M: For     Justice Equality Truths & Rights   Monks of Myanmar May God Almighty Protect you As you lead your people With moral authority Against Murderers and Tyrants With their illegal authority Behind unjust laws Violating our humanity   Monks of Myanmar Can you hear that sound That sound of silence On notes of betrayal From Rome to Jerusalem Mecca to Canterbury For all these centuries This marriage Religions and Governments Dancing away our humanity   Monks of Myanmar Today be the World’s conscience Highlighting this hypocritical state That its not reasons and excuses Before Truths and Rights That oppression Will never have a justification That cherished lines Defining niches and divisions Are but the cages Imprisoning our humanity   Monks of Myanmar Put these religious leader To task, to carry out their duties Defending the Godliness That demand equality and justice That Patriarchs and Martyrs revered From Christ to the Buddha Allah to Moses Led with moral authority Defending humanity   Monks of Myanmar I await with you For this silence to be broken To hear the voices of Minister’s Priest’s, Rabbi’s, Imam’s Coming to your defense Leading this resistance against          The injustice Putting nothing before our humanity.        [Home] [About] [Contact Us] [Poetry] [My Poetry] [Featured Poem] [User Poems] [Three Poems] [Events] [Guidelines] [Legal]
