Land of Finesses
Saw Yan Naung Jun 2016
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

— The End —
