The two allies,
Rallied around,
To wage a war
Against Sri Lanka
Neither the British
Nor the Dutch
Or the Portuguese
Another the three-
Japanese Tsunami
Indonesian waves
Indian ocean
Rallied around
To wage a war
Against Sri Lanka
The sea of silence
Turned a full of violence
Oh, the waves
Obey the laws
Oh,the ocean
Cover the nation
For the thirty years
A civil war
In thirty minutes
An evil war-
Tsunami!
A violent arm
In waves form
Not a gun,
Not a bomb,
Turned a lot of orphans
A lot of widows
A lot cry
To wet the sky
Rich and poor
Big and small
A pramid of deaths
To put on earth
Soon,
First in food
Next in wood
The need of the hour
Come,
The sons of the soil
Not to tear
Not to fear
Rally around,
Build up the will
Guide them well!
Break the divisions,
As the Berlin wall,
Build the unity,
As the Chinese wall!
The sons of the soil,
Rally around,
To turn the Sri Lanka
A heaven of the ground!
The pearl Indian Ocean,my soil,Sri Lanka a blessed with no less anything,so impressed .Flora and fauna wherever to see and smell,mountain ranges sitting like angels in the central adding beauty,the rivers turning like snakes in all directions spring from their mother mountain genes.
It rains in all monsoons sometimes fails.Here and there some reservoirs holding rain water to generate hydroelectric power.Rotating Sun all over the world in March summer marched down here in Sri Lanka burning the Lankan heads.Rain falls here in monsoons and fails sometimes even during monsoon.The Sun in thirst drinking the waters with its ray hands,holding in the reservoirs until they are running dry.Sudden power cuts imposed for want of rain to the dismay of people.
When it rains in monsoons water,water everywhere in liters everyone to drink.But in March summer not a glass to drink.Power cuts imposed hitting the pockets of masses and crunch state treasury is like insult to injury.
Failing is in human genes came from Adam in Paradise but God never fails.God gives enough water even all to swim for years.How can it happen to rain every moment everyone like? God has given the sixth sense instead to make use of it to decide what’s right and what’s wrong.Men for his foolishness fail in his decisions and pass the blame on God for no rain.If men is that wise he has to save rain water in a proper way to utilize it when there is no rain.
We have enough learned people here but these unlearned give no room for the learned knowing geography,the one much learned mathematics but the unlearned let the learned to watch their monkey dancing to the tune of ignorance.It’s like
Dogs bark not allowing cows to chew grass!
It has long ceased to rain here.
The embers of drought are fanned by the merciless
Hands of hell.
The air is stifling,
The heat insufferable.
I cringe from a long wait on a queue in the narrow
Trench at a fast-drying
Brook.
I wait from the crack of dawn to vespers time,
But not an iota of liquid
The size of miniaturised Sri Lanka in a children’s atlas,
Has creased my aching tongue.
Not one drop.
My chances are scuppered by the returning terns
Who must refuel in readiness for
Another chaotic Atlantic crossing.
A mild squall renews hopes for a pluvial onslaught,
But clouds chose not to weep.
The petulance of spring tempts our fortitude.
As the days stretch with sloth’s speed
In the face of a prickling drought,
I could only drink from an hourglass....
The jaw of Time has broken.
Waves of seas clash on each other and welter
By way of crimson froths.
Bleached by salt,
They taste like mordant fruits,
Biting and scourging my cheeks to the
Fulfilment of stalking and waiting.
There should never be any time that matters
More than any season, no matter the name of
The Calendar — Caesar or Gregory.
As I wait, I finger my hair,
Now whittled by damnation.
I dream according to my visions....
If only opportunities came as regularly as the
Milkman!
Rising sun so soft,tender
like your forehead's red bindi
splashes colour in my mind
another new dawn.

Bindi--A bindi ( Sanskrit bindu, meaning "a drop, small particle, dot"), or a pottu/bottu (in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam) is a forehead decoration worn in South Asia (particularly India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Mauritius) [1] and Southeast Asia. Traditionally it is a bright dot of red color applied in the center of the forehead close to the eyebrows, but it can also consist of a sign or piece of jewelry worn at this location.
Door arrives door disappears
Door deprives door shares
Had doors been toward one way only
Life would have lost its lustre
With one hand life provides
With the other life robs us
Life sometimes brutally divides
Some other time it is Mother Teresa
When my doors closed several times
I wept but didn’t stop reading poems
My chromosomes of hope kept me supporting
Till a shaft of sunlight brought new doors
The deep green Neem tree in my dream garden
Went into a dizzyingly birdless gloom
Leaves and flowers brutally plundered
Roots torn asunder in my room
But again one day the spring sun stopped by
Clouds called at its door with shower
In the windswept branches came contentment
Now I hug it in a happy deep breath

