Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka

Bloodspill covered floor

Barefoot souls smeared in panic

Death splashed upon a

Riven wall

In abstraction

Lifeless art coldly created

Over exposed

Despoiled by an act

Of hate scoured

In historical bigotry

Hopeful hallelujahs sing

In silence

Fearful of retribution

Knee jerk responders

Birth no solution

Resurrection

Is more than a belief

In magic

Fable or fiction

An idea

Transcendent

It is a willingness

To conceive

A generation of infinite

Possibility

Heedless of failure to thrive

The good will survive

Needless sacrifice

Bring down my walls

If you must

No stone is ever

Left unturned

In the quest to

Bring out the best

Implicit

In the true meaning

Of a human

Being comprised

Of mind, body and spirit.
