lessons to learn


The jilted lover
Once we make the score
The walls will be broken
We will bag the severe wrath

Don't ever think we can escape
The jilted lover will make it public
Sewing tales of broken promises
Scoring points on lives in the bag

Nature has shown her displeasure
The decades of untold distractions
Every green developed and wasted
Leaving her crying in shame

When her walls are broken
The unkind guests start to emerge
We have seen the splash floods
We have seen viruses attack

But we don't listen
We continue to clear the jungles
We continue to push up flames of developments
Though she send signals through the decades

We had our share of Mers, Sars, swine fever and bird flu
We carried it through though we didn't learn the facts
We still continue our usual tactics of destroying nature
Now we watch helplessly when C19 walks the scene

Death and sickness we watch and read
The jilted lover brands her revenge in pain and sorrow
This will help us sit up and learn
People will die; economy will go flat
