The Jittery Judas' July

(Dr Maung Maung Nyo)


July is a mourning month for Myanmar

Bogyoke was brutally murdered by murderers

In the pay of pernicious politicians and planners

They smothered the bright sons of brightening Burma.


(Bogyoke and Sir Hubert Rance at the Burmese Movies Association)


19th July has been the Martyrs’ Day since my schooling

We mourned at moaning siren at ten in the morning

After reading and raving about Bogyoke and colleagues

Scale of ceremonies was just scaled down only with SPDC.


(Bogyoke at the Last Mass Meeting on the City Hall, Rangoon

with U Nu Presiding)


7th July massacre occurred soon after my graduation

I was looking after the patients in KMT confrontation

It was the frontline without any timely information

I knew about it after some time and personal communication.


(Renovated Martyr's Mausoleum for Bogyoke in Yangon)


Ferocity and use of force on 7th July is beyond comprehension

No one can justify it for gunning down the unarmed students

Unless one was obeying the order without any understanding

Even the culprit Ne Win said later it was inexcusable as repent.


(Martyrs or Best Sons of Burma Assassinated with Bogyoke)


Downpours and dreaded storms rage in this season

Floods and flies ravage the country in succession

Disease deprivation decay and depression develop

Democracy progress and peace perish as touch me not!


(Rangoon University Diamond Jubilee Celebration in 1995)


July was named after the Roman hero Julius Caesar

Who was the greatest and most well known Emperor

Won all the battles and beautiful Cleopatra

But succumbed to treachery and murder!


(Rangoon University Students Union with President U Nu

and Aung San, O Way Editor, Siting Extreme Right 1st Row)


Who would have thought Brutus would kill him?

So is the question in Bogyoke assassination!

Did U Saw alone commit the abomination?

Both British and Burmese Brutus were behind his killing.


(Nobel Laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi Laying a Wreath

for Bogyoke at the Martyrs' Mausoleum)


No wonder July is the mourning month for Myanmar

Culpable crimes have been committed in plunder!
