the history of long ago

Cannon of Kuala Selangor by Cyber Integra from flickr

The history of long ago
When the colonial master came
Superior weaponry won the war
The local warlords disappeared

Now the cannon grounded
On the hill seeking solace
Beaming with past glory
Participating in history

The ground of the deaths
Centuries past history sings
Yet the current leaders forget
History is a lesson worth visiting

When internal conflicts go
No space to strike a compromise
Inflicting pains to the people
Like the cannon balls
The fire will be raging

Laws must be fair
It must be seemed to equal its tasks
Benefits must be shared equally
No one race should be given extra

The heat on the ground
The burning signals imagining in the minds
The history of long ago
It may turn out true
The local warlords disappeared
