They stood alone as everything around them was reduced to
ashes and later on became dust, that was cleansed with the blood of fellow
humans.
All they fought for was respect, to be treated equally.
Every voice raised in this endeavor was silenced
permanently by death.
The only voice that remains is that of others who witnessed
it from afar.
Of what avail is this
fight for equality?,
When one whole race of
humanity is reduced to indignity, In this war of profanity.
Can people witness
this with integrity?
Aren’t we a
responsible community?
Can’t we fight for
Tamil Eelam’s immunity, as we too belong to the universe of humanity?
As we enjoyed every moment of this life, they toiled away in
hideous hell while alive,
Looked down upon every second of their life,
Third rate citizens for most part of life while alive,
Never loved by their nation of domination.
Killed by their fight for equality and crucified by inequality.
They now walk alone, for the people who fought by their side,
have been buried on either side.
They grieved in silence and were aggrieved in violence,
Compelled to adopt
tolerance and praying for majority’s cognizance.
They must have felt like Negros among whites in the era of
colonization by the Britons. Enslaved by the fear of bloodshed, Shackled by the
crushing majority and silenced by the murderous government. Will they ever be
free to be common among the majority of commoners?. Is it wrong to revolt?
Separation of a state, is it too big an ask for a bunch of
slaves to the oppressing majority?
Not represented in a parliament of dictators and represented
by the dead revolters, silenced by death. For whose freedom just a miniscule
minority is still voicing its support, by withdrawing its support at the centre
(Tamilnadu). Though the agenda is politically driven, the opposition and the
ruling party in that state have come together in support of the minority. While
India still laments the loss of Bofors Scandalous hero, Rajiv Gandhi through its
party Congress and denies to support the Lankan Tamils, whose representatives
bombed a scandalous man. Is it right to hold a grudge against humanity?, served
in the past by the extremists who’ve been completely eradicated ever since from
the face of this earth. When the one hurt and the hurter have paid the price by
death, Is it still necessary to hold the past against people currently
representing innocence and fighting for equality?
Acceptance of the current situation;
Knowing not what future holds for them, this darkness eluded
them to eternity. As their path of enlightenment is marred by bloodshed.
They’ve realized that their quest for light shall end in their coffins and
politicians shall read their eulogy with fake tears as life beyond death nears.
As at every sight of light, they
witnessed fight and were confined to walk alone in the night, as darkness was
their safest bet to venture out in search of light.
