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)
