Coup(unseen)

Coup(unseen)

There was a coup unseen
In beautiful Myanmar
Democracy ruined by a junta
Coup de tat sounds kinda nice
Till the bullet tears an innocent
Soul open

Happened two years ago
But the world hasn’t noticed
Too busy with invasions and
covid and disinformation

Half a world away
On the other side
What we don’t see
We don’t seem to feel

They are wanting the same things
We’re really not that different
Not the same customs or culture
But deep inside crack us open
And look inside peel back the
Layers of time and see we’re
More alike than some would admit

A baby faced factory worker
Turned to resistance
Diplomat hasn’t seen his family
For years and years
Then there’s the beauty queen
Who fled to the maple leaf

Teacher in exile
All he wants to do is teach
Teach the children
About a coup de tat

There was a coup unseen
In beautiful Myanmar
Coup de tat is so obscene
