george town the heritage

Armenian Street - Penang by ~fly~ 飞

The old buildings sit quietly
On both sides of the street
Life of yesterday glory gone
Today living out with dignity

On the street of old
Armenian Street Penang
Day sound of activities
Night the shadows walk

Many streets I had driven through
On my time staying there for years
Two way streets become one way
Penang I knew has changed in years

Armenian Street got remembered
The Hollywood movie Anna and The King
Though it didn’t hit the box office
Penang got some credits in show business
Around the world

The old buildings sit quietly
Knowing the time will come
When developments come a calling
Heritage or not it will crumble

The inner glow will be gone
Only the façade telling stories
At night the shadows walk
Reminiscing of the good old days
