Hello Lord! Are you listening? Will you take over now?

Sri Lankan Tamils and Palestinian
Population couldn’t have a torch
To pass through their dark passages of history
They had their leaders, to show light
And eventually deliver, but
Destiny did not favor them
Neighbors were indifferent and inimical,
The super power too didn’t bother.
Will Lord take over now?


In these adverse conditions,
How the innocent people will
Wade through
Real impossibilities and
Recurrent Resistances.
Is there any one in the cosmos
Having an altruistic attitude
To restore dignity on Tamil population there
There and other ethnic minorities elsewhere
Suffering silently all over the globe
And suffocating themselves to death
Hello Lord? Are you listening?

All these unfortunate people
Had a purpose and Focus
Patience, perseverance and endurance
But all these faithful warriors,
Couldn’t take things to a logical
Destination a welcome liberation.
Stupidity and self aggrandizement
At top? Lack of Diplomacy
And warfare, and not understanding
The ground level reality
All finer elements of politics,
Ever changing International Politics-
All the designs, all the passions,
Fashioned out in minute details,
To attain the higher ideal
Apparently impossible, in a realistic time frame
More particularly in the geo political setting,
But yet visible in distant future,
Have all faded and vanished into
Thin air, once and for all.
That Dreamland is now barren like a graveyard
Sick with Dead bodies and souls
Countless in number
An abandoned land like no other.
What’s the use of the so called
Interconnectedness, computer driven,
Networked, information efficient
Globalised and globalizing world?
Regardless of the word
Being flat or otherwise,
The fate of the marginalized and
Displaced by ethnic strife,
Will be at the feet of the crooked
And wicked, ruling in the name of
Manufactured democracy or Military Dictatorship.
