who is to blame?

The rain keep falling

The eyes of sorrow and fear

The water rising as blockage occurs

Causing damages to properties

Taking lives for the unlucky ones

The floods are coloured blind

It affects everyone staying on its path

The headaches it causes in our lives

The water pathways are gone

Buried forever under buildings and homes

The waterway routes of the past

It isn't there to feed the rising tides

Blame it on developments

Blame is on past administration

The water will not listen

The floods will cause our losses

The evacuation will be carried out

Ferrying the affected residents to higher ground

Waiting it out in community halls or tents

Watching the rain praying hard to stay away

But floods will rise as the ancient routes are lost

Nature has told us many decades ago

Stay within the boundary don't get overboard

The developers and government don't listen

To destroy Nature gifts to balance the ecology

So we will suffer for causing the imbalance

Who is to blame now?
