The Sri Lankan Story

( I have edited the ending. Those who had read this before please overlook to the last part)

War and hatred have ruined it's land,

blood has stained it's soil too long...

23 years...

of unending warfare....

The land conflict between Tamils and Sinhaleses.

Buddha taught the world of Ahimsa ( non-injury )....

but what else an ill fate can fall upon a land,

( A pro-war monk struggling against the official)

( Fight between a pro -war monk, and anti-war monk)

where the very Buddhist monks preach war!

It's another Palestinian story,

Only that it's lesser known in Malaysia....

(among the non- Indians)

The Tamils were made refugees on their own land...

And people who tried to protect them were labeled as terrorists..

( LTTE - the Guardians of the Sri Lankan Tamils)

There were times of hope,

Chances for discussions to bring an end,

(former president Ranil Wickramasinnghe in a peace talk)

but all were loosen,

hopeless as the Sinhalese urged the war....

It seems the world

has yet to see another Hitler

filled by racial hatred and extreme steoreotype...

but only this time much cleverer

in hiding and falsifying the dreadful war..

(The current president Rajabhakse)

War without witnesses....,

A mass genocide conducted by the government

on it's own people...!

( slaughtered like animals)

(even foetus is not an exception)

the world wide protests

from Australia to Canada.....

world's countries condemns....

all have fallen into deaf ears.

Nothing has stopped these atrocities...

and the world greatest racial cleansing

after Hitler's time is still continuining....

history tells and proves...

every suppression and oppression

resulted in further boom.....

because every actions

do not tell its effects...

and

the endings have often been far greater

than imagined or sometime unimaginable....

They must remember....

for they could only wound

the bodies...

destroy their home and land...

and claim their's own

but not the

souls.... the spirits...

of the people ruined and betrayed....

the Sun had witnessed the truth for so long...

the soil had beared every massacres unconditionally,

the wind had carried the dust since beginning,

the water had stained by the dirts for ages...

who might know

that the same damages and defects

could be undone to Sri Lanka

by the nature's disastrous forces

in future...

but for now

we ,the international community..

must come forward...

it's time..

there was never a rule..

that the suffering of Palestine could only be understood

by another Moslem.

there was never a formulae

that the cry for humanity in Sri Lanka

could only be answered by another Tamil...

but also...

another Malayali, Tulu, Telugu, Kanada, Oriya, Hindi, Marathi, Punjab, Rajasthani ...

another Chinese, Malay, Bumiputras or any other nations...

for what's going on in Sri Lanka

it's not the problem of the Tamils only..

but a crisis faced by humanity....

There must be a global understanding ...

that'll never conditioned by

human created borders of

caste,race,religion and language...

( an interview of Brian Seneviratna - cousin of the former

President of Sri Lanka who admits the racial disrimination -

a humanitarian)

Holding hands together,

under the flag of humanity..

let's cry for righteousness

echoing in every corners.
