〔a contribution〕Padauk

Padauk,
a flower of joy
a flower of bliss
the flower in girls’ hair
the around their necks
caressing her black hair
her mother puts flowers in her hair
smiling from his eyes
her father hangs flowers round her necks
Padauk; yellow flower of joy
small petals; flower of bliss
Have the Padauk bloomed? Not yet?
and from the blue skies,
you can hear the voice of Khin Myo Chit

7-year-old Khin Myo Chit shot dead by Myanmar National Armed Forces-March 23rd2021.
Nearly 1,000 workers,students and civilians have already been killed by the state security forces, including a Mya Thwe Thwe Khine,19-year-old woman.
And still, the conflict continues.

We must stand, with our proletarian fury,against.
Myanmar’s military leadership, the Chinese and Russian powers that support them, the advanced G7 imperialism nations and capitalist pawers that have fattened up the military corporations, and give ambiguous statements at UN Security Council.

The Padauk flower is to the people of Myanmar, haw the Sakura is to the Japanese.
