Not so black list and black list - a poem by Zarni -

Myanmar is a mess and a hellhole/ Myanmar under generals and ex-generals/ is a complete mess and/ a hellhole for 60 million/ ... the mess is stinky/ those who lick their lips in anticipation of profiting/ from the "Myanmarese" mess are even stinkier./ the generals and the ex-generals are least interested/ in nation-building, but only in nation-pick-pocketing/ and lining their pockets./ These men had 50 years to prove themselves as worthy national leaders./ Instead they expose themselves as irredeemable failures - a nationwide mafia./ Now they want the exiles to come whitewash their leadership disasters./ Maung Zarni, posted with permission.
