the indifferent attitude


6 hours rain
The people some parts of Ipoh
They didn't look out
It was the snoozing night

A woman said she heard
The cats whining to escape
She didn't come down to look
The rising water submerged the cats

The neighbouring houses too
When they found out about rising water
The losses haven't been assessed
When animals cry for help look out the window

The river overflowed
Many complaints had been sent
About the shallow river bed
The city council drags its feet

Now the residents suffered
The reactive measures put in place
It will be forgotten when event turns normal
Wait for another hiccup then starts again
