People around you

People around you

Written by Peter Ooi

He is Kaske, the Nippon, the first friend I ever met here
He is Michal, the polish who almost got me into brawl
With a rickshaw driver, turn out to be one of my closest friend
His name is Thomas, one of many post Hitler germans,
Who looks like a Germany football hooligan, but a straight, funny guy
And then came along Bernard, often dubbed as Jack Nicholson
Always with his strange peculiarity, that everybody love to hate

His name is Jos, the Nickelback vocalist look-alike,
From the land where all illegalities are simply legal
From the same land are big momma, who seems to know everything
Her name is Hendreanekka
She is Stefani, a cool girl dancing every single moment,
From the land that call Austria, a country of “no kangaroo”
And let’s not forget, the love of life, Gokce the Turkish girl,
Where the boys had long anticipated her presense
But came uninvited, and left unexpectedly

In between such crazy moment
There is Gidena, a German girl who looks like Gytneth Patrow
Who seems like a lover to me
And the last ride in,Omar the fucking Rambo,
from the land where one of the seven wonders were build
The pyramid; also known as “A Fucking pyramid”

It’s amazing that this group of people
With total differences in color, thinking and attitudes
Who all their lives live in a different surrounding
With different upbringing
Brought together by one similar cause
All in the name of cultural understanding

And it’s amazing that…We can live together
Like friends and family
