Ko Ko Phwa Lan Kye´
Dr Maung Maung Nyo
Who are you, my Man?
Having left your land
On foot by boat and air
See your roots in despair?
You did not mix with people
You did not treat them true
You lived in your own world
That’s when you’re in Burma!
You saw the Burmese brown
Like a White looking down
As born and brought up in town
You acted as elite all along.
You toiled you tried you gain
Wealth wife wisdom and fame
Still an outcast abroad
You need roots as prop.
Having left the country
Forsaken the hungry
Assailing its leaders
Blacking its teachers
Neglecting their rights
Whitewashing the Whites
Who are you in new attire?
Certainly, No one need admire!

Sad but true... people like this exists in many culture.
They stride forward for wealth and fame... but have forgotten to look back and lend a helping hand to fellow mates.
It's all about being human that makes us better than those who have lost their souls to worldly gains.
Dear Alvin,
Thank you very much for your wise comment.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Maung Maung Nyo
