Malaysiana - David Or Goliath - The New Voice Poem by john tiong chunghoo

dont bribe me with
special privileges
give that to the
weaklings, those who
dont quite believe
in themselves

for me
make me that
special person
i deserve to be
someone who can
walk through fire and
storms

someone to
take on the world
anyone, anyone
from anywhere
like a tough eagle

those big or strong
do not really always
have to win big -
remember the david
and goliath story?

and i want to be able
to take on anybody
anytime, anywhere?
like an overpowering ealge
steel claws, mighty wings,
razor sharp beak
that can shred a buffalo
and eyes that can
see a hundred miles

dont bribe me with
special privileges
just make me that
special person
i deserve to be

strong, confident
and 'balled' enough
to take on the world
anytime, anywhere
