The Best Poem Of Zabidi Hussin

Stop Spinning

Hey planet Earth!
Why don’t you stop spinning?
Even just for a short burst..

Its your earnest spinning
That makes us rush
No time for a solemn hush

Its your spinning
That causes day and night
Making us chase to get things right
Before tomorrow strikes..

Its your spinning
That causes the clock to overdrive
With all three arms rushing
Turning and pulling
As long as they have loaded springs
Or with batteries full of power within..

Its your spinning
That makes us quarrel
Rat racing to reach the top
Faster than the average squirrel
Rushing, back biting, thumping, racing
Reach the heights, in time severely shortened
Standing proud
But on the ashes of our interns! ..

Its your spinning
That has caused so many ruins
To us, families, friends and anyone else in between..

How I wish you have a handle
I can then chase and catch you without trouble
Earnestly stop you spinning without hurdle

We can then rest and breathe
Kiss our kids on their cheeks
Our spouses will sparkle with these deeds..

So planet Earth
Kindly consider our humble request
That you stop spinning
Even just enough time
For a short romantic tweet

Please…
