Tarnished Memories

It’s a lot easier said than done.

The Final Stage

Written by: Nivethan Nithyananthamoorthy

In the Killing Fields

Written by: Arunan Srikanthanathan

Into the killing fields the Tamils go,
Between the landmines their toes tippy toe,
They mark the places where land mines are;
and Mahinda smiles as they go
The Jungle Fowl cries as the Tamils go,
And soon they all die as the guns are fired below.

Every one for themselves

but could not save ourselves
