Ombahadur Bagale Thapa
A student, a youth
Who used to have plenty of dreams in life
Now they are afraid of a good dine.
Friends,
Who used to share the feelings between each other
Now they sacrificed for a nation’s future.
Parents,
Who used to work hard for a child
Now it was taken and destroyed.
Family,
Where used to be warm and happiness
Now full of sorrows and pain.
Citizens,
Who used to be happy in life
Now they are tortured and murdered at night.
The leaders,
Who always used to serve of its own people
Now arbitrarily sent to house arrest.
A country,
Where used to be rich and famous
Now it is intentionally neglected.
But now we are together united
with full of commitment and inner strength
Say ‘No for dictator ‘ for the rest.
[Ombahadur Bagale Thapa is a poet from Myanmar.]
No to Dictators
