9 May 2018 - A New Dawn

Hello there, my name is Lee Lee and I am from Malaysia. I am an IT professional, aspiring to be a writer. Yeah, you read this right, IT professional going into writing. Not coding but pure writing. 😊
Recently, I have been introduced to this cool platform and I am really excited as there are so many talented writers here and I hope to be able to contribute to this community with my posts.
I am going to start with my first post on the recent hot topic that would be close to the hearts of most Malaysians. The recent GE14.

Hope you will enjoy my short poem. Happy reading!

9 May 2018 - A New Dawn

I open my eyes, I say,
Today is the day,
A day of reckoning, a day that brings hope,
Change is a constant that we must all cope,
For our generations to come for a better tomorrow,
Be rid of all sorrow.

I can make a difference, and so can all of us,
At the ballot box, our future lies,
Democracy is alive as everyone plays a role,
From day to dusk, people come, people go,
Our responsibility is done,
And yet the battle has just begun.

As we all waited with bated breath,
For a new legacy to bequeath,
We finally felt the winds of change,
Oh! How strange!
Never before have we waited this long,
This is our beloved country where we belong.

Triumph persists, the rakyat has spoken,
Mandate has been given,
Truth be told, we all rejoice,
Embrace the new leadership of our choice,
Finally, we have our say,
A new dawn has arrived, a brighter future we all pray!
