the smoking cloud

The haze the smoking cloud

In the morning going to the night

Occasionally there is the sun

It tries hard to get its rays down to us

I remembered in Langkawi

The first time I heard of haze

That year was 1997

The haze came white smoking screen

So it was

Every year the haze blanket the sky

The people seem getting used to it

The newspapers dare not write as much anymore

Yen Yen doesn't want to score low KPI

She wants the country to feel the tourist dollar

Streaming down to the tourist spots

No bad publicity woe to her budget

During the time of the sleeping beauty

It was found the plantations owned by Malaysian companies

No action was taken at our soil

It just hung up in the ceiling as a decoration

Now government officers talk

Meeting in Thailand quietly on a low key

What to discuss it has become a yearly affair

Wooing each other without a permanent solution

The haze in our sky

It blinds the government eyes

Now the illegals got citizenship

For the power cooking up the wealth
