A CENTURY OLD SETTLEMENT IN SENTUL WILL BE ROBOHed

copy from zorro-unmasked

The Sentul Village
The century old dwelling will go
By 15/12/09 for new developments
Saying the old has no value

Tomorrow the bulldozers revving in
Sinking its jaws on the helpless homes
“People's first Performance now”
The trick majority seems to fall

It is money in the eyes
Pockets need to get full all the time
Any prime land within the city
“Goodbye folks it is mine!”

It reminds me of my village
Uprooted and made way
For concrete buildings and highways
Fully congested and smog get into your eyes

Footprints all gone
Nothing only in memories
Few days ago I was told
This highway I cut rubber trees
Passing through streams and small waterfalls
Drinking streamed water

and refreshing natural secondary forest

It is sad to see
The people needs always fall
Money seems to be the object of envy
The Sentul Village another one to go
