Not knowing what drama the day would yet yield

a junta's brutality is beset
captured for the world to see
the batoned beating of democracy

...I was born in the odds, 
I lived through it,
dotted the lines on my path
I was born among hyenas,

Greenest with infant's sinless stare; 
Before soles more selfish than sane
Had trodden its dreary derelict main.
