the old mining pond

The old mining pond near the market

It has become the dumping ground for many

It seems the drainage outlets flow into it

As the years gone into its place

Sometimes people come to fish

In the pond hoping to get some fishes

They stand for hours hoping for the bites

Maybe there are no fishes to share

Years ago it could be the dumping ground

The dead animals to say the last goodbye

There are iguanas swimming around the mining pond

Searching for food what else to move around

Now the contractors dump cement and concrete

Those houses under renovation works.........

The town council tractor pushing into the pond

The mining pond should be reclaimed quickly

In the night along the market area

Older people will ease themselves

Who will want to complain?

The old people sitting in the gazebo

The mining pond the tin had gone

Leaving the big crater now as a pond

Nothing has been done for decades

Now the collecting rubbish from the hawkers
