the old houses at kampar old town 4


kampar old town neglected homes by e.ttan


The old houses at Kampar old town
Rows and rows of the wooden planks homes
Finally it was taken down planks and wooden pillars
Leaving the vacuum of once of its heyday of tin mining

For nearly hundred years it stood
The generations passed and moved away
Now the footprints all gone with the disappearing old homes
It stays only in those memories and in movie

The old houses at Kampar old town
The contractor and his workers came to pull down
Now it is covered up with zinc sheets
The day of new development will come

The old must always give up for the young
The cycle of life and nature and things
Likewise we have seen the fabric of life
There is nothing to feel sad or sorry

The footprints will sing in echo
For those people who once lived there
The wings of their memories will live
The old houses at Kampar old town
