PEACOCK FLAGS ON THE STREETS (part 2)
(A Glorious History of 1988 Uprising & Students’ Democracy Movement)
A historic day of 87 September...A beautiful day
It was near (R.I.T.) final exam...
A group of R.I.T's students
Near the bus stop
They came out on the Road (Insein-DaNyinGone
Road)
They shouted slogans against (B.S.P.P.)
They united in the sunshine...
They stood up in the campus (R.I.T.compound)
They felt the people's tears
They burst out the feelings
Students from hostels.....( Block A.B.C.D.E...etc. )
They stood up ......
They took part .....
They strike against The Dictatorship Goverment (B.S.P.P.) ....
They had no more fears
They had no more tears
It was amazing time............
Shouting and Shouting.........
It sound like '' Than-gyat in water festival ''
Students united under the blue sky
It's a call for Democracy Revolution
They broke out.......
Against the (B.S.P.P.)
They stood up........
For the people's sake
They showed up........
Sprits of freedom
All ethnic students united for freedom movements
They started a revolution to Democracy way
And then.......
DEMOCRACY Mass movements brought down....
A dictatorship Government......to fall down
