I cross the bridge, there’s no more sorrow<\/p>\n
Across the bridge, there’s more tomorrow<\/p>\n
I cross the bridge, traversing the river flow<\/p>\n
Across the bridge, a tear drop, sinks below…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mabang! Thy tapestry weaves to a finer discourse<\/p>\n
Where men, kindled their minds to flow across…<\/p>\n
On your river banks, the arms spread a gloss<\/p>\n
Of finer steels, hardened and test-fitted by man, the boss!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Where is thy foot stand, oh quiet Mabang!<\/p>\n
Where is thy best-fit, the linear-flowing Mabang!<\/p>\n
The tweets of the birds, echo your currents, swift Mabang!<\/p>\n
Across the bridge, your strength gave in, with debris, O Mabang!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The planks could not please man, nor hold the boss<\/p>\n
Neither the bolts, nor the nuts, could ever contain his iron horse<\/p>\n
In the ‘land of the free’, fair hearts, chide with your loss<\/p>\n
The rivulets, cut a sombre chord; ‘Mabang bridge’ is fallen down, in remorse…<\/p>\n
