Good evening, London. 

Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of everyday routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquillity of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. 

There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? 

Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. 

Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. 

So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.





这是15 Malaysia 的短片,《One Future》。

两者说的都是同一件事情,如果你明白,你就会知道,生活美好不意味自由。自由的代价,是不安。

这里有一个问题,请问,《One Future》有在抄袭吗?还是模仿?对我来说,抄袭的定义必须从出发点出发,创作的过程和类型可以不一样,可是创作的雏形若源自同一个概念,算是抄袭吗?

Here In My Home

相信最近大家都可以从不同管道听见这首歌。我听了这首歌,觉得很感动,也很有感触。 是因为动荡的政治局势吗?还是因为心里一直觉得这一片我们都深爱的土地没有真正承认华人成为“马来西亚人”的感触?又或者是西马人的心态还在下意识地将东马排除在外(到现在还是有西马人这样对我说:我们马来西亚人很少到沙巴砂拉越去,所以不知道沙巴砂拉越和马来西亚有什么不一样)? 当我们唱着这首歌时,意味着我们没有肤色之分,没有信仰之别,也没有区域的不一样。 我们,同样是马来西亚人。同样的深爱着我们的国家。 如果大家喜欢,可以到 这里 下载。

对不起,我没那么高格调。

《唐朝》 李白酒罢笙歌谣 杜甫梦醒诗情操 感叹天地浩淼 盛世风骚 落幕萧萧 李世民鞍上夺标 武则天垂幕政朝 江山如此多娇 难得逍遥 还看今朝 礼义廉耻仁爱忠孝 品德的指标 唐朝 是中国人的骄傲 朝来夕往的浪潮 抹不去心的微笑 唐朝 是我们心的圈套 囚禁民族的天牢 海角天涯无法逃 用美酒和葡萄 默默哀悼 死去的诗歌和人道 想不到我即兴写的一首歌词,竟然引起了大家的不满,这首歌,虽然起名《唐朝》,说得却是中国人(华人)的思想和心态。本来是自娱的一首词,可能我用了一些奇怪的字眼,是人不是人,是鬼不是鬼(人海中的蚂蚁)引经据典,大肆批评我的无知,错用了唐朝的意义;manchys小姐也踏上一脚,先说已经过时,然后指责我胡乱塑造历史,还好大家还算客气,选用的句子都比较软性,让我有机会做出解释。 唐朝的历史,人海中的蚂蚁已经转载不少资料,这里不赘,而且也和我想表达的东西无关。小的不才,习过几年诗,依然写不出一首好诗,却拜过程所赐,阅过不下诗千首,其中的最爱,当然是韵律优美的唐诗。要真正理解唐诗,必须了解诗人们的背景,当时社会的制度,诗人的经历等等。有许多现在看来平平无奇的是好诗,倘若知悉诗人创作诗的原因以及它的背景意义,顿时变成富有深沉的艺术感染力,李白的《静夜思》乃其中一例。唐诗的浪漫色彩比较浓厚,但诗风因人而异,李白豪迈,杜甫悲情,白居易儒雅,李商隐缠绵,王维朴实,孟浩然坦荡,各具特色,百花齐放。我对唐朝的知识,是从读唐诗慢慢累积而成,所以写这首歌词时,没有翻阅书本,直接从脑海捕捉对唐朝的记忆,书写成章。之所以这么做,原因很简单,我不是在写唐朝的繁华陨落。那些,我没有资格写。 选用四位唐朝人物的名字,李白、杜甫、李世民和武则天,并没有特别意思,那是我仅有的知识中觉得有代表性的其中几位(不然就不切题了),李白杜甫代表民;李世民武则天代表官。我也从百度百科转载一些资料: 『 李白 李白 (701年~762年),汉族,字太白,号青莲居士,又号“谪仙”。有“诗仙”之称,与杜甫并称“李杜”。身长七尺有余(约1.83米)。生于安西都护府碎叶城,幼年迁居四川绵州昌隆县(今四川省江油市,这种说法以郭沫若为代表)一说生于四川江油青莲乡。唐代伟大的浪漫主义诗人。其诗风格豪放飘逸洒脱,想象丰富,语言流转自然,音律和谐多变。他善于从民歌、神话中汲取营养素材,构成其特有的瑰丽绚烂的色彩,是屈原以来积极...
