Cry Burma

Freedom went

So long ago

Democracy died

Along with state

Their leader and mentor

Aung San Suu Kyi

Tried to create.

Evil tyrants

In khaki dress

Fire the bullets

Into human flesh

Ripping out freedom

With chunks of lead

As Monks and Nuns

Lay dying and dead.

A puppet state

Of China

Next door

The Generals

With soldiers

They employ

But forty years

Is far to long

Military rule

They can’t defend.

China must make

This nightmare end.

This poem has been posted many times over the years in the vain hope that this brave and courageous woman would gain her freedom to bring democracy to Burma,over recent days this might become a reality....
