It‘s fitting Easter/Passover
Should summon legends of rebirth,
As both the Testaments aver
That it and flight from Egypt’s earth
Saved Jews and Christians. Would both are
For twenty years, Aung San Suu Kyi,
Nobel Peace Prize recipient,
Was under house arrest. Now free,
She’s in the Burmese parliament.
A former general, U Thein Sein,
New president, shows milder reign.
A stationary exodus,
And oxymoron it is not,
Indeed a road to genius,
A passage from despotic rot.
Such resurrection of the soul
Could make Islamic Syria whole.
