She calls out to the man on the street
'Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?'
He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there
Oh think twice, it's another day for you and me in paradise
Oh think twice, 'cause it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise, think about it
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's trying
Oh think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise, think about it
Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh Lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
Cause she didn't fit in there
Oh think twice, 'cause another day for you and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise, just think about it, think about it
It's just another day for you and me in paradise
Notes : Most Malaysians who lives in KL/Lembah Klang know this feeling. Most of them are renting as many couldn’t really afford a house.
The bloody reason why the Muslim countries fought in endless
wars, is actually not really so much about Israel, religion, sectarian
issuesm racism. Not really.
What happens is actually US & Russia profits from selling military arms to Muslim countries.
The profiteering of military trades.
Tell me what’s the best well known export of Russia?
You cannot name me
name of cars or economic materials, but you can name AK-47 gun, SCUD
missile, the Migs and Sukhois.
All you need to do is to sell fear. Let them be afraid of each other.
Let them be insecure with Israel. Bomb small childrens in the name of collateral damage.
And fuel the rhetorics, the labelling in religion. Give funds to people who thinks killing innocent people is jihad.
Fuel the rhetorics, fuel the fire, and keep the military trade running and greased for profiteering.
If you’re Malaysian, you’ll understand why I’m so sick about the recent General Assembly of UMNO widely televised.
It’s because it’s all rhetorics. And what rhetoric usually does, is nothing but fear.
And Fear keep the economy growing. Keep you consuming more.
Usually, the easiest way to provoke fear is by using God’s name. If you’re not afraid of that, a bullet will.
Profiteering in the name of God.
Notes :
If you understand this, then know that if any one or any
party threatens you, actually they are trying to sell you fear. For
profits.
That’s why you see in most countries, the dominant political party
will televised their General Assembly. Whether North Korea or Malaysia.
The conflict has been compared to World War I in terms of the tactics used........and extensive use of chemical weapons such as mustard gas by the Iraqi government against Iranian troops, civilians, and Iraqi Kurds.
At the time of the conflict, the U.N. Security Council issued
statements that "chemical weapons had been used in the war." U.N.
statements never clarified that only Iraq was using chemical weapons,
and according to retrospective authors "the international community
remained silent as Iraq used weapons of mass destruction against
Iranian[s] as well as Iraqi Kurds.

This is a special post which I felt personally with regards to recent events in my life.
One of it involves a certain someone whom I met online, who likes to criticise the current events in Malaysia on Facebook. Religion, extremism, feminism, you name it.
At first it was about sharing of opinions, mostly of hers, then she started to talk about religion, which opinion I disagreed. When I shared mine, this fella ain't listening and thought it's annoyance, and she just cuts me off, disconnected.
Then I realised. Whatever I said, whatever voice spoken or words left behind, it'll be the same whether I'm dead or alive. Just whispers of the dead.
Recent events in my career also points to this. I realised I have to step up and stick to my limits and principles. Only to find out in the end, the fruits of labor tasted bitter.
I realised then what my friend once told me in Malay.
"Buat Baik Berpada pada, Buat Jahat jangan sekali" which translates to "do good with limitations, do not do evil".
With limitations.
The problem with doing kindness, is that, once, it felt bliss. twice, you felt responsible of it, more than that, it'll felt as an un-necessary obligation.
That's why I guess, in religion, it'll always teach, do good because of God alone. Other than this will result in frustration.
The Disasters of War (Spanish: Los Desastres de la Guerra) are a series of 82[a 1] prints created between 1810 and 1820 by the Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco Goya (1746–1828).
Although Goya did not make known his intention when creating the plates, art historians view them as a visual protest against the violence of the 1808 Dos de Mayo Uprising, the subsequent Peninsular War of 1808–14 and the setbacks to the liberal cause following the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in 1814.
During the conflicts between Napoleon's French Empire and Spain, Goya retained his position as first court painter to the Spanish crown and continued to produce portraits of the Spanish and French rulers.[2] Although deeply affected by the war, he kept private his thoughts on the art he produced in response to the conflict and its aftermath.[3]
He was in poor health and almost deaf when, at 62, he began work on the prints.
They were not published until 1863, 35 years after his death.
