Selangor my home state
During my younger days
I didn't see the huge water problem
She was on the massive developments stage
As the years gone by
Too many people too many jams
Traveling and enjoying life had gone
It became a stressful state to live in
I left Selangor ages ago
I lived on the hill
I lived on South and North
Finally I lived on the island
Then I moved to university town
Listening to the stories of heyday of tin
Of the tin mining ponds and suicide
One at the corner of the market
They called the Dead pond mining
Many died there in those years
One went fishing drowned
One emptied his waste but disappeared
Women jumped in and drowned
Love affairs gone wrong or money woes
The setbacks of life one should stand firm
Dead is giving up without learning how to fail
The town is easy going
Less traffic except during festive seasons
Moving about is like a breeze
Water problem fixed it within a few hours
So I stayed
Living the life I enjoy
Of course Selangor still stays with me
The State where I was born and schooled
