This dissonant age
leaves us zero, for our dignity is gone;
devils are dancing on the throne
The dead last of the new millennium planet
now is our country,
what a nasty age to be
They regale us with shameless jokes
Pigmen never pause in shooting fusillades
We, like the slaves are indentured to listen
for they have in holsters, their guns
Now is sticky with blood slime
This is once a road where the fighting peacocks ran
What a bad age so sickened
Yearling are born;
for the tiger beasts
they are always a feast
Fratricide prevails,
this is the age star bucks fade away
My entire house is falling
with such wicked conflagration;
need to inure myself
how I can be winking
that this dilapidation has never been seen
Like a faint-hearted turtle small
my little stealthy head is
hiding inside the ego shell,
Why I am so cowering to those rumbling knells
All of us
we find ourselves drowning
in the river of deprivation and starvation;
this is the age of
we are now living
(Original writer: Kaung Kin Ko)

Ko Burmakin,
So why not these fawns wait,until they mature,sharpening their horns,concert together to fight back the tigers.

It is more honorable to die rather than passively listening to those shameless jokes.Carry On!The blood of fawns and peacocks have not been dry yet.

Dear Burmakin,
I took one and half hours or so for reading your poem so beautiful vocabularies.
I was angrier and angrier at you for I exhaust finding such "stupid" words in dictionary.But it is very nice to know such English.

Joke is quite a positive word having a sense of merriment.You should use "farce" that has a negative sense,remember "Phatalone Gaung Kya" in jeering at the unfair paradoxes of the world

No grace to see lizards with Buddha.
That's very bad.

Dear Ko Burmakin,
The web link of this comment is on
http://padaukmyay.blogspot.com/2008/01/blog-post_893.html
Yes,this is a beautiful example. Unfortunately,this is for the direction of Burmakin's argument and not for the direction of F & S.
Referring his example,there are two ways to help the fish for their survival:(1)put the fish into the sea or (2)bring the sea into the fishes.I believe he is speaking about no.(1).
If you are the god to help the fish and you have the above two ways to choose, which way you will choose? Putting fishes into the sea or moving the sea to land for fishes.
Even the most irrational human being on earth will not choose No.2, because there is no time and no resource to move the sea into the dry land for fish's sustenance.If you think yourself you are a god to be able to create according to your whim, you will probably choose No.2 to put the sea on land so that the nature will be completely reverse,"water flows from the lower place to the upper place".
Sea and rivers exist not because people create them. But because this is the principle of nature for them to exist there.This is the nature of a river to be flowing from the mountain to a valley, not to be flowing from the ground to the sky.If a river has the ability to flow into the sky,no land animal is able to survive today.
Markets exist because people and god are rational.This is called the market intelligence that made the people's decision for their investment.God doesn't need to create the markets but markets arise spontaneously where the need and incentives exist.That is why,the real rational youths leave Burma where there is no landscape for their capacity and intelligence.
But people who think themselves as God are thinking about moving the sea to land for survival of fishes who has already tried in their own way to jump into the sea. I am also not sure whether or not these god-to-bes, who sounds very sincere to the self-restrained youths in Burma, had ever helped a youth or so(a fish or two) to be able to go into the market before they thought about moving the market(the sea) into Burma(the land).
