Quotes about lanka, page 3
The political Jack fruit tree and the hypocrite Bats
The tree laden with ripen fruits
And the Bats hang on the solid branches.
The poor folk sing the usual song;
'If it's given free then why should we hesitate to accept even the influenza.'
[ General election is coming closer in Sri Lanka, nowadays you could see on the stages how they sing nicely.Cricketers, Actors and Actresses etc., dream of their future minister posts while the Boss plays the violin.]

Christopher Columbus
If I was born on the twelfth day of October,
On which day in 1492 Columbus discovered America,
But I was born on the day 19th of April,1951 in a general hospital of Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Somehow I discovered the pinching sorrow in a nightmare
Where the childish man who struggles eternally?
* I dedicate this scribbling to my deceased pet dog. [Marco my precious son] His yelp taught me lot of things about the mysterious life.

Nothing to Write Today
I struggled to scribble something
But ideas run away,
Anyway I would like to write few lines
That I found in my old notebook.
' I was born on the nineteenth of April,1951
Somewhere in a rural hospital in Sri Lanka
And my parents were given me a name to identify.
Where were they now?
I hear their voices in a distant calling my name
And they are searching me in my native island.
But I am far away and here I am anonymous.

Made In Sri Lanka!
I promise that one day donate you everything;
Barefoot, fingers, limbs, eyes, ears, mouth, tongue
Pitutary gland, Thyroid, Prostate
Lungs, spleen, intestines and rest of all!
I give you my melting heart
And you can record that unsung song
Doctor please do not interfere with my holey pocket
And give me a solace for this severe back pain
Sorry I do not have a proper health insurance
But I have my old tattered certificate of birth
Made in Sri Lanka!

My endless journey.........
I am fed up with dreams of my future
I want reality in my life with love
Looking forward to end my troubles
But life seems to be endless journey
I want to drift through eternity
I want to see the light that brightens me
Looking forward to end my fear
But life seems to be endless journey
I want to bury my worries forever
I want to draw the power from my soul
Looking forward to end my tears
But life seems to be endless journey
Ravi Sathasivam / Sri Lanka

Homo Sapiens
Please do not make any boundaries in the sky.
let the birds fly.
please do not make any barriers in the sky
as you do to this planet earth.
let people smile
and hug each other.
do not let them cry
making wars in vain.
if you want to fight?
leave this earth
and find some other place as your wish.
please leave let others to live happily, this very short period
until they die as one nation.
Dedication as a birthday gift to the new executive president of Sri Lanka, His Excellency
Honourable Mahinda.Rajapakse.

Immolations Of Monks In Tibet
The Tibetan monks kill themselves
and their moans and groans,
fall not in the deaf-ears of the UNO.
When the Buddhists annihilated
the Tamils and Bangladeshis
in Lanka and Myanmar, it whispered
and fell back into its wonted sleep.
When America supports Israel,
the World Forum is on its toes
and pacifies the Palestinians
with a healing touch and false promises.
The UNO knows the techniques
to survive in this religion-spoilt world.
Isn't it a tough journey
to tread into the hilly-terrain of the world?

Mr.Trump here's my fading certificate of Birth!
Born April 19,1951
At a General Hospital, Colombo, Sri Lanka
Male gender, colour of skin Tan!
Under the Star of Capricorn
Named as Nimal,
Father Buddhist and Mother's baptized
But I am a free thinker
Mixed with Human Gods.
Still I believe the Buddha is the greatest poet!
According to his teachings
A Man has myriad of birth certificates
Along this endless journey,
As he's born in every country of this tiny World!
My dilemma is this why do they ignore of the Human group of blood
In this piece of ridiculous paper?

Parole
Par excellence!
The worst criminal in the world was pardoned
and he comes again into this uppish new world?
Half of his life he has spent
in the Government's boarding house.
Still in his forties but almost forgotten
how to approach a girl properly.
The hypocritical handsome politicians all over the world
search his whereabouts and offer him lot of new profitable contracts.
This illegitimate & ill-mannered person idles again at toll gates
with his new identity.
Dedication to the Norwegian peace brokers in Sri Lanka

A middle class wedding
The bride and the bridegroom exchange the rings
While an invitee comes and introduced himself as 'Muscovite.'
Then the bride's father a Middleman who's never been to a school inquired; 'A strange name.'
'Sorry, I am from Moscow.'
'Oh! That sounds good and we can do cow business.'
Then he replied angrily; ' Yes, you can import cow and export donkeys.'
* I think of damned politics in my tiny island Sri Lanka. Freedom of expression goes for a song nowadays and I heard that innocent journalists are missing again, is this the democrazy?
