The Scariest Place I Experienced

In 1975 everybody was evacuated
From the cities by the Monster Pol Pot
We though that was our fate
To live in rural places on the spot

Along the Cambodian border as a line of dots
For that suffer I have never forgotten
At that time I was very young
The killing, the starvation, and the sickness were among

No matter what age which went along
Even if you thought you were young and strong
Everything belonged to the monster
That everybody had to suffer

But one of the scariest things I remember
Until now I had never ever
Forgotten what I saw
Like a print from a dog’s paw

You think it sounds like evil flaw
Or just like cooked meat is still raw
Whoever I saw in front of my eyes
I felt that I was going to die

Even now it was everything in my mind
So that I would like to forget even if I try
For that thousand years of burial place
Which popped out in front of my face

I saw things like a white lace
Or like you rind the meat into a paste
Then I remember that my father
Told us not to walk that way if we prefer

But he did not tell us and he never
Said anything about that burial ground
Which was so big like a river
And became very long and high like a mount

It was very scary, as it sounded
Later it was still there when I found
At that time most of my family passed away
One by one like a fictitious play

That which I remember that my father tried to say
But he did not tell us what happened there anyway
Only at that time four of us were alive
Think about that I wanted to cry

Even though we still survived
I was the only one who was looking for food
Everything I could get if I would
Even I did not know how I still tried

That was not only food in my mind
It was also the dry would I would strive
For my oldest sister to cook with
That was the task after work I would really need

It was not a thing for my good deed
Find food for them so they could eat
On my lunch time for two hours
Everybody took naps like blooms of flowers

Poor me I took the time and I should suffer
To find food and wood if I looked further
I could not find dry wood anywhere
The only place to find it was over there

The burial place was a nightmare
I heard what the other people said, but I did not care
I had to find wood and food for my family
That place and the solution would be my key

To encourage me to go and want to see
Because there were a lot of dead trees
My mind wiped everything off
Only I could see was dead wood loaf

I knew that this place was not for golf
It was not like jelly which is so soft
I forgot everything at that time
It was not. I went to find meat of lamp

And I did not think that was a crime
I wanted to get dead wood on my break time
I forgot everything about burial place
I did not know what happened and what I would face

I prayed to my father not to jump out the surface
Like you ate food before you taste
When I got there I thought it was a big mount
With my kilometers of length above the ground

And a lot of dead tress which I found
I started to get scared but I did not heard any sound
So I decided to walk though a lot of trees
Not many dead that I could see

Some dead trees were in the middle and could be
Pulling out or broken up by me
They were about a few meters high
Even I did not know how to climb the tree but I smile

I walked forward and I started to cry
My body shook and thought if I could fly
I prayed to my father every second
This might be the place to be abandoned

I walked on the dead leaves which were blowed and gone
I was not like you got into the pond
At that time it was noon when I was there
It was really scary and it was not fair

To me to do this for my family like a bear
This was the first and time I would swear
I reached to the small trunk of the little dead tree
I did not know how to climb up but I would be

So I could get the dead wood for my family
This was the first thought in my mind
Because they were always the first priority
Even I guessed that I would die

I hold a little trunk of that tree and I tried
Like I climbed the rope at school, then I smiled
By forgetting anything surrounding me
Again I prayed to by father if he could see

Trying to climb up on a little dead tree
He might cry and think that I should be
Lived in the luxury life in the big mansion
Now that I had to be in this condition

But I had to calm my mind and pay attention
In order to break the branches without attraction
I hold the trunk and kicked the branches with my foot
Even I did this and not in good mood

Suddenly I heard the walked steps
I turned to the direction where I heard
Fix or six meter there was something
I thought there were the noise of the birds

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh,, it was even the dirts
It was a woman along with the herbs
Wearing a long silk printed skirt, patterned
Like a phython skin if you had learned

Also, she wore a white scarf which would fit
But she used her scarf as her good deed
To put on top of her head
And covered her face like a cat

If I really saw her face I would be dead
Just right on the scene if she was mad
I prayed to my father and I talked very loud
To that spirit like I talked in the crowd

Please forgive me that I wanted to talk about
That I came here to clean so you can see the cloud
And took the dead trees out as you could imagine
I did a little by lille, so slow, not like a machine

So you could have your place which was very clean
And I cam again and again everyday
I meant what I said and I would lean
To clean you gorgeous place anyway

And after that I tried to open my eyes halfway
You do not believe that she walked away
Then I turned my face to other direction below
I saw a lot of opened coffin, very slow

But I saw nothing, only the dark glow
Because there were very deep as you know
I decided to stop and get down
Surprisingly I heard another sound

Do you know what I saw and found?
A man bending his head over to the ground
This was not what I heard
Neither the thunder or the sound of the birds

I heard like somebody chopping the woods
Or somebody tried to dig the dirts
That what I really heard
But what I saw, I thought I should

Run for my life if I could and should
I thought that somebody came to look for wood
I realized that there was another spirit
My hair started to go upward and my eyes hit

To my back neck if I could split
My body shook and got down at a low speed
At that time I should walk out with woods
It seemed like my family in my mind so I should

And decided to break pieces of branches of the wood
Tied them up so my old sister used them to cook food
I was shaking and I could not tie them very fast
I pray to my father very fast

Help me to concentrate and forget about the past
Also father as quick as with the mass
Of wood in front of me and tried to flee
I still had my mother, sister, nephew, and me

That all four of us stayed together and should be
Stay at no matter what would happen
I walked down but I almost fell down on my knees
Without looking around or avoiding any breeze

I finally got out of the thousand burial place
Now I understand this place was the haunted spree
That nobody told me about this surface
Anyway I fought and tried to get out the spirit free

Then I ran out as fast as I flee
And I no longer heard and would see
Any unnatural and strange spirit again
You believe that I ran like a man

You know I was not the spirit fan
Even nowadays and long before then
I came to my family with my breath taking
And my mother asked me what was happening

I replied to her that there were really spirits and I was just saying
And nobody never ever told me about regarding
The very haunted place for thousands of years
I talked brokenly and I was really full of fear

I swore in my life that I never went near
To the haunted place without rear
As long as we still lived in this rural place
And prayed and thanked to my father race

Who always made and taught me about the grave
That I loved him all in my heart and he would never be replaced
To anybody in the whole wide world
No even the water start to curl

Of all, any lifetime that would swirl
I was and will by my Daddy’s girl
Forever and forever until the world will end
We won’t be separated at any even

At that time I cam to my family in a sudden
That my father helped me and I had never forgotten
If it was not I would die in that burial area
My life and death would come really near

My mother said to me you were alive and did not fear
We needed the Holy Water and clear
From the Abbott to pour on me
That was impossible as you can see

Pol Pot destroyed all religion and families
All the people died at all races every
Single minute and at every time
He committed a very big crime

Therefore, I stayed alive at that time
Even with Holy Water my life spinned like a dime
I was very sick and became thinner
And this was the scariest place I have experienced, ever
