The Orange Monks

kashkin dabruski October 2, 2007

Tags: Myanmar , monks , buddhist , Burma , revolution

They move together
Unarmed and in silence
Laid before their eyes
The apparatus and mechanics
Of regimes built on blood
On move, in thousands
For cause and principles
Lit up by this energy
They move together
They hear no noise
Nothing but those clicks
The
fingers trained to shoot
One after another they fall
In their place, steps in
The orange monks
Bearers of revolution!
