Once she was put under house arrest <br />like a caged bird, her clipped wing could not flap. <br />But song of freedom she sang <br />Song of democracy she sang. <br />Song of truth she sang. <br />Song of courage she sang. <br />Song of melancholy she never sang. <br />Now she is a free flying bird. <br />Her feet she can set <br />any time, anywhere on this planet, <br />as a welcoming guest. <br />Song of freedom, truth, courage and democracy <br />she still sings fearlessly, loudly and proudly <br />so that she can bring to Burma prosperity.<br /><br />U Win Kyi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/burma-iconic-lady-aung-san-suu-kyi-the-caged-bird/
