the selfie tourists


The selfie tourists
Flocking to Kelantan
What they wanted to see?
A page of history?

So many motorists
Clogging the roads
After floods had receded
They wanted a piece of h istory

The relief workers
Wish these people could help
With so many jamming up the roads
But it is a wishful dreaming

The selfie tourists
Clicking the disaster scenes
Of misery and pain of the victims
Houses and properties lost in the floods

If only they could help
Fold up their sleeves and pants
Take brooms or pails or buckets
Help the victims to clear up mud and rubbish

But this is the page of history
The selfie tourists want to keep as souvenirs
The flooded town and its neighbours
Of nature warning and humans suffering
