First Annniversary Of Independence Day by Saya Zaw Gyi

 Sad,
 Sad  are my   thoughts  to __ day ;
 Sad  to   think
 That  for country's  sake
 Blood  and tears  must satin
 The  annals  of man's  Struggle
 His  freedom  to attain.

 I   ponder      and  ponder ;
 I   ponder  to _day
 On    the  unequal  heaping
 Of    favours   here,  contumelies   there ;
 The  starving  and  the    over-fed ,
 Will  polity  ever  solve  this   tangle
 Life's   store   hath   stored  ?

These  lines   this   poets  indites ,
This  poet  indites  to -day
In   homage   to  those
Whose   blood   and   tears ,
Whose  struggles   bestow
E'en unto  this  obscure  nook
Freedom's  radiance ,  by  which
A  poet's  pen  scratches   a  poet's  book .
