flood in cameron highlands

Cameron Highlands


borrowed kualalumpurpost.net



The hilly resort
The farm land and tourist spot
The cool air the holiday retreats

The black spots of its history
The landslides and greedy people
Nature they forget to learn
Carving out land profits driven

The tragedy of the past
The hilly people never learned
They forget and lives moved on
Until the next tragedy and the next

Yesterday the dam overflowed
The releasing of water flooding its surrounding area
The siren came the hilly people ignored
Thinking it was the same old story

The midnight shadow came
The roaring water paid its visit
The mud flow damaging houses and cars
3 lives were lost one couldn't be found

The rainy season on the highland
The shadows of rain ghosts wait
Will the people learn now?
The tragedy of history on Cameron

In the middle of the night nothing was a joke
The siren whistled yet the people ignored
Sleeping through the mud flow
The roaring of the night
