Jeg gemmer mig bag alt.
Her for tiden,
er det somom der intet forhæng er,
foran mig.
Jeg kan kun gemme mig
bag mennesker jeg elsker,
mange ting er ved at gå op for mig nu.
Tingene bliver seriøse.
Jeg bliver ældre,
uden min egen vilje.
Og så dog ja.
Jeg vil gerne blive ældre,
opleve verden,
møde nye artsfæller
og musik skal spille forbi mig i en ****.
Jeg vil være lært.
Bekræftet.
Elsket, ikke af alle, men af nogen.
Men lige nu
er jeg ikke den jeg vil være, endu.
Lige nu skal jeg gemmes væk
fra det skæmmende og tænke frem.
Ikke være i nuet som alle andre.
Ikke kigge tilbage på de gamle billeder.
Kun frem. Kune frem. Kun frem.
Jeg er der snart.
Jeg består ikke det der ******.
Men når lige at hoppe med
inden det kører fra mig,
mod det hvide, uklare lys.
Hent mig.
Fra dette skræmmende sted.
Læg dig ved siden af mig
og sig ingen lyd.
Kun dig og dit åndedræt,
har jeg brug for.
Kun dit nærvær.
Kun nærvær.
Nærvær.
Og gem mig væk.

Child actor in the movies
Something I never got to be
Number of   films 20
Happy that I could just see
Part of gang wars
Get beaten till the body hit the floor
Was too timid that I looked for the door
Learning Martial Arts to counter the attacker
Was not even an option for me to consider

Learnt  Foshan Wing Chun
I was keen on only having fun
With an aim to master
Something I never could gather
From IP Man the grandmaster
Didn't know of him till the 4 part movie released 4 decades later
Studied with integrity and hours didn't matter
Lacked the discipline life was in tatters

Enrolled to study philosophy
I lacked the basic curiosity
Started teaching his art
I didn't know anything to impart
Fell in love and married
I got married and divoced

Worked as a stuntman
Farthest from that I remained
Acting in television and doing karate exhibitions
Couple of things in life I never came in contact

Back to Hong Kong
To revive a film career gone wrong
I didn't know right from wrong
Was just floating along
Became a global icon
I'm still figuring out mobile phone icons

Born a seeker
Created his own method
Fighting and realising
Looking for a mentor
I was a day dreamer

Gods had these two
Combat made them One
Bruce won by Winning

Television actor with a mask
Graduated to lead Actor
In people's consciousness forever
Aided by the philosopher
Who made millions of seekers better

Remained in people's thoughts

In your presence
The art of being present without being present
If we're to nourn your loss
We wouldn't be disciples of Jeet Kune Do at all
A century later
You'll still be remembered
Sorry not remembered
Because you will never be forgotten in the first place
Happy birthday we wish ourselves
Cause we don't see you apart from yourself
You lived for the rest
But never seperated the self
The word I dors not exist
The Word Bruce does
Grateful to you
Till we join you
You left Game of Death half way
For you wanted us to  complete it
Each one imagining that they are you
Are filling in the void you left on purpose
When we reach the terrace of the Pakoda
You will be waiting to protect us all
In whatever the journey that awsits us
We will be concentrating on the finger
Just to get a tap on our heads
No bigger blessing one can get

Speed of lightning
Philosophical in thinking
Put it down in writing
Life saving for generations

Wanting a movie career

The life of Bruce Lee
That daily inspires me
Gives me a purpose
His philosophy Jeet Kune do
Teaches me to reach but
Does not preach

Serves as a Doctor
When I'm hurt and wounded
Deep in my Soul
Whatever the reason
Born a human
I don't need one

Coach and enabler
Let's me find my answer
Enabling my search
By adding wisdom
Which he imparts so well

Dons other roles
The tales he told
By his acting roles
Gives me pleasure
Watching him enact
Movement in stillness
Speed faster than
My eyelids closing
Making me wonder
Was he human

A friend he is
When he says
Its alright to loose
Offering the greatest gift
A friend can part with
The Will to face
Humanity's self created race
Where i too chase
Dreams that are dear
Far or near

Simple quotes for living
To keep the days going
Has said so many
Makes the living easy

His life was his message
Lived by  the words
Answers he got
In his search
Shares them with all
Everyone gets the feeling
He wrote it all
With me in his thoughts
He addressed me directly
Like he does millions independently