In the jungle's heart, where shadows and spirits blend,
A silent hunter, a forest's friend.
Stripes of amber, black and gold,
The tale of power, courage and bold.
Its eyes burn bright, flaming hue,
Reflecting the skies of cerulean blue.
Its claws are like a silver, steel sword,
As it rules the jungle as its legendary lord.
Its roar splits heaven and hell,
As earthquakes and tsunamis are caused by a shattering yell.
Hunters poach them for their magnificent, golden robes,
As its lengthy tail is like a serpent coiling the globe.
It lives among the jungles, sand, wetlands and snow,
During the dark, its orange, blazing eyes begin to glow.
Deers, birds and boars is a king's delightful feast,
As the enemy feared this bloodthirsty beast.
The speed of the beast is beyond the stars,
As its back is full of lacquer, black scars.
The beast itself ruled Lanka with Tamil kings,
The sabre-like fangs and crushing claws blings.
Oh Tiger, the guardian of the land,
Let Lord Murugan feel you with his divine hand.
Let Lakshmi shower you with wealth, fortune and prosperity,
As the beast speaks to the people in a tone of sincerity.
Sri Lanka
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

You’re making me wait
“just two more weeks,”
but already the wait’s
crossed half a year.
“A few more weeks,
no difference,”you say,
and it’s true, but you see,
in the bigger picture,
a whole generation waits.
a/n: The system of education here in Sri Lanka is far from moving on from the differences that covid brought to us. The whole economical crisis and the political unrest last year made it worse.
I am an Advanced Level student, and it is currently announced that we have to sit for the exams throughout January, whereas the my sister sat for hers in the August, as all grade thirteen students are supposed to do. Already, there are rumours that the exams will be postponed again to the end of January.
And if we are to consider ourselves in parallel to our junior grades, we in fact just started the first term of a ‘grade fourteen’ today. Lol.
Nevertheless, the biggest issue here is that at this rate, in which the delayed exam dates are only pulled forward by a week, (or even few days as it is in our case), it will take at least twenty years for the system to adopt the original calendar.
October 9 is the 283rd day this year
In history many died and she'd tears
1594 Portuguese empire defeated in Sri Lanka
Bringing an end to the campaign of danture
1604 kepplers supernova found in the milky way
Who says you need modern science today
The swedes defeated in 1708
Battle of lesnaya won by Peter the Great
At least 1000 ethnic Chinese natives killed in Batvia
1740 Dutch colonist started this massacre
1806 prussia starts war with France
Throughout the years you can see wars at a glance
In 1834 the first public railway opened in Ireland
1847 slavery abolished in Swedish colony
No more children orphaned
The people having more life quality
1900 the cook islands became a uk territory
1911 the Wuchang uprising against the Quing Dynasty
1914 The siege of of antwerp comes to an end
1918 Prince frederick Charles offered throne of Finland
The next few years see many massacres and assanations
It's as though the world was under fascination
In reality it brought loss, death and hatred
No-one realising that being alive is sacred
1980 Pope John Paul the second meets the dalai lama
Hopefully the world will become calmer
1981 capital punishment abolished in France
Finally someone taking a positive stance
But alas wars are still declared and lives lost
Decisions made by people who try to boss
The world being destroyed by the human race
Remember we are visitors and can open the case
We need to protect this planet where we reside
Think about futer generations don't hide
Stand up and be counted
Keep this planets peace firmly mounted
Finishing the game,
Starting happiness
Over,
ICC 20 overs-
Winning the purpose of game,
Putting the hands of might on the shoulders of fame
Twenty,yes,twenty-
Twenty million Sri Lankans hands played,
Twenty million Sri Lankans hands prayed,
To bring victory to all the Seven billion people
On this planet
Up and down,
Right and left,
In all the directions in air,
Fled the ball like a jet
In tired and in pain the Ball, hitting it's head on the bat
Every bit of soil of Dhaka kissed the ball,
Rolled all over it's chest,in proud
Dhaka in delight and in full of light
As the moon and stars came close to the Earth,
To witness the game
Sun found a hide out fearing the mighty Earth!
Small and beautiful, Sri Lankan Island,
But,very big it's heart,
Give me time,enough time
To portion the victory,
To every man,every woman,every boy and every girl on the Earth
Look at your right shoulder,the right foot,
Look at your left shoulder,the left foot
Of the champion,SANGAKKARA!
Hats off,Sri Lanka,
CONGRATULATIONS!
