Railroad friendship

 

 

It has been a long over due

Since Adolf Hitler's admiration

Strategically encroached the entire world

Financially through the pearl of the Indian ocean

British played a cunning game

Divide and conquer for their gain

Besides their geography

Split North and South in enormous pain

Manipulate beings with confusion

Maintain their cozy lifestyle

Researched differences rooted, replanted

Victimized us all without bail

Redeem life after Independence

Could resolve diluted in belief

Restoration of normal life

Dew drops from a Bodhi leaf

Struggles that we have been through

Ignited an inter-cultural unrest

Democratically find a solution

Depressed and gone lost!

Civil war and upraising came across

Citizens of pearl of the Indian Ocean

Violence and brutality either side

Clearly doesn't make any notion

As always we evolved with our culture

Should be aware of our nature

After all, bear with the loss and time

Atrocities caused by torture

Wow, what a wonderful world!

The pearl is only 25,000 square miles

So called super power nations

Falling under with fake smiles

Rail road being under construction

Link from North to South by land

India and China quit rivalry

Generously working hand to hand

China is on the left side

India engineering on the right

Job well done and return from North

Which side they pick for another fight?

  Anand Prasad நன்றி.....Ponniah Karunaharamoorthy 5,000 சதுர மைல்களை அடிளென்றெழுதிவிட்டேன்
  தவறை சுட்டிக்காட்டியமைக்கு நன்றி.
  இருப்பினும் சுருங்கித்தானே போய்க்கொண்டிருக்கிறோம்?

  Tam Sivathasan Another good one from Poet Prasad
  Squealing on Colonial Old Railroad
  Blame-it-on-others is the most troublesome
  We need to own up fair part of the shame!

  Anand Prasad Thank you Tam Sivathasan
  " We" means who played the part of the shame?
  Travel through by train it's always my dream
  What is happening in my land, that is what I blame
  Who are these people to intrude...that's why I scream
