My Sri Lankan Sweet Pea

It’s now crystal clear… I need not be told
I am falling for a Sri Lankan sweet pea. I can’t hold
My feelings… she’s a darling dame, a beauty to behold
She’s got a guy, but to me she’s more than gains and gold

How I wish I could live forever in her singing sky,
Her rhymes and rhapsodies ring… giving me wings to fly
I have promised my self that I will not love for now… it turned a lie
My heart is hot for a buddy I have not seen… I need an eagle’s eye

I have never seen, held or used a Sri Lankan rupee
But I am dying for this colorful… cute Asian sweet pea
I’m caged in thy colorful cell oh Crystal… you’ve got the key
Give me thy love, life and all; please do this to set me free

I Love My Country Sri Lanka

I love my country Sri Lanka....... 

On top of the mountain, God sits on Adam's peak
Throwing his heavenly blessings to our nation
Blessed our country known to the
world as the Garden of Eden.
When our mountains are covered with beautiful flora
When the fauna walk freely in our jungles
When our valleys are flowing with water from heaven
When our ocean is picturesque blue
When the nature hugs our nation
Blessed our country known to the
world as the paradise on earth
When our people show their love and faith
When our people are gentle and kind
Blessed our country known to the
world for her hospitality.
Surrounded by all of these blessings
God wants us to love one another
and live happily together surrounded by faith and trust.
Let us obey his words and build our country
as a beautiful Sri Lanka

Premium Member Ode To the Palmyrah Palm

O dear palmyrah,
Native of my mother land,
Known as Katpaha Viruksha,
Celestial tree of my birth place
 
Highly respected in northern Sri Lanka,
Your majestic height makes you,
Tall among the palms, able to
Withstand drought and grow strong!
 
Throughout the year,
You make us happy with your produce.
Thus, you boost our economy,
And support both land and community.
 
Edible fruit, fresh juice, fermented drinks,
Syrup, Jaggery, tender fruit nungu and
Boiled tubers are a few of your gifts
To the community of your chosen land.
 
Well thatched roofs made with your leaves
Beautify the village cottages.
They also help to erect boundary walls
To safeguard property.
 
Manuscripts are wonderful books.
Salute to palmyrah leaves for
Preserving and restoring the writings
Of great people from ancient times.
 
Your planks are used to build houses,
Household furniture and utensils.
Every part of you is useful
Great is your service to humanity.
 
You are the only palm tree
That helps people the whole year through!
Your products are innumerable,
You serve the poor and the rich!
 
How nice it would be,
If man gave his best to others,
And expected nothing in return
Like you, dear Palmyrah!

So many CHRISTIANS died inhumanely.
In innocence in churches or having Easter lunches.
God, welcomed so many home in an instant.

360 died in one day.
345  Christians are killed each month, but that's a deep secret and who cares?why don't we know?

In 2018, the number of the dead Christians is staggering
Add to this 66.000 unborn in  the USA alone. Add the world abortion number, it's more than tragic.
So let's not moan about peace,there will not
be any..We support the work of Satan.
He must be doing his happy dance!

The media ignored the Sri Lanka story.
But drooled over Notre Dame.
Those snakes ~ refuse to mention that channels name.

"Eastern worshipers"what baloney!  
You know the two who said that
American leaders choke on the word Christian.

Hello these leaders with zero integitey
Pose Christians but they worship other gods,

In the USA Christians have a death warrant! 
They are considered crazy and evil.
Easter was a PAGAN goddess. Those that
perished were followers of the  Risen
Christ.

By the way, our said leaders have no fear
of bowing to and honoring Muslims?
Summarized best in the USA Congress
"Something happened to someone"
Horrible statement about 9/11!
She must have cheered over Sri Lanka!