Life an inspiration
His fight to cross
Every block that was tossed
To put him at a loss
Walked the talk
Never doubted his skill
Used his own philosophy
When he went for the ****

Making the impossible
Into a reality
Workaholic in days
Replaced the hours
Days on end
On the film set
Till he fainted
Literally in his fight
To paint his life's canvas
Small budget films
Made in Cantonese
  Restricted in budgets
Second take a leisure
Never enjoyed the pleasure
Had to still deliver
With all its restrictions
The 5 movies he acted
As an adult
Did not just
Become box office hits
But part of cultural history
In everybody's conscious memory
Simple and direct
Easy to follow
Work ethic laid before
Sweat the secret
Of success galore

Greatest role for humanity
The god of anti bully
As a savagely bullied kid
Continuing till i was an adult
Stopped the second
I started studying him every second
Standing tall by my side
The bullies know what
They will get

No sacrifice big enough
Immortality bestowed upon
A  light shining
Twice as bright
Lives half the life

Thank you Bruce
Teacher Guide and friend
Advisor father and protector
Eternally popular figure
Died at 32
Lives amongst us in 2022
Only to guide you
By being with you

Those who don't know
That they are walking in the darkness
Will never seek the light
Said the immortal Bruce Lee
As a part of his Jeet Kune Do philosophy
Which he created as a hybrid from many
All knowledge leads to self knowledge
All the obstacles that confront us outside
Answers the real seeker seeks inside
Simplicity is the key to brilliance
The shortest distance between two points us a straight line
Freedom from conditioning
Brought about by flexibility
In order to face a hurricane
Be like the Bamboo that gives way
Only to come back to its position
Rather than an old tree that's rigid but gets uprooted
Be ready not tensed
Not thinking yet not dreaming yet
Ready for whatever might come
The middle path chosen
Be in harmony with the world
Nothing apart from us in our control
Use the path of least resistance
Give you a lot of confidence
Life is changing process
Following a fixed pattern when life is not the same
Will not help find answers to the game
Be yourself express yourself
Do not project an image of yourself
Honest expression is a path to self realisation

I reflect upon my infancy living a life of fear and boredom
Had a brother who was a decade senior
Who was nothing short of a mentor
Fear drove me to the movies searching and yearning for stars
Who I found in abundance and what was absent in my soul was present in their role
Testosterone filled powder keg scenes blitzkrieg in front of me.
Mere Images they weren't
As real as reality was
The line dissolved as I vicariously fought the villains of my life
My mind wars were in full throttle
Me emerging the victor Unaware that imagination was making me the victim
Decades it took to draw the line again
Reality was reborn
And rickety split was leading a life of fear and boredom
Boredom took me in search of humans
None had humanity exploited my inadequacy again I went as perceptible was never obvious to me
Leading me on a circle of Savagery unleashed by the bullies
Fear and boredom outside adopted a demon called esteem inside
As it touched it's nadir
Living was given another name called hell
But none of this could I tell
Bruised ego is the soldier who replaces Sensitivity
The spiral road down has no end but has many stops
Picking the wrong passengers along the way
The boundaries are  dissolved between humane and inhumane
Diatribe rhetoric and tirades encompassed the being
Even the partisan benefactors saw no point in my living
Speaking the untruth is the first step on the Pathway to Hell
Other ignoble attributes are endowed upon effortlessly
Traveling on the path with fear boredom lies rants and the whole shebang I realised that I had been dumped unceremoniously
It's the river of no return that  I was sailing my boat on
What was I on
Could I continue living on that mode accelerating the demon inside at the speed of the Apollo
Mind Body intellect and soul was at a new low
Guilt was built with the concrete of dishonour blasphemy impiety and irreverence
Schizophrenic nature of piety religion and philosophy did not help
Reality remained blurred again
Only the Constants changed
Jeet Kune do translates as The art of the intercepting fist Founded by Bruce Lee Martial Artist Actor Writer Director Choreographer Producer Dancer Teacher and Philosopher
Addiction was replaced by Connection
Thinking was replaced by Feeling
Ranting was replaced by
Acting
Outward was replaced by Inward
Whatever led me to his path
The cause and effect I don't know
For his path is no path
I now know what I know
Reality had emerged
Tentpoles have submerged
I have Bruce to thank
Who says don't thank for I haven't thought you anything
Because there are no others to teach
There's only self
Which also ceases on enquiry
There are no others there’s no I
What is left is Right
Nothing is what it seems
Nobody is who they really are
Grumble moan and whine
Still surprised at paucity of  humanity benign
Realize he should for that is the  habitude
Paradigm followed blindly with the prototypes walking before him
Rehearsed and Crafted
Complicated he becomes
Complication is easy
Simplicity is tough
Were he to know
And if this were to grow
Extinct becomes of sorrow
In the dark about the light
Unable to conceive that
Honest expression is the hardest trait
Simplicity Fluidity and directness
The only path to oneness
Painful that they never meet
Feel from your heart and be driven by emotional competence,comprehend
Thinking and Rational leads often to a dead end
This world is not for honest men
But it cannot prevent men from being honest
And the gratification they derive from their conscientious conduct
And deprive them the luxury
of a good night s sleep
Impeccable invoking inspired infallibility is immune in inception

