Beneath ‘Jalung Gemilang, ' Monday mornings <br /> School assembly, at attention, in rows standing <br />In green neckties, uniformed snow-white <br />In the fallen silence, motionless throng: a sight <br />Singing chorally, ‘Negara Ku, ' national anthem <br />Hoisting beloved ‘Jalung Gemilang' in tandem <br /> <br />The pride of the nation, was raised from my shoulder <br />Teary-eyed, goose-pimpled, scout-saluted our colours <br />Gush of wind waved the flag, thousand eyes, held pride <br />Diverse people under Yellow, Blue, Red and White: unite <br /> <br />Our fathers strived, for independence to be born <br />A place under the sun, a country, we can belong <br />A wealth of people, hoisting a nation <br />Diverse, yet one people with one vision <br /> <br />Our children rallying behind the clarion call <br />Marching together towards the nation's call <br />A wealth of people, hoisting a nation <br />Struggle to achieve One-Malaysia Vision.<br /><br />Paul Sebastian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/national-pride/