The USA, en route to hell? I hope not.
Do not be fearful of being a Christian
or a Jew! Just be careful the words,
meshugana leaders tell us, those liars!
Disgustingly farcical liars

Sir Aurobindo - National Internationalism

I
At home with Shankara & Ramanuja
As with Spinoza, Kant, and Buber
Seventy years on earth, to 1950, heir
To Thought of East, West, 'Father Nature'
Fought for Independent India, from 'Raj'
Taught we must do spiritual evolution
Community and nation are a good start
But dissolve they must, peace past nationalism
Separation is overcome by One Identity

Sri Aurobindo could use Brahman, Lila, and Supermind as with Heraclitus' Logos, and yet see "solidarity ... and mutability" as the great future, based on individual consciousness that evolves with supramental download s

Premium Member Sri Lanka Blasts

Catholic churches were attacked in Sri Lanka
Many of our brothers and sisters were massacred 
By 
Fanaticism and ignorance
In 
The name of their God
But
When would we understand that there is only one God,
And that is the God of love,
That we all are his children,
All embraced by Him the same,
None being loved less than the other,
None being put higher or lower than the other?

Those who committed this abominable crime,
Thinking they will be rewarded with a place in paradise,
They soon will find out that their miserable souls
Will be condemned to eternal damnation
For committing: 
Patricide, 
Matricide and 
Fratricide!

* CNN: Sri Lanka blasts. At least 327 dead and more than 500 injured 
in multiple church and hotel explosions. 

R.I.P. our beloved parents, children, brothers and sisters.

Happy To Live In Sri Lanka

Previously happy to live in Sri Lanka,
Doing well as mover of tanker,
Even as Sri Lankan roads got busier
And traffic of the rush hours not easier…

Then, he was fatter and franker
But living far political demand;
Also, after Riches did he hanker
But more after a chance to command…

So, he had to bounce back to Nigeria 
But in her politics at the rear:
Always colliding with hateful ridicule, 
A bit invisible like molecule!

He needed not have left Sri Lanka
Where joy had been a sure banker… 
It’s been a Joyless Lip-Biting Ben
Often recreating Sri Lanka of then.

Sri Lankan Elephants

Sri Lankan Elephants are listed as, endangered
and are the largest and darkest, of the Asian elephants
Herds have nursing units, with lactating females and young
and they have juvenile units, containing females and juveniles

Sri Lankan Elephants, are been pushed into smaller areas
because of deforestation, that disturbs their migrating routes
Human-elephant conflicts, results in human and elephant deaths 
because the humans need of greed, is only for human grassroots

Happy Place

Sri Lanka is
His happy place
And he
Loves Colombo,
It’s great
To be back.

Jet Lag

The post-trip recovery 
From Sri Lanka situation,
The jet lag situation,
Is not
What it 
Once was
Because his body
Is not
What it
Once was.

Jeans of Sri Lanka

There’s a pair
Of jeans
That he can’t
Bring himself
To wash
Because the jeans
Still smell
Like Sri Lanka,
The sand
And the ocean,
The blood
And the sweat
And the tears,
The beauty
Of it all.

Sri Lanka World Up

The World machinery is stopped 
To restart waiting for a long gap
Where to start where to go on map?
This poem comes from Lankans hill top
Adam came from Heaven,World to start up

Sri Krishna Jananam

Sri Krishna Jananam

 

It was a dreadful night of tears

amidst He came as a child

in a desolate prison

with a promise to protect the good

and demolish the evil

 

Devaki’s sacred womb

Carried this invaluable gem,

The doors of the prison stood wide open

A divine light was there to guide

Vasudev, the frightened father,

To carry him across a rising river

 

Lord, over ages you have ferried countless

across the river of life, and lo!

the lean Vasudev carried you across Yamuna!

What a devotion…

 

A new sun, the Lord, rose in Gokulam

to fill the waiting hands of Yashoda,

A celebration of rare motherhood,

Not hitherto heard of before…

 

Yasodha, the divine mother, clasped Him

She clasped Him with tears, tears of joy

that was held up in her eyes for countless lives!

Krishna cried too to inform His arrival

The whole world has been blessed…
