Sister Ann Roza

She asked the armed forces please don't shoot
A lady of high resolve and definitely so resolute
Kneeling before these men who carried guns 
Without doubt she was the bravest of all nuns

Prepared to die to save the protestors lives 
Freedom and peace is what this nun strives
The nun turned to the forces and started to cry
Protesters are innocent she said they shouldn't die

Sister Ann Roza is a most wonderful human being 
I hope you reading this are with me agreeing 
Her remarkable story is so poignant and true 
The people of Myanmar should not forget you
