the rubbish on the river





borrowed star online.com.my


Along the parallel road
The long stretch of the river flows
The motorists who drive by
Nobody pays much surveying

On normal days
The sunny weather the clear water
Flowing through on a clean passage
Hardly giving fear of overflowing

The people who stay around
The old Wah Loong residents
Some will throw rubbish in the river
Old habits die hard within the minds

Along the bank of the river
Near the housing estates blending old and new
The enterprising individuals planting agricultural produce
Using the river water as its source of water supply

Lately a few old trees were chopped off
The small contractor wants to park his lorries
The shady trees gave him shade he didn't realize
Nature's way he forgot about it

When heavy downpour
The orange muddy water rushing to the river
Most likely up from Joo Loong area
The top of the hill residents of good view

The river cries every time
Blinding its eyes of orange muddy water
Nature will hit back one day
When the residents forget that's it
