Tibetan Poems in English

Since 1959....

 

                                                            Dorjee Gyaltsen.

 

What have we been since 1959?

Remembrance of the year 1959

It's not simply to be kept in our mind,

That which has kept us as a refugee since 1959.

 

The martyrs, brothers and sister of ours,

Were they dying for their own sake since 1959?

Thousands of orphans coming across Himalaya

With the truth in their eyes to plead to the world since 1959.

 

Have we ever asked our self who is his holiness?

Did we reincarnate him to serve us like a servant?

Because even in his 70's he gets no time to rest,

For the sake of his masters, we greedy Tibetans.

 

He extends every possible help to us since 1959

With the huge expectation of finding our own path.

But, we seems satisfied with being recipients

In the name of ''Refugee'' as we have done since 1959.

 

Realizing the mistakes we have committed since 1959,

Even his trusted seeds of ours future are now in the street of foreign countries.

Leaving his every dream in complete since 1959

My country man! Have we ever truly committed to his teaching since 1959?

 

His dreams are not just for himself since 1959

But for me, you and for our country.

Would it be right to let him work all day long?

Even in his 70's he gets not time to rest.

My country men and women,

Aren't we satisfied with his life long gift since 1959???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                       

                        TIBET...?

                                                  [     Kalsang  Gyatso..

 

TIBET...

Once a free and happy land,

The direful effects of red communist

It is no longer as it is!

Industries and buildings are highly decorated.

Saying that this is the image of new Tibet!

But, human rights and freedom were rotten,

under the baked rumors of Chinese govt.

My country served whole days for red communist,

without a rupee reward.

They murder, rape, demolish but still they propagate,

TIBET is safe....

But in reality TIBET IS DYING.....!!

Culture, religion are a sole identity for the birth of nation,

In Tibet china pressurized for the elimination of these concepts.               

 

 

Exile,  Dalai Lama...

 

We live and survived under the guidance of Dalai Lama

and, unwavering support of INDIAN Govt.

Still, I can no longer stand.

My soul is vexed within me so,

to think that I am refugee, a slave.

Genuine autonomy is the truth we hold.

But still they accused of Independence we fight for.

We never expect for territory only,

We expect love and peace for our souls too.

O!  Chen ra siz,* will you not pity us.

You had strived day and night for the happiness of ours.

Still we lacked determination to follow you.

Tears roll down from my cheeks,

blood remains cold in my veins,

when I saw you doing so much for us.

But still in my hand I only owe long white kathak*

To say thank you for your lifelong sacrifice for our nation....

 

 

 

 

 

 

VOICE OF FREEDOM

 

                                                Tenzin Dakpa

 

 

Thunder and lightning were flashing in air.

Bullet and Blood were no less than Rain.

Land of Peace turnout into pieces.

When Dragon entered in the land of snow.

 

                         With the power of weapon and arms.

                        Land of snow became land of sorrow.

                        Land of Lamas became land of lamp less.

                        Land of Roof became land of roofless.

 

The dragon entered like a robber.

Mercilessly killed thousands of my country mates.

The Chinese transfer into Tibet and marginalization of Tibetan people.

No Freedom to preservation of Tibetan identity, culture, religious and so on.

 

                        Now the spot light is on you dragon.

                        It is time to take great leap forward to negotiate.

                        Honestly and sincerely with the Dalai Lama for just,

                        Honorable and harmonious resolution to the Tibet situation.

 

Freedom and culture preservation is basic right of one country.

So I appeal to the people of the world.

Have an eagle eye on the Tibet situation.

Support not for the Tibet cause but for the truth and justices.
