HILLSIDE NIGHTMARE

chee seng garden, tanjung bunga/batu ferrighi, penang


The hillside tragedies
The rolling stones and mud slides
Tumbling trees and bushes
Pulling houses, barricades and souls

When nature hit the road
Human greed takes the fall
There is no second chance to retrieve
Only memories hanging on the wall

The running furiously
The yelling of lost souls
Amongst the debris of mud and water
Stones and rubbles tag along

The darkness of the hour
The escapees stand and ponder
It is worth the money for hillside properties?
When you don’t know what will fall

The hillside tragedies
The government red tape
Report can’t be seen
Why the hiding minister?

Afraid to get the blame
Afraid to answer to the families
Afraid to answer to the owners
Afraid of the unknown

The hillside tragedies
It isn’t over in the country
It is waiting to happen again
People who stay up there
You have been warned
So take your life seriously
