First Encounter - Salleh Ben Joned Poem by john tiong chunghoo

First Encounter - Salleh Ben Joned



indeed we are shaped
by the world
good or bad

letting the malayness
in him rise
in every occasion
all naturally
that psyche shaped
over thousands of years

refusing to let others
tell him what
a malay should be

a ship steering his way
in the worst of storm
