A Typical Day in the Life of People in Myanmar (under Terrorist Siege)<\/h3>\n

This evening we had this\u00a0 \u201cguest list\u201d check (by the regime)
\nThey typically take away the overnight guest (s), whether you report to the regime or not,
\n(as it is required of all households).
\nYou are punished either way.
\nThe regime kills everyday.
\nEveryone lives with greatest of anxieties and fear.
\nMoney is not THE issue:\u00a0 those who have more share with those in need.
\nWe all share communally.
\nDaily kills by the regime take a huge toll on us.
\nWe all stare at the calendar anticipating the day we may all be delivered from this fear-stricken existence.
\nWe pray for everyone who dares to join the protest movement.
\nBut the news of their murder hits home hard, leaving no appetite for meals.
\nOne\u2019s mind can\u2019t help but wonder\u00a0\u201cwhen is my turn?\u201d
\nEveryday being alive is full of meaning and everyday feels like a life time now.
\nOur lives are like in a living hell.
\nEven death is not peaceful as the regime harvest organs of our deads.
\nThose in diaspora tell us \u201cto hang in there.\u201d
\nWell, we typically grit our teeth
\nbut it is as though we were readying for our turns (to be murdered).
\nOne Day in Myanmar now feels like a whole lifetime.<\/p>\n
