<\/a><\/p>\nYou may no longer find Kipling’s ‘flying fishes’
\nBut there are generals still lying<\/p>\n
And monks frying the “roaches”
\nIn the midst of these sitting ducks
\nAmidst “Kalar-haters” and ethnic cleansers<\/p>\n
Waiting until the next terror has struck<\/p>\n
Let me tell ya<\/p>\n
We are<\/i> a nation of nationalist “Buddhists”.<\/p>\n
Don’t ever forget<\/p>\n
Gotama and Asoka were greatest Buddhist “nationalists”.<\/p>\n
We now have our Hpone Hpon<\/i>\u00a0(the Ven.) “bin Laden”<\/a> He is our national hero in place of your ‘fallen (liberal) idol’<\/a><\/p>\n Mighty is he, commanding 3,000-strong Buddhist monastery<\/p>\n amongst the Order of 500,000.<\/p>\n Hear our Osama out:<\/p>\n “Honestly, I felt I wanted to fight weapons with weapons. I am a Burmese bin Laden<\/a>“.<\/p>\n Metta for “Mus”??? \u00a0 You must be kidding!<\/p>\n “Yes,\u00a0Wirathu is our learned Brother”, so I have been told by a ‘socially engaged monk’.<\/p>\n Our Myanmar’s Osama, A peaceful son of Gotama the Enlightened<\/p>\n The Reverend ain’t “the Face of Buddhist Terror”. He ain’t scared of you “lying journalists”!<\/p>\n Serene is his looks, soft-spoken is he, and mild are his manners the peace of the wolf guarding the faith against the “Mus”!<\/p>\n “Brother, No peace for ‘Mus’!”<\/p>\n The kind our Our patron-generals<\/p>\n With the Kachins, the Karens, the Shan, the Mon and all the rest. We are indeed a peace-loving nation Committing pogroms of ‘mad dogs’, the ‘Mus’<\/p>\n left, right and center.<\/p>\n Make no mistake. \u00a0We are under attack, Brother.<\/p>\n Even our Right Honorable Dissident Brother Win Tin<\/a> agrees:<\/p>\n “… international community is siding with the Muslims (in Myanmar)”.<\/p>\n Our business-friendly version of peace, the peace industry seeks.<\/p>\n And smart Oslo sees the price of Myanmar peace.<\/p>\n Yes, peace be with\u00a0Telenor<\/a>,\u00a0Statoil, Coke and Unilever.<\/p>\n Brothers from Oslo and London, stand up and identify your bids!<\/p>\n Don’t forget the oil – and Interfaith, as the Rt Honourable Blair<\/a>\u00a0might have told our leaders.<\/p>\n Peace be upon you too, Brother Tony.<\/p>\n But, Mr Tutu<\/a>, you are wasting your time – and our meditation hours!<\/p>\n Preaching peace to us on the apartheid, and the pogroms of the “Mus” and the Bangali “roaches”.<\/p>\n Ah, “Mus”, what do they know about peace? We have another 500,000 of our patron-brothers And Naypyidaw says, “2-child Eugenic” for the “Bangali” roaches!<\/p>\n Even our human rights defenders<\/a> would shout,<\/p>\n “National Security” First, “Human Rights” last!<\/i><\/p>\n “No ‘Mus’ No pogroms”, <\/i>we all say in unison.<\/p>\n Our reverend monks say, Sadu\/Thadu, sadu\/Thadu, Sadu\/Thadu<\/p>\n (or a good-deed has been done. ‘Well-done! Well-done! Well-done!)<\/p>\n You see, there we are with our un-broken bond We are racists! \u00a0And proud of it!<\/p>\n United we are Sisters, we have an additional Sixth Precept:<\/p>\n Thou shall not fuck any Muslim males.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Not legally. Yes, our “Buddhist” nation, right or wrong.<\/p>\n Our pro-peace President<\/a>, right or wrong<\/p>\n Our Rakhine brothers, Nazi or not.<\/p>\n No matter that we are a nation And a Rohingya semi-starvation<\/p>\n A “Buddhist” ‘frontier market’<\/p>\n Where our grassroots hopeis being arrested We say, in our “frontier Ah-wee-zi” You may rejoice, or not Yes, Lord is always on our side!<\/p>\n We sure can count on the members Yes, the “silence of our Myanmar Lambs”<\/p>\n Where art thou –<\/p>\n Bama artists, painters, cartoonists, writers, journalists, poets, inside and in diaspora ??