Vision by Feraya
A country of great beauty
People so gentle and kind
There is also ugliness
And cruelty
Fleeing and hiding
And foraging for food
To survive
Our people are in pain
Suffering like no hell on earth
Darkness and despair
Surround them
And freedom is out of reach
Beaten and battered by life
Death and diseases
Of the mind and spirit
Swallowed up by gloominess
And bitterness
How can they carry on?
Each of us has a role to play
To help our countrymen
Not by hatred and blame
Not by giving false hope
Or ideas
Or concepts
But to see the big vision
A vision that’s not small or limited
A vision that’s vast and spacious
So that Burma’s people may rise up
Like a beautiful lotus
From a muddy pond.

apartheid and in 1994 became the first black president of South Africa, forming a multiethnic
