The years were gone
In the village once flourished
Now it was laid in memories
Of those events happened decades ago
One incident rocked the village
A man of religious faith
The youngsters looked up to him
He was the guiding force for the young boys
He thought the young boys
The good part of hardworking
Pursuing dreams with tenacity
Never give up believing in your abilities
One day police officers came
He was caught handcuffed and put away
The story finally came out in the open
He was charged with rape
Not young girls or young women
It was a child his own daughter
What turned him into a beast
Nobody could explain
The shame in the village
The people who knew him got a shock
Many couldn't believe he did it
The young boys were sad
The story kept in the village
For years nobody wanted to discuss it
Some stories came fueling the imagination
Maybe it was the work of ghost apparitions
The young boys had grown
No contact with the elders then
Maybe by now many had passed away
The story could be buried....
Kampong Tengah the village near to town
It was on one of the main thorough fares
Now the land occupied by highrise office buildings
It was just memory living in the mind
