We connect

What is that makes us close to one another
as we go through life
how do we see eye to eye with one another
and gain trust?
we connect.

It does matter

I opened up the letter, few weeks later
It said fetus at 5 weeks gestation
My thoughts no longer mattered
I’ve become immune to the tears

We’ve already lost everything that we know

Written by: Ashley P.

We’ve already lost everything that we know, society’s made it its job to do so;
Every time people fight for change, society puts us in chains,
We’re tied up and called inhumane.

நான் ஓர் ஈழத்தாயின் வயிற்றில் பிறந்தவள்
நான் கேட்பது என் மக்களின் அலறல் சத்தம்
நான் பார்ப்பது என் நாட்டிற்காக நடக்கும் மான யுத்தம்
நான் விரும்புவது தமிழீழம் எம் தாய்நாடாக மட்டும் இருக்கவேண்டும் என்று
நான் ஓர் ஈழத்தாயின் வயிற்றில் பிறந்தவள்

Almost as though time just raises more questions than answers
But that wasn’t supposed to happen
Was it not supposed to be the other way around?
