He is the Architect of Burma’s Independence; the Founder of the Union of Burma; the Creator of Burma’s armed forces called Tatmadaw; the Mentor for all people of Burma; the political God over all Burmese politicians [...]

Eruption of
Vesuvius volcano
Was quite scenic to look at
From Capri Island, it was said so
As Pompeii
Lies buried under lava

The Speaking Flower
A FLOWER GREW ON TROPICAL SOIL
ITS PETALS WAXEN WHITE,
ITS CENTRE CRIMSON;
THE PEOPLE KNELT
AND SMELT HER
INTOXICATING FRAGRANCE
AND THEN FELT
MYSTERIOUSLY – FREE.
SOON THE FLOWER
WAS TRANSPLANTED
ONTO YONDER SHORES,
IT BLOSSOMED,
SPROUTED LIMBS,
SWAYING IN THE WIND,
IT BREATHED THE BREEZE
OF LIBERTY.
ONE DAY,
THE FLOWER RETURNED;
STRIKING HER ORIGINAL SOIL
HER COLOURS IGNITED;
FROM HER PETALS
CRIMSON ROSE ENFLAMED:
‘EVEN THE SEARING HEAT
CAN NOT ERASE
THE BLOOD
ON THE [...]

A Cry From Burma
By Van Biak Thang
How much more innocent blood ought to be shed
And how many more civilians need be shredded
That Burma’s protracted power-cancered crisis
Be recognised, accepted and heard as a deadly virus
Thousands are internally displaced and preyed on
And ethnic nationalities oppressed and forgotten
Whose villages and houses, bulldozed and burnt down
Yet their plights [...]

Is Made in China
Later, I am reading polity things
UN and officials doing something
Oh! God God God!
My own country country
Was [...]
