It Is a Matter of Faces
POETRY FORMAT, 25 Mar 2013
Udaya R. Tennakoon – TRANSCEND Media Service
It is useless to pour water
To a downward pot
Though it is necessarily critical
In a drought of thirst
Person in pretence of sleep
It is difficult to wake up
Though it is necessarily critical
In a moment of danger
Adorable words accent and gestures
For the means of democracy
It is a witch of crazy
Though it is necessarily critical
In a state of power egoism
Forging smirking before the people
To conciliate hearts for votes and power
It is matter of fact today
Though it is necessarily critical
In a reflection before the mirror
Down to earth deconstruction
To purify the heart and mind
It is a matter of duty the day
Though it is necessarily critical
In the age of e- enlightenment
