The Lady
Today I fast and pray
in my own humble way
for a land
for a people
for anyone in the world
holding freedom in their hearts
like a bonfire
that refuses to be put out
I pray for the political-power junkies
with their money-hungry flunkies
who have nothing better
to do with their days
than to oppress and kill off
their own beautiful people
? and hook millions more
innocent lives across the seas
on the lurid pleasures
of the poppy seed
Today I fast and pray
with many people around the world
for The People
for The Lady
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
