Boom, boom, boom!
Hear the deadly cacophony
of guns, bombs n tanks
blasting over our heads
No power to yell n defend
whilst buried in bunkers
bodies and hearts explode!
Shedding flesh n blood is a sport
of the privileged worldly gods
killing all not make them guilt
free to make more bombs n guns
making them richer and stronger
both with money n control
Lies everywhere n all the time
Truth untold, manufactured or silenced
Hundreds n thousands of us all
cannot see the light of truth
humanity cries to millions of deaf ears
In bunkers the days are gloomy
rolling into nights that are even darker
Minds turn out to be battle fronts
fighting the demons of conflict n warfare
to give up … for the horror to reign
as all are born … doomed to die alone
Break the silence, turn on the light
for us to move about and fight
with each passing day and night!
For better or worse, tear the wars away
snatch the weapons of truth and justice
to spread them … and roam … around with pride
Don’t let them drown our souls
even if we have to leave all behind!
Humanity … has to wake up once more
with life, love, freedom n happiness
creating our own futures and prospects
with all our joyous hearts n souls!

French President Emmanuel Macron now saying Israel to stop killing Gaza’s women and babies.
This like pinching baby & rocking cradle.

“The war crimes in Palestine are undeniable. Palestine is the test of our collective humanity. Unfortunately, the world is gradually losing its moral compass. Humanity should prevail in these dark times.”

Civil wars of any kind do not occur for lack of proper logic behind them. There is no smoke without fire. What we are experiencing in today’s life is how much discrimination is happening to the minorities in Palestine and Sri Lanka.
Palestine or LTTE that is the same. Even when attacked, they are constantly faced with long-term unsustainable conditions. It is beyond all ethics and morals if it focuses on Palestinians. I have being working with some Palestinians but they live in Europe. So, I feel what they feel.
Therefore, I do not think that any government should be biased in supporting any party. There is no clear line of demarcation between terrorist attack and self-defending mechanisms against discrimination.
All this being considered, I do not think it is our duty to support Jews of Israel-Palestine. These is based on myths as is also the case in Sri Lanka Sinhala-politics. As a nation embroiled in a thirty-year civil war, we must act impartially, acknowledging the “boundless thoughts of the late Mrs. Bandaranaike”.

Yes,
We forget the days, weeks, months and years of
Guns, Artileries, Bombers,Shells, Tankers, Helicopeters, Bunkers, No electricity, No soaps, No fertilizers, no food, no medicines, no kerosene, no petrol, no disel.
This is the life of a Tamil in the North and East.
Now we don’t hear them but digging the soil to find the losts-no handed over brothers and sisters.
Now Buddha wants to cover up the soil and blood to cover of the bodies.
