rbu TWO SCORE YEARS ERE, THEN AND NOW

Under rainstorms, Phnom Penh is bombarded,
Within an hour, the City's flooded,
Look! Everywhere we certainly see flood,
And the streets are covered with mud, and mud!

Squalls of rainstorms attack the Capital,
As if two score years ere, in mid-April,
The Rouge bombarded Phnom Penh with rockets,
Vvrrrooommm! Some had their eye-balls out of sockets.

Oh, what's the difference between then and now?
When rockets showered Phnom Penh, Who saw How,
Corpses were seen scattered here and there.
What horrible scenes to see, smell and bear!

When then there were corpses covered with blood,
Now 'tis seen streets are under floods with mud,
People were evictedd out of town then,
Peace does seem to prevail now and again.

A bit ere four, the dark skies beat retreat,
The thunders sound their missions are complete,
And what is left is people are busy,
Cleaning their city and make theirs tidy.

គ្រាន់តែភ្លៀង១០នាទីប៉ុណ្ណោះ ម្តុំស្តុបផ្សារដេរប៉ូ ទឹកពោរពេញទ្រូងផ្លូវទៅហើយ។
