The Hatred In The Light Of Civilization

Civilization is a Symbol of good Nation, 

What the beauty prevails of multi-ethnic fashion; 

My country by born Myanmar that need to reunion 

Hatred is not a good passion. 

Civilization from cradle taught me to be gentle, 

And a good Citizen after all; 

Thus my blood corpuscles in the vessels! 

Simmering & murmuring begging to you all. 

To leave the hatred between, 

Let us be civilized citizens the world to win! 

As equal rights was there I’ve seen, 

No minority or majority it means. 

We lagged beyond & locked in deadly, 

I found no countrymen to oppose hatred sadly; 

Hatred results in bloodshed and arson ultimately, 

But civilization I believe in tolerance certainly. 

Hatred is more dangerous than a fire, 

Thought it has no attire; 

Do we feel any when we meet a pyre? 

Yes, we do as we care & share to admire. 

Could hatred go not against our will, 

If we could change the desire of the Devil; 

I surely believe in peace for the next April, 

And wish to last until January a peace deal! 

In ‘Rakhine’ & ‘Rohingya’ I found five Similarities! 

From where remixed we could start for a community, 

Let us build a Nation with full of peace and prosperity, 

No looking at the past when we had enmity.

Author's Note:

This poem was aimed to bring a cessation of communal hatred & violence against Rohingya, & again peace, prosperity with communal harmony between Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims of Arakan, Myanmar through full recognition of Rohingyas’ citizenship right by Naypyitaw & Rakhine state government as well.
