Added Claptrap To Democracy



Added Claptrap To Democracy
Written by Putera Muhamad Ashraf
I’m a rebellious scum, condemning status quos;
But I submit myself to trends and vogues.
I’m an individual soul, worth my weight in gold;
But I depend on others to be my core.

Added claptrap to democracy;
Justice cries, lost in time.
Added claptrap to democracy;
The guitar, it weeps, to what it sees.

I’m a feminist in fight for women’s rights;
I enlighten the world with the faults of men.
I believe in equality, rights for all;
I poison the speakers with doublespeak.

Added claptrap to democracy;
Empathy is drained by wires and drives.
Added claptrap to democracy;
Freedom of cruelty rises above the speech.

I’m an activist child, protesting rights;
By following the herd who shouts the most.
I’m an anarchist at heart, want to change the world;
By causing riots and hurling bombs.

Added claptrap to democracy;
Definitions lost among the seams.
Added claptrap to democracy;
The tyrant’s voice reigns supreme.

See you at the bottom of the bottle, When you lose yourself to emptiness and neglect, Go ahead and cry your heart out, puke out your guts, Do what you need to deal with the pain of loneliness, Sanity demands that you keep your dreams alive. 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.
