the river flows

The river flows

The debris it brings

Floating with all kinds

Sometimes the dead too

Little by little the dirty swells

The smell isn't sweet no more

It smells of decay in the water and mind

The dead fishes floating up eyes staring wild

What it is? They all seemed to say

The humans have forgotten to take care of the land

They bring destructions from the hills to the river

In the religious places of worships

Many will attend and pray for tomorrow

Out of the praying sessions

They fail to see the sins in their eyes

The dirty and dead water in the river

They don't take immediate actions

They think nature will take care herself

But the rain fall in late night

Bringing more yellow mud and debris

Clogging the river mouth

Rising the water flooding the town

There is a lesson to learn

Don't forget responsibility

Nature expects us to take

The full measures on the land

We can't ignore our sins

It will come to claim back

Nature will not stand its way

The sins of our days must be paid

The river flows

The course still remains

We shouldn't forget

We will have to pay

The old stories will return
