siam-i-am Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Did a visa run to Burma last week and this came to mind, it's by George Orwell he wrote it at least 90 years ago. Some things never change. WHEN I was young and had no sensIn far-off Mandalay I lost my heart to a Burmese girl As lovely as the day. Her skin was gold, her hair was jet, Her teeth were ivory; I said, “for twenty silver pieces, Maiden, sleep with me”. She looked at me, so pure, so sad, The loveliest thing alive, And in her lisping, virgin voice, Stood out for twenty-five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
