the high chaparral in history


The High Chaparral
The final goodbye
Now lying barren
Waiting for new home to rise

The cows all gone now
The residents too with it
The silence rules once the greens
Now awaits its fate
Of the new highrise apartments

The protests and crying
Living in its memories
The people then will remember
The story will be told many times

Don't find faults
It is your own folly
Living in complacency
Forgetting about titles to the land

When it was hijacked by Bee Anne
Where the people voted for years
Now what you got to show in the end?
Only tears and memories

Kampung Buah Pala
The residents will remember
A bitter lesson to learn
In life nothing stays permanent!
