the lessons learned



Telok Pulai Road
The cycling back home
Along the way to the port
The row of houses
And the empty field

In the morning to school
The row of shop houses seen
The back lanes the people washed
Who wanted to watch?

Life then was free and easy
Who talked about robberies?
The back lanes the morning rose

Pedaling to the bridge
The clear unpolluted water
Fishes could be seen
Sometimes crocodiles emerged

The weather was cool
The traffic was easy flowing
Life wasn't so complicated
In school the division of groups

There the lesson learned
The rich kids and the poor
The thumb noses and arrogance
Along the way same feather flocked together

Life in the teenaged years
It was about dreams to reach the height
Education was just a part to be practical
The dreams were to get there

So there it was
Hanging around watching the time slipped by
The no worries about tomorrow
Today was the time to play
