18 I Need You To Listen

Listen...

Take a moment,

Stand in my shoe

It will become clear

You will understand

It isn’t really such a tall demand

This is not a competition

You are not required to agree

Your consent is not necessary

You simply need to represent the person you say you are to me

My Companion,

My Lover,

My Friend,

My Confidant,

The one to...

Listen.

32 Too Much Of A Good Thing

"Too much of a good thing is good for nothing”

Sometimes

Choice

IS

The problem

 

 

Questions that boggles the mind:

1. When one is presented with many choices how does one choose to get a favourable outcome?
2. Once one has chosen, can one live with the choices ones made?
3. How does one make the right choice in the right time, for the right reason and circumstance?

The Dilemma:

 

Each choice brings with it a consequence one will be left to live with, experience as a result of choosing.

 

*Sigh*  blessed as we are with the power of choice “sometimes, choice is the problem.”

42 Somedays & Other days

Some days, I feel like I should say so much
Some days, I say too much
Some days, I don’t say enough
Other days, when nothing encroaches my spirit and zilch unencumbers me,
I am free.
I breathe a breath that fills me with glory
That lightens my soul and everything’s coming up roses
The world is filled with diamonds and pearls
Laughter soars up and through me tickling my toes and ruffling the hair on my head
And joy explodes lighting me from within
Eliminating the need to rant
To shout at struggles that at times froths like acid searing my lungs and throat
To screech at pains slices through my body privileged and without my consent
Demanding that I fold, surrender to its pressured cruelty
On these days
I am able to magnanimously glide by
Smiling triumphantly at the trials attempting to keep me on bended knee

20 All Because I’m a Thamil by Balini (Guest Post)

ODE TO MY PEOPLE

All because I’m Thamil

I was tortured, raped, beaten, spat on,

Locked up, starved and left naked,
They destroyed my physical identity,
Cursed, belittled and wounded my pride,
All because I’m a Thamil.

My land and cattle were confiscated,

My house was robbed and ransacked.
They fought like vultures for the spoils
Burnt dear and precious souvenirs
All because I’m a Thamil.

My forefathers taught me, never to give up

Ones own mind and spirit, the invincible weapons.
Filled with valour and fortitude.
Manifests and dares the enemy
All because I’m a Thamil

You snatched the unborn infant and at the mother’s breast

You maimed and disfigured the children of my heritage,
You trapped the youth and burned them alive,
No court, no hearing, no mercy, for my people
All because we are Thamil

You acted beastly and cowardly, soaking your hands in the innocent blood,

You rejoiced in our pain and wail, victorious in mutilating our beloved
The bloody sacrifice will be paid by your children and children’s children
The wound will never heal and the loss is never forgotten nor forgiven
All because we are Thamil.

My people were recently fighting at the UN assembly and had won a mandate for the post war rehabilitation work to be completed by our government and for the investigation on Human rights atrocities carried out by the government during the war in 2009 and thereafter. This is a huge victory for people like me and several who had been tortured all because we are Thamils. These tortures had been conducted by each Srilankan government when they were in power from the year 1958 till now.
