Ode to Insein

Insein. Insane?
Your fighter jets keep ripping up the sky above my head!

Insein. Insane?
Your Buddhist monks start chanting chants when I am still in bed!

Insein. Insane?
Your Hindus drum and drum on drums and keep me up all night!

Insein. Insane?
To hear my students speak in class I must put up a fight!

Chin, Kachin, Karen, Kayin. Help me! Please! I'm so confused!
Reading off the list of names, I hear their "Ha Ha Ha's" and "Hoo's."

Hmmmmmm. Uh huh. I get it now. You're not the one to blame.
It's me, not you, who's losing it. Insein is just your name.
