I wrote this poem when I was doing my undergraduate studies. I can't recall the reason for touching on this issue, really. But I remember that this poem was sort of inspired by Dr. Jalal (though I can't recall the connection haha). Mind you, this is one of my 'darker' poems (though such category is subjective and open to discussion).

HAKCIPTA TERPELIHARA - NURUL ALIA ZULKIFLI 2011.
In the darkness of the night
She threaded her way there silently
Anger and hatred supressed
for there were mouths to feed
Around her
lustful animals waiting for a prey
though she sometimes wondered
a prey or better yet a bait;
forking out their fortunes on beds
At times she felt like running away
but the many wants, needs and dreams
relied on her fate
The sharks too could smell the blood
and would trace everyone in it
'tis a bloody relationship
Death is perhaps the mighty
answer
to such iffy mishap.
