The Fate of Our Future
I woke up on February 1, 2021
with the news saying that the military
detained the state counselor
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi,
the president U Win
Mint and many other governments
officials and leaders of the National
League for Democracy party(N.L.D)
Why? I looked up and found out
that they did that because they thought
that N.L.D party cheated on the votes in the 2020 election
But that’s just a nonsense excuse
The whole country knows that
N.L.D won in the rightful
way. More importantly,
the whole country know what
kind of people they
are
They do not respect
people's voices and votes
At first, they cut off the internet
and wifi connection
TV channels and radio
channels went off air for hours
Then, they reconnected them
again to give
us false information
through social media
Now, they’re cutting off the
electricity in some places and
we can't use Facebook without vpn
This case reminded me of
the 8.8.8.8 which is also a
military coup in 1988
Thousands of students and
monks were killed and prisoned
whiled fighting for democracy
But this sacrifice wasn't enough
for us to get democracy
Education, business and
many other went down
during their
period of ruling
People lost their human rights and dreams
Now it's happening again
I as a citizen of Myanmar do not accept this
My family do not accept this
My friends and my relatives do not accept this
More than 80% of the
Myanmar citizens do not accept this
The people are now protesting
the military by civil disobedience
But I'm
not sure this would be enough
We can’t let this happen again
Our future
education will be ruined
just like in the past
We’ll lose our human rights if we lost
So, as a citizen of Myanmar and as a
regular 17 years old girl with
big dreams, let me ask the international countries to help us
Please let us dream
