It was,
The cry of millions and
Unforgettable episode of the History.
Is it the instigation of victory?
Not a dream, but a reality.
Seeing is believing.
The march of monks and the mass,
Reality of the rights is revealed under the lord of death.
Offering and risking the precious lives.
Today is always the best day.
Burma is the Golden […]

A volcanic rupture of the peoples’ desire
Extruding from Burma’s deeply rooted magma
Monk-led eruption with ash cloud of vision
For a country poisoned and sundered by SPDC
The lava of people, peaceful and harmless, flows
Along the conduits throughout the country
Layers of monks, civilians and students
Flanked and united for freedom and liberty
A barbaric junta of Ne Win, the late […]

Where are those voices of ‘Metta’?
While the Evils still in power
Where are those Saffron power?
Glittering in the sky
Deep in our mind
Though Evils rule our land
With their bloody hands.
Where are those ‘Sons of Buddha’?
While the guns still pointing our hearts
Where are those ‘Peaceful Walks’?
Glittering beyond the horizon
Still shining for the by-gone
Though Evils rule our land
With thier bloody […]

I’ve come through the road
Coming toward my chest
That brings me where your net lies
Does Love just causes
The half moon to smile
Or removing the jasmine on your hair?
For me, love is just like a silent crime
I have a bad mind
As well as expecting a good time.
To love one nationality to the others
To understand one religion to […]

By May Ng,
August 2008, New York
Do you recall the land of golden spires?
Where morning bells are answered with murmurs of saffron prayers
And the silence of bare feet echoing their innocence
In a land overwhelmed by evilness and greed
A message of hope for hearts in deepest despair
In a language of love for a people enduring only callousness […]

Bogyoke
Spoke for the freedom
And democracy as he planned
Though our land
Still run in fear
And in the evils’ hand.
Bogykoe
Unrivalled and his comrades
Though they are gone for decades.
Generals…Generals
Even Senior General
Shamelessly born
And the Titles are plenty for Generals
Bogyoke
Unrivalled and his comrades
Though they are gone for decades.
Generals…Generals
Even Senior General
They are not worth to salute
They are just dusts under Bogyoke’s boots.

If fight with other planet in the future,
invent more nuclear,
United each other,
We need to protect the world.
All colors are bright,
All religions right
We don’t need to fight
Destroy all nuclear
We need to protest the war.
Not only for me and you
Also for new generations
Don’t forget, remind you
{We, all die one day}
Who loves peace?
Don’t play the war game
Start the […]

Through the eras,
Somewhere has natural disaster.
Earth faces human’s error.
The world is non-stop crying.
Walking down the countries,
Somebody is hungry.
Some people are angry.
Where’s people’s power?
Who writes the history?
Who fights for a victory?
Nowhere has security,
Why make me crazy?
Respect the human rights,
Compromise with each other,
No reconciliation, more confrontation,
Is the world near the end?

It’s raining
A girl going into the campus
Wearing red…so red as blood
But I couldn’t see her face
As she’s away in haste
Now, I could see her nearer
Her fashion is getting clearer
Not she likes red color
But she’s wrapped in blood
And July rain couldn’t fade the red
She’s running now
Looking for someone
Someone she loves
July rain brutally heavy again
Where could she […]

POETRY IN THE STORM
You must let me have my poetry even in the storm
I cannot see the cyclone or twelve foot waves
But I can feel your heartbeat ebbing away.
I cannot picture myself in the storm
But I can feel the dark side
I can feel your soft feet in the white sheets being swept away
I can feel […]

The way of the mundane world
in which win and lose
wrong and right
praise and blame are facts of life,
confront it with freedom from fear.
A bright and peaceful idea
to establish the new era
that end the long civil war
and work for the national reconciliation
by a sacrifice and a non-violent confrontation
bravely face the dictatorship’s oppression .
The unity of people […]

There is a lady
But not an ordinary
She’s got the power
To change the lives
To change the country.
…
There she came
But those who are shame
As butchers with develish manners
To kill the people
To drill the country in hell.
…
Just one lady
But everyone’s filled with her memories
She’s got the power
To help us free from fear
To lead us for new era.
…
There is […]

BURMA’S NON-POLITICAL FLOOD
_ written by a friend in Myanmar
Water, water, all around me
But I am so.. so… thirsty.
Here, there, human bodies’ everywhere
But none alive accompany me and share.
And I look at myself
Broken hopes and empty handed.
And I look further around
Just like a post heavy-battled ground.
Wild cyclone has wiped all things down.
Where are those kids from […]

Burma: The People Vs The Regime
Van Biak Thang (Chinland Guardian)
May 26, 2007
…
The people made their own choices
And sent their voices
In a peaceful way;
The regime broke their promises
And signalled their forces
In their martial way.
…
The people stood up for their rights
And showed their plights,
United as one;
The regime turned their deaf ears
And gave their orders
With many a gun.
…
The […]

Death of a Quiet Man
All those violent ends
Documented in my living years:
Gandhi, Kennedy, Luther King
Indira and her son; Aung San,
Benazir and her father
All standing up to lead.
Now a quiet Karen, exiled
From his home in Burma.
Padoh Mahn Sha, a man of peace
Stood up to lead.
A solitary calling, his wife dead
His children far away.
Sharing food with him, […]

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 […]

Some say that where there is co-existence
There is predation, and
The fear of being hunted
This of course is true for animals
When only the fittest survive
And perhaps for people of the Middle Ages
.
But we live in the 21st Century
And
In these days of higher technology
When scientists and inventors have progressed so much
Why do we still have to live […]
