Military Coup (Myanmar)

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS


Military Coup (Myanmar)

 

Beware military strongmen

Who claim to know what’s right

Nine times out of ten

The people lose this fight

 

The cornerstone of the republic

Is a peaceful transfer of power

When the military takes over

Our prospects become dour

 

There are many would be kings

It seems a basic human flaw

But if we want to maintain freedom

We need the rule of law

 

Do not sacrifice your rights

To any power hungry thieves

For when we make that woeful choice

We will perpetually grieve
