Had the time flown, after Bagan was gone
Bravery in Mystery, Glory in History
Taungoo, Center of Second Empire
Which, the ******* of Emperors
Surrounded by Moats, mounted by forts
Covered with shields, scattered with fields
Divided by River Sitaung, Shed by religion in town
Buddha in the west, Jesus in the east
Land of Poets, chanted in Wats
King Natshinnaung mastered at rhymes, Wind of Hell got relaxed under his shines.
Have been here for 500 years, Get townies out of tears
Peace treaty killed fears, Peak content says cheers
This is my first poem about my home town Taungoo
