 Apex of All Hearts

In the epoch of our country Burma
We reflect and wonder
Whether there is a leader
Who really command our respect and favour.
Often this we calibrate according
To what is said, and in line with the three age-old sayings.

Should I like him?
Yes, I should with all my charm and whim.

Is he worthy of my soul and trust?
Certainly, I can bet my life and guts.

Does he deserve my respect in anyway?
Of course, I will hold him in esteem till to eternity and a day.

Alas! He, all deserving of love, trusts and respect
And certainly, the ‘apex of all hearts’ in effect,
Has descended upon into the annals of our illustrious country;
The leader with epitaph of all good precedence and in reality.

- Saw Htet

[February 1, 2002]
[Dedicated to the late General Aung San, founder of modern day Burma]
