DISCORDANT TALKING OF THE EMOTIONAL MANIPULATOR

Mohd Nasir Mahmud 1963 (British Military Hospital)



a raised voice of arrogance
manipulating the verses of heresy

blunt ironic poems
flowering sugar-coated promises

throughout ages
slander mongering

in every burst of man’s sweat
no blood ever spurt off

Bonded by commitment as an academician professed in Mathematics and Education after graduated from The University of Malaya and IPTI respectively, and post-graduate specialization in Thermal Convection and Chaotic Behaviour Analysis in Fluid Dynamics at The National University of Malaysia with dozen of works published in international journal publications which can be accessed from SCOPUS/WOS index; had not refrained him from getting engrossed with literary writings in the genre of Malay poetry.
