Bidadari in Ashes

I wish I'd seen the old lad's tomb,
for now his grave has been exhumed

The naked land rolls on and on,
deathly silent and forlorn,

An eerie light creeps through the leaves
and tugs, and tugs at drooping trees

They burnt the peace to gain the space,
now only stubborn souls still haunt th' place

/yay a post. my great grandfather was buried at bidadari/bididari cemetery near potong pasir. one of singapore's last beautiful cemeteries. now it's just empty and boarded up, awaiting the new MRT line.
