Full Free Lives

In a country at war with its own people
How do people live full free lives?
A war that is buried out of the headlines
Because the war has been destroying 
Country and people for more than sixty years
Free full lives
The goal of an aid agency
Will it ever become the goal
Of the ruling class?

Burma (Someday)

To a land of mystery and beauty
One, two, three travel with me

Travel on the elephant amazing to see
Through the jungles, ride with me

Soldiers to avoid--military tyranny--
On the way to the village and tea with me

Elephant, python, tiger, monkey
Amazing creatures to see with me

Lotus flowers gathered to be
Woven into silk to be worn by me

Mountain hilltribes and lowland farmers be
The people of the country at peace with me
