Our Last Respect


Don't just pass by like hurrying cars

It's like wounds beyond healing 

That leave forever scars

Dream of dreams reigned for years 

Now we dance in pool of wishes 

Our eyes still behold as we lay still 

Wave us on rainy days and don't cry for us on sunny days

When sun set remember there's no night here

For that alone salute us

Ugly is our city yet we endure the luxuries of woods we share with our termite Lords

Give us recognition as you journey through our city

Smile at our graves
