Aggravated with every tick and tock of the clock…

Aggravated with every tick and tock of the clock...

blood just keeps dripping
solutions outnumbered
by problems masked in shame
innocense held hostage
while the culprits roam free once they’ve escaped



Art is powerful. It is heART.

Art is powerful. It is heART.

Art is powerful. It tells stories in way that other mediums cannot. It’s so expressive, touching and beautiful. This story is about a 17-year who uses art as a tool, art as a weapon to promote positive messages. I don’t know her, but she inspired me. I hope she inspires you as well. We have many talented artists within our Tamil-Canadian community, and just imagine the work that could arise if they dug deep into their hearts and let their emotions spill onto a canvas. There is an upcoming Art Exhibition, Witness, and I look forward to this exhibition for that very reason, because art is powerful. It can move people, it speaks what we cannot say in words.



DEAR, THAMIZHAN…DO YOU REMEMBER?

DEAR, THAMIZHAN...DO YOU REMEMBER?

Remember.
The bitter cold nights, frost bites
throats drained out,we still fight
strangled voices, strained through night
to demand mankind for human rights
Remember.



Eaten By Nightmares. Someday, We’ll Sleep

Eaten By Nightmares. Someday, We'll Sleep

crave to enslave this bitter decaying memory
to the will power of My ‘heart’
to shred it to tiny pieces too small for the eye to see
but blindly resting my hand on it, it slits nd pricks
I beg my mother to open her eyes to me
lend me a lap to cry in, a shoulder to lean on



Ignorance

Ignorance

we reveal the truth
and you ignore it
its all up in your face
but you choose not to see it
pluck your eyes out of their sockets
for you dont deserve to see the world’s colours
you walk blinded in blankness
oh the luxury of ignorance



P L A C E.

P L A C E.

I waited and waited,
For the one I thought who was.
The reason for my living
Who loved and treated.

Crippled by the vein,
Shattered by the kind
Who vanished from a place
That was once called mine.



Her voice was not silent

Her voice was not silent

Her voice was not silent… it pierced viciously through thick clouds..
it met with my ears in the darkest nights and brightest days..
it struck my heart and echoed through my mind..
miles away from her suffering and missery..i try to relate..

His Response to The King

She has always had those long luscious lashes
With a blink of an eye, hurricanes does she scrounger
Crimson seeps into her high cheek bones
A twinkle in her eyes that outshine the stars
She never did play with barbies though..



The Time To Act Has Come…

The Time To Act Has Come...

They picked up their guns and weapons, because during that time that is all that they had….

Now we are picking up pens and pencils, because that is what we have… They give their lives for this mission…



Never Shall I Forget – Elie Wiesel

Never Shall I Forget - Elie Wiesel

This is one of my favourite poems, it’s written by Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Elie Wiesel. I just read it this morning again, and it just hit me that history repeats itself, over, and over. While he was referring to Germany when writing this, the words are applicable to many countries of where genocide has and continues to happen.
