Red, red, Oh’ August
We have nothing to lose but our chains.

Red, red, Oh’ August
We have promises to keep, and miles to go before we sleep.

Red, red, Oh’ August
We all are Spartacus.

Red, red, Oh’ August
Let’s hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

 – The night hit hard with dark storm

The dark soaked in every corner

There in the dark came

The misery in stealth

And you …

I have longed for your smile .

– Under the dazzling search light

With the mystical might

There at the roof edge

Dangled and gone

Then run the scared wardens

From the side of hangman ward

Stirred by sight of yours

Let us sing for Unsung Heroes

MoeMaKa Win

Breaths there the man with soul so dead,

who never  hath enshrined his heart with the Dhamma(Buddha’s teachings),

who can spread goodwill and loving kindness all around?
