The heroine of our times

Fearless Aung San Suu Kyi
A heroine of our times
Condemned to confinement
By the Burmese Miltary junta
When her people, all acclaimed
Her as elected Head of State
To lead them as Free People
In a truly democratic state.

Time is clicking very fast
As the world finally wakes
To the evil might of men
Armed to serve the nation
But have in reality
Betrayed trust and honour

They must need be told
Yours is not to govern
But to listen and obey
Withour murmur or choice
The voice of the only one
Elected by the people
And that is San Suu Kyi
The herione of our times.
