RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Myanmar
Myanmar is under military rule
The people live in utter fear
Every time they call for democracy
The generals circle and draw near
Human rights have been struck down
They may not rise again
Like the ship that’s run aground
It is not what it has been
The hope of their republic
Was beaten battered and crushed
Civilian rule was tossed aside
And scattered in the dust
Now poverty and bloody violence
Becomes a certain path
A cycle of grim destruction
As all sides take their wrath
The lesson of this war-torn state
Is as sad as it is true
Once the military seizes power
It does what it will do
