The mountains cry.

The world proclaims the climate change is the challenge to the human race in the 21st century, and people are moving forward to save the climate. However, the climate change topic is completely disregarded by the Burmese government as the country sides denuded of all virgin forests, gold, jade, and rubies etc., leaving the areas without any clean up and contaminating rivers. Oil and gas are other issues. Mountains and wild animals are crying out loud while water is turning into brownish. We already start seeing natural disasters resulting in flooding in Yangon. The government has no preparation for the natural disaster response. While the poor seem to be locked into perennial poverty still the government spends money on the development of nuclear weapons, a new capitol, and enlarged army. The gap between rich and poor is increasingly wide-- like heaven and earth. Very few people in power and their friends are building up millions while, the social services for the larger population are ignored. There is no guaranteed future for new generation or rest for our parents in their old age. Do the UN and the world need more investigation on human rights abuses? Can’t you see? This is extremely frustrating….. so frustrating.
