Can all of you just-


I don’t think there’s any need for context in this one,
Everyone knows what happened,
Everyone has their own says,
I know disappointment, and I know despair,
But there are a few things that I would like to relay.
But please, if you’re easily offended, then you really should just ignore this piece,
You will not gain anything nor lost anything by reading,
So please do not response with hate on the words I used below.

Words on streets that in GE13 is a very dirty game,
All words seem to attack our ruling party, and still so, at least for the next 5 years.
All those so called evidence are all over in the social media, especially in Face book.
I don’t know if all of my friend knew about this or not,
But since a long time ago, I have been calling social media networks like these a “social morgue”.
Why?
Firstly,
People post pictures of the dead in Face book which completely disregard what little decency even the traditional media has,
And it shows great disrespect for the dead, even at their last moments, photos of their dead body are uploaded into the Internet.
If you know anything about Internet, you know that anything on the Intraweb does not go away, it stays there for eternity.
So you’re desecrating the dead body, for eternity, go you!
Now imagine that dead body is someone you know...

Secondly, social morgue is also the monument of the social decay.
Quite frankly, I don’t need to tell you how unhealthy it is,
People update each other on it, which is all fine and dandy,
Until you see people posting duck faces, pictures of their food (!?), their personal photo, their personal matters;
What’s wrong with that? See above.

Thirdly, and unfortunately not lastly, will be out topic of the day:
People are treating news feeds on them as the one and only truth.

One simple rule and it applies to anything in the Internet:
Don't trust every thing in the social morgue,
The blackout photos when they’re counting the votes?
They can be posting the old black out photos for all I care
There's nothing to prove that, isn't it?
I could be wrong, or I could be right,
Are there really any ways to tell?
You believe the words of your friends no doubt, but what are their sources?
Are they genuinely legit?
While I don't suggest they are all blatant lies
But we should be more rational about this, shouldn't we?
But I'm pretty sure, talks like what I did above will invite cyber vigilante, or I should say, blatant cyber bullying in the social morgue.

“We weren't there at the scene,
We can only hear from what was already heard by others before.
But then, is there really is no way to tell what all those recounting and the sudden table-turning by BN was about? “
Thanks to my friend which still calmly replied me this after our discussion.
If I are to speak honestly about his question though? I don’t know.
All I can say for the table turning wild boxes is this:
Take it with a pinch of salt
We have no way of knowing
Because our system is not that transparent
It's regrettable but it's the truth

And no matter how pissed we're on either party or their leaders,
We can't assume they're only cheating their way up
There must be some points that enable them to keep winning
So maybe instead of bombarding them for everything they did or said,
We should look at what we should do to mimic that success
And eventually took that success from them
That's the game of war,
Weeping and screaming unjust will not help us move on,
But learning from this backlash,
All of us, all parties involved, might actually learn something from it.
We might improve together, why should it be impossible?
We can all learn something from it.
