MIDST OF OLYMPIAN CRAZE II

I believe anyone who just indulged in a rollercoaster of free delicacies from cultured milk of vitagen to walls strawberry 'bin chi-ling' after being totally immersed in an exhilarating and downright refreshing run of the lifetime- will have a sudden spark of inspiration between two diversely extreme conditions. Hiperbole you say? Embarking on a journey back home- where sitting in a silent bus while the drizzling rain outside complements the serenity- Eureka!!!- it just inspired a poem- so here is how it goes:

I'M OLYMPIC

McD at a mall
I pick a mag and see a form
The form call me to run
And my heart starts to take form
And says come lets run!

So i train for days
But not in time
My mind says let it be
For it commands lets just run!

So i run miles and miles
Only to see many smiles
Because when men run not to overtake
But to overcome
All men smiles and more is to come

This is not just another run
For fake medals and white papers
But this is a run
To test one's heart
The wise phrase 'Know Thyself'

Miles has passed but miles not yet
Hearts has sunk but not the will
As men ceases to whine and revile
The spirit ascends and a man begins

A glance at the world is a gaze at the lake
All you see is only you
Wise or fool is only you
What you claim unknown is always known
Isnt that the kid you were
Running free and dreaming big
Isnt that the boy you are
Confused and shaken up
Isnt that the man you become
Beaten down and never rise
After all that's your hidden dreams and frequent thoughts

I thanked the boy
Who argued 'i'm not small'
I thanked the girl
Who indulges in Ipod on the run
I thanked the teen
Now a friend who shows colour is no bind
I thanked the man
Who took photos and send to me (thank you, mr. donald goh)
I thanked the woman
Who says 'I'm not inferior- see, i work daily yet i play
I thanked the gal
Who defines beauty comes with having brain to keep going on
I thanked my pal
Who demonstrate doctors do run and walk the talk
And i thanked the elder
Who shouts 'you are oldman but not me'

'i' went for a cert
But received a medal
With a phrase carved deep
And a message crystal clear
If life is a run
Then let this be a marathon of joy
For all get one
Only if you want=)
'I'm Olympic!


When McDonald's gets philosophical; and when Coke actually replaced 100 Plus as official drink: we certainly get the message- nothing could be possibly wrong except our personal attitude- it's only what i eat and what i do. Feel the Breath of Brilliance, Welcome the Light of Illumination. It has been a Good Day. All is Well. Terima Kasih=)
