The Akha:
We
Are Akha
|
We Are Akha
Akha Nation
We Carry Our Law
Ah Poeuh Law Taw Urh
We Care For Our Parents
Ah Poeuh Ah Peeh
We Sing Our Songs
We Dance For Our Festivals
We Care For Our Fields
Yoh Loh Yoh Soh Ah Mah
Which Bring Us Rice, Good Fat Rice
We Care For The Forest
Which Brings Us Food And Medicine And Clean Water To Drink
We Do Our Ceremonies And Recitals
To Remember
We Raise Good Children
But We Are Poor
The White And Chinese Missionaries
They Are Racist Against Us
They Have Much Money
They Speak Lies Against Our Culture
They Dishonor Our Parents
They Dishonor And Ridicule Our Knowledge
Heart Book
They Forbid All Of Who We Are
Who Gave Them Right To Be Master Over Us?
What Are These Missionaries Really Doing In Thailand?
They Destroy The Beautiful Cultures Of Thailand!
They Live Rich Off Us
They Ask For Money From Us
Safe In Their Big Houses
Safe From Hard Sweating Labor
Coming From Rich Countries
Where The People Don't Know What They Do Still!
While They Lie Against Us
And Build Big Expensive Churches
While We Have Few Human Rights
And Nearly Starve
And Loose Our Land
And Die Of Illness
They Gloat Over Our Poverty
They Want Us To All Be Consumers And Forget The Land
They Take Our Children
And Teach Them Against Us
Against Our Parents
More Than 57 Generations To Sooh Meeh Oh
They Steal Our Souls
And Forbid Our Names
As They Have Done To So Many Tribal People
All Over The World
As The Missing Children Of Aboriginies Of Australia
As The Missing Children Of American And Canadian Indians
These Children Know Not Their Parents
Or Who They Are
Or From Where They Come
We Do Not Want To Be Lost Like Them
The Missionaries Are Friends To All That Is Our Enemy
The Missionaries Forbid Us To Follow
Our Law
Ah Poeuh Law Urh
The Missionaries Destroy Us
They Destroy Us Now Taking Over One Village By One Village
Forever Destroyed
Ah Poeuh Ah Peeh
Forgotten!
Yoh Loh Yoh Soh Ah Mah
Forgotten!
Forbidden!
They Burn Our Gates!
They Burn Our Swings!
They Burn Poeuh Law!
They Forbid Our Festivals!
They Forbid Our Songs!
They Forbid Our Dances!
They Forbid Our Ceremonies And Festivals!
They Say We Are All Evil Darkness Sheeh Booh Leh Mah
The Missionaries Stealing Our Souls And Our Children
Destroy Us And What It Means To Be Akha
They Say God Told Them To Do That!
They Are Liars!
They Take Us Over
They Are Not Akha
They Pay Akha To Help Destroy Us
They Build Big Churches In Our Villages To Rule Over Us
While We Starve
Later After They Have Destroyed All Of Us
Taken Every Village
Built Every Church
Taught Us To Hate Who We Are
Taught Us That We Can Not Be Akha
Forbidden Us To Name Our Children In The Akha Way
Then Will They Say They Are Sorry In 100 Years?
Like They Do Now In America?
MISSIONARIES
PLEASE REFUSE THEM!
We Must Work The Fields
We Are Akha
Akha Nation
Gooh Lah Huuh Mah!
