Eulogy for a Martyr
(English version followed by Burmese one)
Eulogy for a Martyr
Who knew what was happening?
Inside your chest?
Inside your cell?
How you felt?
Who knew?
Now we are left to wonder.
……………….
……………………………..!
They say that your heart burst.
It must have been overflowed with love.
Love for Burma, love for us.
Your tormented heart might have failed
To keep your chained body alive.
Yet, in life or in death, you did not fail Burma.
You did not fail us.
Burma has failed you.
We have failed you.

Killing is a great sin in each and every religion.
The first and the foremost basic Human Right is the right to live and respect a
fellow human's life.
Killing is prohibited to any human being - - -regardless of origin or creed.

In 1988, many students were cut down by the military butchers near the "white bridge" while struggling for Democracy in a peaceful way. Since then the bridge has turned into "red color", painted with blood of the fallen students. This Red Bridge will stay forever in the heart of every freedom fighters and those who sypathize on Democracy movement. Now, the tide of "White Expression" is rising and the student of 88 generation rides again. If the junta tries to stop this tide, it has to face another wave and this time it will be as big as an enormous tide like Tsunami that eventually will sweeps away the junta once and for all. The military junta has to bear in minds that students' activities will never die as long as the junta stays in power. It is high time that the military butchers hand over power to NLD and return to barracks where they belong.
