The Final Stage

Written by: Nivethan Nithyananthamoorthy

The final stage was in Mullivaikal
Shooting, slaughters and bomb shells
Atrocity at a whole new level
You wouldn’t believe that this wasn’t hell

Since 1983
Tamils wanted to be free
From the Sri Lankan government
Who have been such an impediment

From Toronto, Paris, New York, Heathrow
We were shouting “stop killing our innocent people”
Mothers, children, babies, and elderly
They were killing Tamils federally

Why won’t the world recognize
The government has done many war crimes
We have seen it with our own eyes
No one would listen to us-we were worse than mimes

40 000 civilians killed
Sri Lankans Parliament members’ stomachs filled

They shot innocent men
Stripped them nude
Put families in concentration camps
Didn’t give them food

The war isn’t over
Tamils will come for more
In the future
You will hear us ROAR!