<\/p>\n Our society of racist Buddhists<\/a> With her mantra of Rule, Rule, (racist) “Rule of Law”<\/p>\n “Buddhist” Racism<\/a>? We ain’t scared of ICC, We ain’t concerned about your TIME<\/a>.<\/p>\n Minds Hollywood’s Lady is the nation’s Mummy, We call it ‘discipline flourishing democracy’<\/p>\n They project it as Myanmar’s “Half-baked” Democracy<\/a><\/p>\n But who cares, really?<\/p>\n We are <\/i>Buddhists.<\/p>\n All things pass.<\/p>\n Nothing is permanent<\/p>\n That is,except your corporate interests!<\/p>\n So Madam Albright<\/a>, give me your Coke, or give me Death!<\/p>\n We are a Buddhist people ‘who have never had a sip’. Yes, we want Coke, lots and lots of it. Why wait for the elusive peace!<\/p>\n Come, Come, come to our A-wee-zi.<\/p>\n Sell your Coke and drill our oil. This is our A-awee-zi<\/p>\n Our Myanmar is a state in A-wee-zi<\/p>\n Our country is a state of A-wee-zi Ah, but “there ain’t no space in A-wee-zi”. Certainly nor for the “Mus” nor for the Bangali “roaches”<\/p>\n This is our Golden “Buddhist” Land<\/p>\n And ours and ours only Peace be upon you, Brother.<\/p>\n _________________________________<\/p>\n Dr. Maung Zarni is a <\/em>member of the TRANSCEND Network for Peace, Development and Environment<\/i>, founder and director of the Free Burma Coalition (1995-2004), and a visiting fellow (2011-13) at the Civil Society and Human Security Research Unit, Department of International Development, London School of Economics.

\nWith his shaven head and serene looks<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nForemost bin Laden, a son of “Buddhist” Laden<\/p>\n
\nHow dare that Hannah ‘Bitch’ calls him ‘terrorist’<\/p>\n
\nPreaching “Buddhist” peace<\/p>\n
\nWolves’ peace with the sheep<\/p>\n
\nWe even named our old capital “End of Strife”, or Yangon
\nMaking peace-deals<\/a><\/p>\n
\nPeace is for Pacification!<\/i><\/p>\n
\nIn our patriotic Armed Forces who shout:
\nNo Buddhist Metta for the ‘Mus’!”\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
\nOur Myanmar “Buddhist” bond of shared
\nignorance, bigotry, and national “Buddhist” delusions<\/p>\n
\nIn the Bama “Buddhist” delusions
\nIn defense of our “Buddhist” nation
\nProtecting forever our ‘not-so-intelligent’ women<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nCertainly not while we are alive.<\/p>\n
\nOn the verge of Slavic-like self-destruction<\/p>\n
\nby civil society pimps and the likes<\/p>\n
\n“Hell with universal “Human Rights””
\nNo Compassion for (Muslim) “dogs”<\/p>\n
\nGotama Buddha is always on our side!<\/p>\n
\nof our bigoted-enough intelligentsia<\/p>\n
\nCookie-cutter pimpish presidential pragmatists<\/a>
\nIn the shadow of iconic Peace’Nobelist’
\nWorking with President “Nobel Peace short-list”<\/p>\n
\nNo such thing here, Sister.
\nOnly peaceful Buddhists, defending our faith<\/p>\n
\npoisoned by 50 years of the murderous Ar-nar-yoo mya (the crazed power-mongers)
\nmis-led by the noble dissidents
\nscrewed by outside corporate interests
\nill-served by the Orwellian media hype<\/a>:<\/p>\n
\nRegime trickery is reforms,
\nNational Destruction is Sequential Democratization.
\nDespair is Hope.
\nBusiness Deal is peace.
\nPogroms are good for development!<\/p>\n
\nIt would really be a bliss!<\/p>\n
\nAh, Mr Solheim<\/a>, don’t forget Oslo’s\u00a0Statoil<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nTill the end of our genocidal coast line.<\/p>\n
\nWe are following our Myanmar way to A-wee-zi<\/p>\n
\nNot for the sane
\nNot for the truthful
\nNot for the compassionate<\/p>\n
\nOf Crooks, Cons, Cronies and Criminals
\nCamouflaged as philanthropists, pragmatists, peace-makers, patriotic pimps.<\/p>\n