An ardent follower
Of Bruce Lee the philosopher
Fan of his movies
Watched them repeatedly
Movies are not classics
But a Religon
His life a lesson
To be learnt in the present
Be Water he said famously
Follow the thought deeply
Jeet Kune do his philosophy
Use it to navigate life successfully
Multi talented Polymath
Try and emulate as much as you can
Martial Artist Philosopher Actor Writer Director Producer Poet Teacher
So many facets and more
God of Anti Bullying
A saviour of the bullied
Weaker in any form
He is the go to form
Internalise and implement
His teachings and his life
Yours you will not regret
An answer for every question he has
Eternally popular generations later
Kids by the time they reach
The age if 8
Have heard of his name
Came for a purpose
Lived by example
Taught by gaining wisdom from his own seeking
Left an everlasting impact
Will exist till the universe ceases
A realised soul
Anyone who knows all this
Is a BRUCELEEIST

Seeds sown
Class clown
Pleasing others
Self respect
Doesn't matter



Laughing stock
Everyone flocks
Buffoon of the class
All others laugh

Teacher leads
From the front
Joined by the priests
In making fun

Call the parent
Tell him his son
Is a juvenile delinquent
Threaten him detension

Father static
Son called lunatic
Muted reaction
Forced into submission

Like wild fire
Spread teachers ire
No more a secret
For life never forget

Sense of guilt
Deeply built
Awareness present
Reaction absent

Let down the father
By the behavior
Forced to be a loner
To self a stranger

Already a disaster
Life out of order
Spoilt by father
A new moniker

Unaware of the pressure
Doing it out of pleasure
Bullying akin to torture
Personality blown by behavior

Nowhere to turn
Soul deeply burn
No answer from father
Problem persisted longer

Spoilt by father
Erratic behavior
Another cross to carry
Add another worry

Told by many
Friends and family
A lesson to be taught
Many which father forgot

Untrue interpretation
Clueless of situation
Non stop perpetuation
Based on wrong conclusion

Up until today
Not been a day
When not reminded
That I was not reprimanded



Ignoring an option
Compared to reaction
Unable to continue
Time to implement
Jeet Kune Do
The philosophy founded
By Bruce Lee
Who was the epitome
Of Anti Bully

Meek and Weak
Fearful of everything
That I see
Afraid of People Events and even Ghosts
Never lived my life
Frightening self carried myself
Deep at the core
Stuck in a dead end
Nowhere to turn
Met my saviour in Jeet Kune do
The philosophy founded by Bruce Lee

The movies that he acted
Only more and more reenforced
That the God of Anti Bullying
Was standing on the silver screen
Right before my eyes
His Fighting Skills His Philosophies and his Quotes
Made living of increased quality
Quantum of fear doubled down i guess
Faced eye to eye
Ready to die

Down and out
Ready to play relay
With cowardice in my thought and heart
Come to terms with mediocrity
Pushed around daily

Drowning in this
Self pity the worst
Saved me Bruce Lee
His Teachings now lead
The way i see life
Upside down he did
Made my life a lot smoother

Life's blur was becoming clearer
Therapeutic and Zen like
Very few remanants   of my former self
All i surrender to the great Saviour Bruce Lee
