LF Ng presents a case against the death penalty in MalaysiaKini. The following poem about Sinagpore struck a chord with me:
In a perfect country
a perfect country
of immense wealth;
wants for nothing,
save compassion
a perfect country
spick and span;
no dirt! not even
messy feelings
a perfect country
financial centre,
shipping Mecca,
Darfur of mercy
a perfect country
of resolute leaders;
articulate and brainy,
but missing a heart
a perfect country
of rules and laws;
Ok to do this that,
but mustn't hug
a perfect country
of rugged people;
fit, strong, healthy,
but without a soul
