haze of sickness

Woke up in the morning

I saw the mountain range

Clear in the sky

Maybe I thought it was to be

Nay..it never happened

Within an hour the haze came

Counting the hours of the day

By afternoon no sign of the mountain

The air quality is bad

The visibility is still bearable

The nation can't do much

The Cabinet ministers talk

Tea-breaks and sharing notes

In Indonesia trying to put blame

Offering help from Singapore

Indonesia turned it down

In Malaysia talking of MOUs

Through the years what happened?

I guess nothing much in the bag

Since 1997 when haze laughing at us

Coughing and sore throat

Medicines or home remedies

But with the haze growing thick

Indonesia will pay for her sins
