In Search of Words

"IN SEARCH OF WORDS"

The poems in here are fresh attempts
to capture our times and various realms.
But they do bring out the art of poetry
a vibrant modern spirit of discovery.

Their concern is but for common humanity
without the disorder of any human ideology.
There is now no time to brand all of them
and move aside if you do not walk with them.

Hands held high with a poetic pen
they are marching to form a poetic clan
Creating to fill the dearth of our poetry
by using the ink of our mega-prosperity.

Educated youths entranced by pulsating words
are searching words for their modern verse.
They are filling the chasm of yesterday and today
for you to re-live your memories by reading everyday.

Enlarging the circumference of our mind
by wording the intensity of life.
Only poetry can release the essence
of our sad mundane Singaporean lives.
