My Borther and Sister

My brother, sister

Your life is a butter 
lamp,offering.
For our nation and land;
For  the freedom and rights.

The moment, burning,
The sparks
Aroused thousands of Tibetans,
The flames
Ignited people's souls

Until last your breathe,
Hopping,
Your death 
Can change Chinese rule.
Your pain 
Remained the world to help.

You died in fire 
But remain alive in the world .
You were killed by torture 
But died in glory.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
