suddenly, we're all alive

if anything, at least people are getting riled up – feelings pregnant, thoughts abundant, chatter aplenty

if anything, you learn more with each passing minute – a facet of Singapore, a facet of life, a facet of humankind

if anything, you are taught about will, drive, unfettered determination and steely intellect 

if anything, the living is alive, 

and the dead – more alive than ever.  

perhaps, this is reality. reality begins now.

you're celebrated, either way. 

thank you, Mister, you were a true gangster, a heart-stopper, a fighter, a mover, a shaker and a legend.
