RIGHTEOUS

DAW AUNG SAN SUU KYI


by Charles Frederickson


Nobel laureate esteemed Angel of Mercy
Lifting golden torch gracious Lady Liberty
Buddhist lotus position restoring Burmese legacy
Wretched refuse yearning to breathe free

Concerned global family must condemn travesty
Just cause release demanding unconditional guarantee
Farcical trial unquestionably crime against humanity
Democratically elected PM overdue recognition key
