Karma

By Misokun/1986

The peaceful villages have been ravaged
The city life has been terminated
City houses have become haunted tombs
Paved avenues have been invaded by wild plants
The sound of Trors, Kim, Ro-neat, drums
have been laid to rest

The Kingdom has been silent from the world

An illusion of peace

Kam-puchea has been sleeping—dreaming

Then woke up with only tears in the middle of nightmares.

Ah...must have been bad karma.
