spices of life 127

Kampar












Kampar back lanes

The doors stay close all day

The quiet lanes occasionally some roars

Of motorcycles and cars passsing through


The rustic atmosphere as if time stands alone

Leaving out the glory of the past of the town

The backlanes fallen dried leaves and twigs

The forgotten lanes even the walls neglected


At night it is all deserted at the back lanes

People hardly use it when night falls for it

It will be quiet only the soft breezes weep

Of the glory once when the town was rich


The tin mining heydays gone now

The back lanes have seen shares of it

Now neglected with unwanted debris

At night maybe dogs and cats scavaging
