II.                  The literary piece (poem)

This Earth, This Man

Maung Htwe Sung

Not far from the green dense forest

By the side of a stream running full

There is a field, large and wide.

At the first light of the day

A burly yet handsome farmer

Full of vigor and confidence

Is ploughing his field.

Day after day in his field

With his oxen he works

With ardent zeal and without feeling tired

And finding joy in his work

Broad is his muscles are strong

Elastic and firm

His so pleasant to see

In a field of emerald green

The handsome body of this well-built man

Steadfastly staying with his ground

This farmer tries to work hard

With his oxen who are his friends

In the hope of doing good for his country

He is a real son of his land

His ploughed furrows are the furrows of his country

Each drop of his sweat is gem of his land

His strength is his country’s strength

                                                                                       Never sky-gazing

Never cane worn and executing indifference

This farmer is a true son of his soil

His attention strays not

From the plot of land new works

This soil is his universe

This soil is his Nirvana

This field is his life

A piece of this soil is his heart

With his sweat

He cleared this field

With his blood

He defended his field

From age to age

Holding arms relentlessly

He has fought for his field
