Singapore River

Lee Tzu Pheng

 

The operation was massive;

designed to give new life

to the old lady.

We have cleaned out

her arteries, removed 

detritus and silt,

created a by-pass

for the old blood

Now you can hardly tell

her history.

 

We have become 

so health-conscious

the heart

can sometimes be troublesome 

Editor's notes

The author is trying to bring across the idea that something we should feel proud of (i.e. our past history) is constantly shunned and improved upon instead of being seen as a positive thing.
