16 candles burning


16 candles burning
Lives got lost in a tragedy
The young lives before they could fly
They were snuffed out in landslides

Buried in mud of death
The day light turned into darkness
The air that we breathe for granted
They were slowly extinguished in their lives

16 candles burning
The lost souls buried in landslides
The sadness and tears never forgot
Of parents, relatives, friends and rescuers

Before the bodies are prayed
The authority said something else
The authority never wanted to take responsibility
Of lack of enforcement to ring in the culprits

16 candles burning
Too many incidents on landslides
Will the authority wake up?
Or it's just tomorrow they forget?

16 candles burning
Lives got lost in a tragedy
The sadness and tears never forgot
Tomorrow it is history
