Well I certainly would like to know. It’s disturbing and even though the heavy artillery is miles away it’s as if its echoes are found everywhere. So they say it’s nearly come to an end. 26 or so years of waging war; a war that’s lost its cause now. What once was fought for the freedom of oppressed people has turned into a massacre of the very people they wished to protect- human shields, that’s what they are now.
Reports are distorted, it would be human err to embrace the news flying around- just for some peace of mind I don’t see why I should deceive myself. Just a few thoughts though, its strange how most of us came to despise the president who in just two years has ended this meaningless fighting- all enmity is forgotten and for once Sri Lanka is united…while it is a great feat, while we will finally have some peace, (and by we I don’t mean those who live in the shade of Colombo, almost free from any worrying- I mean everyone, all the Sri Lankan’s alike, no matter what their race. But will this peace be peaceful? This war has scarred the current and the coming generation alike…where will this lead us? What peace of mind, what semblance of a normal life can those people expect after all of this?), and perhaps what I am to say here will mark me as unpatriotic but I still think we should not readily forget the presidents loony mannerism. Frankly, the victory scares me as much as loosing…so much the power he will have over us, something which can easily be manipulate…perhaps its my overactive imagination but I cant seem to hang these suspicions…hmmm…
The international community calls for ceasefire. Its annoying actually- do look at it from our view point, this war will finally end, but admittedly at what cost? Ironically victory is for he who has the highest pile of bodies…what kind of victory is that? Perhaps morality shouldn’t be mixed with war, but we wage war with humans so I don’t see why we should leave it out. Numbers, numbers, numbers. It’s all mere numbers to some people. A statistic for to elevate the height of the throne…
So the international community wishes to intervene and even “punish” Sri Lanka for war crimes- but pray tell me who committed these crimes? After that question is answered you can of course take the necessary action but bumping your pot bellies against walls in your blindness won’t help here. Also ironically what of the war crimes Israel commits? The crimes America commits? All of this goes unchecked! Look closer to home boys and do get your facts right!
It’s almost over however, civilians are pouring into the safety zones and my fingers are crossed and my heart is with them…May the spirits watch over you and let’s hope the casualties cease their doleful cry to reach higher.
This chapter is almost closed, but what will happen after this? Would it be too much to ask for those who have been calling for ceasefire to help the country restore its peace- for the war may end but an internal war will wage within everyone, especially those who have just escaped the clutches of the devil. A ceasefire will help us little, but instead if you would focus your attention on restoring the livelihoods of these people, giving assistance with medical care and psychological treatment? Help us build our nation once more instead of prolonging the suffering?
As for Prabakaran, may the deuce take him! Hope you’re suffering in your hell hole down there and your air conditioner breaks down. With Sol shining the way it does in these parts it won’t be any surprise if we find you cooked in your little hidey-hole-spidey-hole! May you suffer evermore.
