     Poem     


                                      Safeguard Our Independence

                              * Under colonialist
                                Mire we went, in enslavement
                                We stayed thus, over a hundred years
                                Land of Myanmar, was so bereft
                                Few was the number of bridges
                                Communication was difficult
