The Angel of Burma

DAW ANG SAN SUU KYI

In The Quiet Land
(By Daw Aung San Suu Kyi)

In the Quiet Land, no one can tell
if there's someone who's listening
for secrets they can sell.
The informers are paid in the blood of the land
and no one dares speak what the tyrants won't stand.

In the quiet land of Burma,
no one laughs and no one thinks out loud.
In the quiet land of Burma,
you can hear it in the silence of the crowd

In the Quiet Land, no one can say
when the soldiers are coming
to carry them away.
The Chinese want a road; the French want the oil;
the Thais take the timber; and SLORC * takes the spoils...

In the Quiet Land....
In the Quiet Land, no one can hear
what is silenced by murder
and covered up with fear.
But, despite what is forced, freedom's a sound
that liars can't fake and no shouting can drown.

* State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) now renamed the State Peace And Development Council, or the COUNCIL OF DEVILS to use a much more appropriate name.

Devil Than Shwe

The Devils of Burma are led by Than Shwe, military dictator and head of the ruling junta in Burma (Myanmar), he is a secretive vindictive monster.

He shows no qualms about having dissidents, journalists, and even Buddhist monks were beaten, jailed, tortured, or executed.

He is very superstitious, in 2005 he moved the national capital essentially overnight, on the advice of an astrologer.

The multi-medalled-megalomaniac Than Shwe, where did he get all those medals?
He has never fought in any war!

He has absolute power, but Than Shwe is so reclusive that most of the Burmese people have never even heard his voice.

Smuggled video footage (see below) of the sumptuously vulgar wedding thrown for his daughter sparked outrage across the country, as it provided a glimpse of the lifestyle of the very rich at the expense of the majority in Burma who are totally oppressed and remain very poor.

SAY NO TO THAN SHWE & HIS EVIL JUNTA

Necesse est multos timeat quem multi timent


He must fear many, whom many fear
