the humming bird man


The humming bird man
Once he used to shout non-stop
Ringing his voice loudly
Around the neighbourhood
And the passers-by

Since the day of an incident
He wanted to hoe his neighbour
She video clipped him
And made the police report
In no time the police came
He was handcuffed and took away

He was sent to Tanjung Rambutan
He stayed for around 6 months
When he returned home
He is a quiet mouse now
The medication has kept him low
It has controlled his mind

The trained nurses will come
Once a few months to check on him
So far, they came twice on visits
Maybe give advice to his mother
What needs to be done

His neighbour shifted away
She wasn’t interested to stay around
A mad man can turn violent without notice
Now the police have a history on the man
Next time it is easy to make report

The humming bird man
He hardly stands at his gate
He doesn’t show his face regularly
He stays indoor keeping his silence
Now the neighbourhood is quiet
But the stray dogs make their appearance
