Tell me before you kill me

Tell me before you kill me


Pardon me
If not so
Kill me


Majority of the majority
May be against me
Minority of the minority,
A few of may be
Agree with me


The moment I heard the news
Murder of southern beloved revolutionary
And terrorist at the time
I forever love
I was shocked and wept
Hiding tears of rain of November “89”


At the moment,
Majority of southern
Celebrating the so called victory
And cooking and eating milk rice of
Murder of Tamil leader
And terrorist to most
I was too shocked and felt a deep pain
In my heart that circulate red blood
On the date of 19th May


Please tell me dear comrades
What is the error in my mind?
Before you kill me.

Sinhala Tiger returns home

Disappeared man
Returned home
From Prison
Hey! Come and see!


Branding a nick name


For the shake of
How do you do
Whispering to each other
Spread the gossip


Now be watchful
Places where he goes and turns up
To be confirmed


Previously
He was
Inevitable friend and comrade
Now
Who he is


Give up and get relieved of
All connections and relationships
Disconnect numbers
Beware of danger
And his sight


Disappeared man
Released from prison and from law
But convicted by society
And so called media
Still he is a terrorist
With an indelible brand to the identity

Refugee Moon

You like me
Who haven't a way to go,
And to stay.


I have seen you
In my home country
Even before sun set
Hiding and peeping
Watching out to encage
Into the darkness.


But I couldn’t identify
You are as a refugee.


At the terrible time
Escaping from my death
During the swash buckling things
Happening in white nights
I turned up to
City Kathmandu of Himalaya valley.


Getting a cheapest room
In a top of a dirty and dusty old building
Suffered from the fever of loneliness.


I opened the window
To hear of the out side sound
As I was being at my home.


I was a surprise
You was here
Rambling behind a cloud
Like me as a refugee
The moon
I never identified before.


Without specific place and space
Universal camp of the out sided world
Giving light to the dark
Temptations like me
