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
