Sitting on the throne
Having the crown
Dwindles the brain
Having power Crane
Grave words
Sharpen swords
No many roads
Nowhere Gods
You are the man
We people won
Take your gun
Fire on ! We don’t run
You told, you are my men
We told, you are our king
We are the men of that nation
Under your feet as a sin
Heart and mind were ravaged
Wealth and land were grabbed
Tax and the rest we granted
Kingdom you have painted
Earth and sky are heaven
Kith and kin are fine
Cloak of face is shine
Doesn’t matter beggars no coin

Rubbish. Democracy is here alive and well. Otherwise how come, the arch opposition to MR, proxy LTTE, the TNA got over 80% in NP in spite of the alleged army interferences? TNA won because it presented jingoistic policies and a demagogic clique as candidates that 80% people there want. // You can write your ode. But that truth shown in elections at NP must be applied to the entire country as well AND in toto. // Sinhala Buddhist people in villages are the majority in this country by far. They look far beyond nepotism. They want peace and stability and improved life. MR provides that in abundance. So, get it right, like the people in the NP, Sinhala villagers keep voting MR for he gives them exactly what they want. // I am not saying appointing wrong people to high position is right. But did not American people’s President John F Kennedy had appointed his brother as the Attorney General. Was Bobby the most suitable for the job? And that’s only one example.

TNA won because GOSL could not effectively prevent people from freely choosing their candiates as International Monitors were watching over GOSL. –Without the International Community keeping an eye on Northern Elections, Rajapaksa regime would have either cancelled the elections or rigged it in such a manner that their stooge Douglas would have won.–The other major reason GOSL could not engage in effective suppresion of the NPC elections is because CHOGM was on the horizon.

Elected Leader ?..! Sure, by a whole bunch of idiots who still believe he’s even a leader..Many people call him a murderer, a wanted war criminal, a megalomaniac, a despot, a dictator, a crazy nutty guy…. Grow up people, stop reading The Nation, The Daily Noise, and listening to BBS/JHU/ venomous propaganda and be a ‘frog in the well’… OMG !
