesmanship, that most times are devil infested,

Choose the path of honor, and let conscience be your guide, For in the end, it's the choices we make, that define our stride.

Oh Anwar, the deep blue sea may churn, the devil may whisper near, But principles will anchor you, dispelling doubt and fear.

So when you find yourself between, with choices to decree, Stand strong for what is right, and let your heart run free.

For in the balance of your soul, let virtue always win, Between Principles, and Malfeasance, choose to rise above the sin.

Oh Anwar, the devil promises power, riches, and acclaim, But the deep blue sea, holds wisdom, where honour is the flame.

Principles, like the North Star, guides with a steady hand, While Malevolence tempts, with treacherous shifting sands.

Choose wisely, Oh Anwar, while adrift in this moral sea, For your decisions shape the course of this sad country, and our destiny.

Will you stand for truth, and justice, or let Narcissism take its toll? In the battle of right and wrong, where will you find your soul?

For in the end, it's not the devil, nor the sea, that decide, But the choices that you make, and the values you abide.

Between Principles and Malevolence, let your heart decree, On the side of righteousness, where your spirit shall always be free. . By Yusuf Hashim, a mournful plea, A sad Malaysian, pained by the chicanery I see,
