Poetry a Sin

In Myanmar, a junta military
Silences poets solitary
Poetic expression is a sin
Like so much trash in a bin

We must write for you to read
That everywhere the strong lead
The weak have trampled upon rights
With few to write about your fights

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.
