To Tell A Tale of Tales to Tell
By Putera Muhamad Ashraf

 A wise man told us a tale,
And we spread it across the sea,
Reaching out to lunatics filled with rage,
Who turned the wisdom into a flake,
And caused beadsmen to fiddle with scales,
While bricks slowly turned into clay,
As the layman lost themselves to the change;
But not to the maker, no,
He continues to bask,
To fill the world with diamonds and pearl,
Without a care of wisdom and tale;
A feeling well-versed with the sage,
Who understands that wisdom is but a whisper,
Like a song that enhances emotions,
Like the beast only a nightingale can tame,
Like a love only a lover can claim;
Thus the tale comes to no avail,
For we are swamped by an ocean of words,
And the tale is but a petty wave.

See you at the hut on the top of the hill, Where the ground actually meet the clouds, The closest we can be to the castles in the sky, Engineered by the dreams of the children of tomorrow, Before it starts to shatter by the de...

The Reality of Freelancing

A freedom everyone longs for yet clueless about People think freelancers have it all: the abundance of free time, an active social life and a steady income to go with it. What a cool lifestyle to live by… almost like the perceptions placed on rock stars in the music industry – carefree, liberating and elusive. Sadly, just like the shaky, unpredictable and tempestuous life of a rock star, that is merely the surface of a freelancer’s reality. Simply put, a misconception of a perception in itself.
