I've had just enough time to... ponder the greed of men
Taken of the village boys watching the mud flow of Sidoarjo, Java that flooded their village
The mud bubbling out the vent from the ground in the distance indicated by the rising steam
The mud was in the ground
As it always had been
Man’s greed caused it
To be pumped out
To get to the gas within
But man did not reckon
With Nature’s wrath
Now the mud flows endlessly
Inundating the poor man’s house
While the rich ran away
That is the tragedy of Lusi
Houses in higher ground covered up to the roof, all else have gone under
