kampung tengah was a memory


The young boys of the past
In the history of the village long in memory
The village boys playing in various physical activities
In the village open space

There were seasons for the activities
The boys would decide the duration
Kite flying, marbles playing, baseball games
Fighting fish, fighting spiders and killing lizards

The seasons came and gone so quickly
The village boys learned and exposed
The greed and fighting spirit...
Of the games played in the evening

To the tail end of the village
The young boys grew wealth became and issue
The structure of rich and poor came into focus
The friendship couldn't last the test of time

The gangs in the village
The young lads never joined
They saw the police detectives
They saw the gangs caught

The old people would say
Don't join them
If you know what is good to you
Stay away from these gangs”

Developments came
The village disappeared
Kampung Tengah was a memory

Once it was the village in the town
