Why should you care which god I supplicate
Are you hoping it is better
I put the wine, fruits and chicken
In front of your house than on the altar?
Why should I?
To tell the truth I don’t worship any
Though I respect many.
Are you jealous?
I have no guilty conscience
Nor have I anything to…

We've the timber all over our country
The foreign devils have
the best materials to make the best sails
on this planet.
Why don't we put aside our dear pride
and corporate with these devils
to make the biggest ship on this
lovely earth so that you and I
can sail round the world free of charge?
And pick up many passengers on the way
making plenty of the green bucks ?
After all, we call them…

The electorate will always base their choice on emotion. The race, religions and social standing carry more weight than anything else. I am talking about the average guy on the street, which is where the majority of them are found. As we can see, during the past 62 years, politicians from many parts of the world were able to win one election after another even though the governments they came out with were corrupt, evil and inefficient. It is an open secret that many of these politicians…

Buddhism is not antiquated
as claimed by some so-called scholars.
It talked about pension fund 2500 years ago
Only the terminology used was different
The Buddha used the phrase “rainy days”
He recommended 25% of a person’s earning
must be saved for rainy days.
Can you find another teacher
who proclaimed that his followers
would be equal to him
in status ?
Can you find…

She was the rose of the class
from secondary until university.
She had beauty, brain, determination and leadership.
With an Economics degree and a MBA
behind her
She was the leader of many a company
she picked and chose her employers just like
she did on her one-night stands.
She could swing left or right
because no man could ever claim
that she belong to him.
After swinging for many years
and could…

The seashore remains unchanged,
but the casuarinas,
which we tied the swing had fallen.
I walked alone along the serene shore
thinking of my love long gone.
The sea birds still circle in the sky
even though thirteen years had passed
Are they the same birds we used to watch?
It was great to lie…

Those who talk too much are blamed
Those who talk too little are blamed
Those who neither talk too much nor too little
are also blamed
No one is unblamed
Dear Appana, please go on talking
If your words can help to brighten up
the spirits of some poor souls
won’t your talking bring forward
great…

Look, Sheila
this is the key to my extra condo
and this is the key to my BMW
they are there waiting for you
at your pleasure.
This angmo here works under me
I'm his boss
How many people in this city
can have angmos as their subordinates?
Though I'm limping
I can give you the best in this…

Please show me a building on this planet
which is without cracks
I’ll then show you two countries
with two perfect governments
When a being reaches perfection
He doesn’t stay for more than
seven days on this earth unless he wants to
take up preaching
He dies within seven days
and his own fire from the body
is used to consume
the flesh and the bones
There’ll be nothing left
because the Arahant doesn’t…

Before they start off for the day
There’s the common song- and- dance
Which they value dearly
To them, life must move on very slowly
They always asked
Do the jobs for the day
involve life and death
Otherwise, they say
Sit down, have a cigarette and a cup of coffee
and talk on what you saw last night at the pub
Was there any new girl coming from Thailand
or Indonesia ?
Why must they spread noxious poison every…

The white men’s bootlickers
spied for them and brought China to its knees
Yet these bastards got
nothing more than chief clerks’ and
chief office boys’ positions
in the colonial offices
Their sisters and daughters
turned to prostitution
to satisfy the need of the white sailors
One school principal told me
he wanted to teach in Hong Kong
The school authority told him
he must be a believer
for they…

The Skilled Orangutans
They aped the Europeans by
taking sunbath from 1300 hr to 1500 hr.
At 0900 hr they took cups of coffee
without milk or sugar
and sat under the morning sun
sipping, and reading the Straits Times
not knowing that reading under the sun
without a pair of dark glasses will damage the retina.
It…

The Chinese used to say:
When you drink water,
please know the source
Today, this sort of gratitude is seldom seen
Instead we have a bunch of rude people
Who’re only good at complaining on others
not knowing that one cannot
see his own face without a mirror
There was once a very rich guy
He had a fast car and many girl friends
One night his car ran into a pool of water
about ten inches wide and a quarter inch…

The greedy employer had the pile of
application letters on his table.
There were more than one hundred of them.
He had a glance at each of them.
One after another the letters went into
the waste paper basket.
His comment was :
this one was greedy,
he did not mention how much he expected.
Can I pay him $100000.00 per month?
No way.
This one thought he was smart.
He worked in a refinery
and he wanted…

Some progress fast
Others progress slowly
Let the fast ones not look down
On those who walk slowly
Does it matter
If you take a trillion kalpas
To attain Nirvana?
If you’re sure of the journey
The time is not a problem
Did the Buddha ever say
You must arrive within a certain time?
Or the gate will be closed?
Ksitigarbha said he would wait
Until the hell is totally…

The bandits blew up the statues of liberty,
Cheng Ho and Raffles
One after another they crumbled
As if this earth must be totally flat.
Defending armies came and were always wiped off
The invincible warrior triumphed
He believed he was the chosen one
The whole world was crumbling
From day one to day…

In the industrial concern
where I’m working
it is most difficult to be an engineer.
You must be exceptionally good
in your field
or you’re an excellent bootlicker.
Don’t expect them to love you
because you’re smart.
Why should they?
When they can bring in employees
of their choice
and make thousands of dollars every month.
How does your presence benefit your boss?
My foreign subordinates…
