Fragmen Sempit

Di lorong sempit kelam,

Duduk si pengemis tua mengenang,

Hari-hari semalam,

Hari-hari mendatang,

Kusut rambut bak kelat hidupnya,

Carik baju bak pahit jiwanya,

Terkadang dia senyum kepuasan,

Terkadang dia termenung kesepian,

Pagi esok tak tentu lagi halanya,

Ke hadapan kedai,

Ke atas jambatan,

Ke Chowkitroad atau Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman,

Dia tak dapat pastikan,

Pemimpin hebat berlalu pergi,

Sekupang dua tak pernah diberi,

Berlari mengejar masa,

Demi kelazatan kemewahan,

Demi kebahagiaan keduniaan,

Dia tak pernah mengharap,

Cuma meminta perut untuk disuap,

Untuk meneruskan sisa senja,

Untuk hadapi malam bakal tiba,

Urat-urat tangan kian kelihatan,

Rambut putih tak dapat disembunyikan,

Hayatnya mungkin tak lama pergi,

Hati sudah puas menangis,

Keringat sudah puas menitis,

Tulang sudah puas merintih,

Kaki mula merajuk,

Tangan mula menjerit,

Seiring nyawa melangkah hujung,

Senafas nyawa menghanyut usia…

Personally i think this one sounds a bit weird here n there.. i dont know.. may be because of the word choice is not that good.. but its ok.. at least i know that i try.. what say u?

Till we meet again!

Happy reading and Assalamualaikum!! :)
