haze still mocking us


The haze just never want to go away
It came to our shore in 1997
I saw it in Langkawi thinking it was a one off event
But it has stayed on till today

The air quality index will be bad
No outdoor activities should be conducted
Older people and sick patients should stay indoors
The minute particles will cause them to suffer

Many meetings and consultations
Many teabreaks and promises
Yet the haze still comes every year
Even change of Indonesian presidents

What we hear are the excuses
Forest fires not human failures
Every year till today
No concrete policies to catch the culprits

In time to come
We will suffer with chronic illnesses
The present generations will get the brunt of it
If our government still take slow measures
