"Waves of anger and fear
Circulate over the bright
And darkened lands of the earth
Obsessing our private lives;
The unmentionable odor of death
Offends the September night,”
What a powerful, meaningful,
Down to earth meaningful lines
I don’t remember the author of the quote.
The other day, and on many other
Previous days, months and years,
Huge waves of anger and fear
Have swelled in my heart,
When the other side of my life
Had been obsessed with inexplicable anger.
Sri Lankan Tamils have anger and fear
Those who are trapped inside
And also living outside.
Who’ll give them peace?
And a piece of land.
Palestinians and Tamils had their
Homeland for ages.
Where’s the justice, when wanderers, Jews,
Were given solace by super powers
By depriving of Arab’s power and place
What’s the super super power doing?
Oh! Don’t disturb Him,
He can do, only through super powers,
For He does not have any real power!
How can a huge population live
By begging for water and food
On a daily basis?
Can this great country, Bharat
Wash away its cumulative sins
For its prolonged neglect,
In failing to protect
The innocent and upright Tamils.
And facilitate the process
Towards normalcy?
Even the great Barrack Obama,
The president for change, Dharma,
And equal relationship for all,
Promise help to Cuba and Latin America
But only talks and talks about Lankan Tamils
And climate change
Like God, he too will take his own time?
Can we blame him?
Absolutely Not. Why?
After all what can they pay back to him?
Oil, support to Dollar, dethrone euro…
Nothing, absolutely nothing.
But they can give enormous good will,
An endless love, a good certificate
To the U.S, to wash away that
Country’s accumulated sins…
They are helpless and defenseless,
Voiceless and faceless,
Sleepless and stressful always,
No jobs, no trade, no agriculture
Only tears, fears, anger,
They can’t, will not and should not
Forget the humiliations heaped upon them
By the vested interests, inside and out side.
Time will heal their wounds.
