Yo Eric Lim,
Hope you're confining your marches to the sois of Nang Linchi and not the streets of Sala Daeng. While all the hooha is going on, I had a wee tittle tattle with my little brain and came up with a whatever you want to call it.
Permit me to share it with you.
Sunrise sunset
An explosion of blazing yellows and fiery reds
We give not a second thought
To how each and every day is born
So why get so alarmed
when man seeks a new dawn
Sunrise sunset
Nature's heartbeat upon life's rich tapestry
We give not a second thought
When the glow of day meets the dark of night
So why look so aghast
When our hopes and fears collide
Sunrise sunset
Come rain or shine, hell or high water
We give not a second thought
When our skies weep and our lands bleed
So why feel so aggrieved
When it comes to our city streets
Sunrise sunset
That's how it was, is and always will be
We give not a thought
To the same, time after time, again and again
So why stand so apart
Over a mere cycle of man
