Re Borne on Letpadaung Hill
99 monks sitting steadfast in circles,
One heart beating true for land-loving peoples,
Channeling the power of powerlessness,
Flutt’ring on butterfly-wings of compassion,
Chanting peace sutras under fire-bombs flying,
Tossed like sticks amist storms of secret suff’ring,
Flames and flesh, blood and water, inter-mingling,
Just! – As an all-mighty oceans’ ceaseless roar! –
Can such devotion ever be defeated?
