Childhood Poems Things glorious
Of Christ's magnanimity in uttering
Father, please forgive them
While nails tore through his hands and feet
Of Shiharta Gaotama renouncing his
Luxurious life as a prince to suffer in the wild
An ascetic seeking for the truth
Of Moses who gave up all comforts in
Pharoah's care to wander for forty years
In the harsh desert leading a querulous
People to the Promised Land
Of Prophet Mohammad's decision to give up
His unharrassed life to fight for his
Belief despite an illiterate background
Of venerated Mandarin governor Confucius
Turnning back on a a corrupt court
To bring his ideas of right governance
To the people on his own
Of the people who use the teachings of
These men to benefit the world
Tiong Chung Hoo
Illusive time
The beauty of sounds men have mastered
Manoevring, perfecting them to soothe our hearts
The speed of sounds, men have sent reeling
A feat smartly triumphed
Affording us to scuttle through space
With the defeated sound trailing behind while we speed on
To conquer the next mind-boggling dimension - time
A million surprises will spring forth
The day we obtain the magic to subdue
Einstein's dreamed wonder
Turning this dimension back and forth
Like how we could play with songs on our CDs
So that the mental space spent to bring it
Under our control equals naught
Time, a dimension where all dimensions spring from
In infinity we will be once we become its master
