The Secret War and a civil war

I live through two wars. Not many people think of these wars, but they were wars. I was in Primary school, station next to my school were soldiers from England, Australia and New Zealand. They came to fight a war in Sarawak.

When I was in Secondary school, there was a civil war. Some people did not like the Government. They came and disturb the peace, they told us not to obey the government. They drew graffiti on the walls of our classroom. They went to people's houses to take records, magazines and book.

One evening, soldiers came in their trucks. They announced that we were having a 24 hours curfew. This means we can't go outside the house. It was very frightening.

Peter, Paul & Mary – Where Have All The Flowers Gone Lyrics

Listen to Where Have All The Flowers Go…
Pete Seeger- Sanga Music Inc -BMI

Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls have picked them everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time ago?
Where have all the young girls gone?
Gone for husbands everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the husbands gone, long time passing?
Where have all the husbands gone, long time ago?
Where have all the husbands gone?
Gone for soldiers everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards, everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the graveyards gone, long time passing?
Where have all the graveyards gone, long time ago?
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Gone to flowers, everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls have picked them everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?
