House Arrest

A passionate Gemini fought brutal rule of dictators
There was a clash with the false debaters
Rarely expressed her true expression in house arrest
Because she never wanted to show she was stressed

Twenty years passed by with perseverance 
She could not jeopardize everyone’s assurance
Separated from her husband and children
She misses them dearly and accepts the life given

The courageous Aung San Suu Kyi wins glory
This makes the world rejoice writing a new story
