This study analyzes three poems written by Aung San Suu Kyi entitled: In the Quiet Land, Free Bird towards a Free Burma, and Why Do I Have to Fight? They reflect the real story which was experienced by Aung San Suu Kyi in 1988- 1992. In her poems, Aung San Suu Kyi tells the democratic turbulence happened in Myanmar. Hence, the discussion in this study focuses on Aung San Suu Kyi’s views of democracy. There are two problems formulated in this study: (1) What are Aung San Suu Kyi’s views of democracy as reflected in her poems: In the Quiet Land, Free Bird towards a Free Burma, and Why Do I Have to Fight? and (2) How are intrinsic elements used to obtain Aung San Suu Kyi’s views of democracy in her poems: In the Quiet Land, Free Bird towards a Free Burma, and Why Do I Have to Fight? In order to solve two problems above, this study uses library research. There are two kinds of sources in this study. Those are primary and secondary sources.

The secondary sources are taken from related books, journals, internet, and movie. This study employs sociological approach and formalist approach. Those approaches help the writer analyze social and political content of the literary works. Theory of democracy is also used to support the analysis in this study. The result of the analysis process shows that Aung San Suu Kyi has four views of democracy.
