LAKE CINI 2


Lake Cini
Crying out in distress
Orange and dark color flow
She doesn’t shine any more

The inept supervision
Sitting in air-conditioned offices
Taking long tea breaks
Shopping in complexes
Saying it is working

Lake Cini cries
In the beginning the authorities ignore
Approving projects around her vicinity
Raping her until she loses consciousness
Yet the government says business as usual

Now the dying breath
Strumming her silent appeal
The authorities finally wake up
Clamoring for funds to rehabilitate
Lake Cini

The government doesn’t prosecute
The loggers and miners destroying Lake Cini
Why is that so when they rape her repeatedly?
Asking taxpayers’ money of $4 million
And let go the logging and mining companies

Laki Cini
Strumming her distress signals
In years she helps to popularize the state
Now she needs help
Hopefully it isn’t too late
