Swel Daw

Ideas from Tekkatho Moe War, Maung Sein Win (Padeegone), U Nyunt Htay

You were the victim of a superstitious power monger
willing to crush “Pretenders to the Throne”
animate and inanimate.

Without a just and fair trial,|
you were condemned to death.

When one Swel Daw Bin was axed
Two magically reappeared

When two Swel Daw Bins were hacked
Four appeared to baffle the tormentors

With each atrocious act
Swel Daw Bins rebounded and redoubled

The ADHAMMA authorities persisted
and ruthlessly rooted all Swel Daw Bins
from the Land of the Bearers/Defenders of Dhamma

Why? Why? Why?

Swel Daws do not have destructive power
or desire to exploit
They do not have Lobha (Greed), Dosa (Anger), and Moha (Delusion)
They simply display pristine, beauty and elegance

They embody the principles of trust, integrity,
and unity of
mentors and mentees
students, teachers, and Loke Tha’s

They provide shade, calm and tranquillity
to those seeking rest & peace of mind

With the dawning of the Pwint Linn Era
Fifty majestic Swel Daw Bins bloom gallantly
along side the famed Shwe YaDu Lann
with pleasing Shwe YaDu Benches

There have been tears of sorrow
when Swel Daws were banished from the Land

Now there are tears of joy
with many artifacts bearing your name
