There once was a man named O’Malley
Who married this lady named Sally
Neighbors thought her a drip
Shocked them all when she stripped
Police called, watched her grand finale

Lightning strikes, fire
Invincible to water
Attempts to clear land
Authors Note: I wrote this after witnessing a nasty lightning storm, one in which we were stuck. The power of destruction is something to quiver at.

Where magnolia trees blossom
In springtime splendor

Fly from me, sweet dragon, seek
Heed the words, I now, must speak
Find the kingdom, cross the land
Bring to me, the guarded strand
Kept close to she, the princess fair
You must catch her, unaware
Cast this spell, of sleep, upon her
O’er the knights, in forest yonder
Who think I am an ignorant fool
But I shall have their precious jewel
Complete this task, I set to thee
Bring back that which belongs to me
The piece that causes much vexation
For I never utter fruitless incantations

Circa 1960
The militia drew upon us, as we tried to journey on
Amid guns, clashing, shattered souls against brawn
We fled in every direction, but we never got away
Some of us, left to die, alone, most every day
A new regime took over, nothing really changed
Led by men who hated, those who were deranged
Burma, is how I knew you, those many years ago
Myanmar took your name, oh, how I miss you so
Hunger and starvation, we knew them all too well
This country is no longer, the place I wish to dwell
The clashes still exist where, no religion has its peace
And I remain here, stranded, praying for my release
Myanmar (Burma) today: In 2011, the military junta was officially dissolved following a 2010 general election, and a nominally civilian government was installed. This, along with the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and political prisoners, has improved the country’s human rights record and foreign relations, and has led to the easing of trade and other economic sanctions. There is, however, continuing criticism of the government’s treatment of ethnic minorities, its response to the ethnic insurgency, and religious clashes. (Wikipedia)
