Tell me my friends,
If there is sanity left with you;
When a country because it is big
Violates the air space of a country small
And drops parippu* on it from air, * a food item: dhal or lentils
Pretending to be of assistance to an immigrant community there,
When there really was no such need;
(The real need, geographical expansion cleverly concealed),
What use is sovereignty there?
Tel me my friend,
Using the sanity to pause and think;
When a nation because it is BIG
Dictates terms on small neighbouring nation;
And if those small nations unite to retaliate,
Assisting minorities WITHIN THAT BIG COUNTRY ITSELF,
Displaying tit for tat,
Helping finally
Those minorities form different nations
Within itself;
By doing which, that country will no longer be big!
So that, it becomes peaceful?
In short;
A „Peace-loving Democrat‟ in modern world
Is modern alright, but has nothing of civilized!
Ignoring objections,
He shows his stories to allies ready to believe,
But passive, because less weaponry powers they have.
Explains he to them, „See, they have done these and these;
Evil are they this much, so they deserve punishments!‟;
Though he believes his allies are devoted to his concerns,
None of them is; it is on his dollars all focus!
He knows it well,
Key to justice and fairplay finally can be his will,
At gunpoint; as it ought to be so his allies agreed;
And institutions international always ready behind,
Wagging their tails whenever they hear his command.

However,
Upon his leaving,
Another of his kind began to do same
When in Sinhale
Such entrance,
To assist people as declared,
To save the country
From a cruel Macbeth‟s tyranny
Though such assistance,
Was not the need of its citizen.
Democracy preserving!
Now they intervene like with this Lady * Nadhan , * [in 2013]
She is the Supreme Schemer for Rights Human
One of whom, who thinks she has a right
To be concerned with Human Rights
Of immigrants there, ignoring,
Natives that inhabited the nation,

Today,
It is missiles, atom bombs and napalms,
In areas chosen, with support of thuppahis local.
Manipulating evil, among minorities;
At them throwing dollars and pounds;
Sending armies
Destroying countries of oil to pieces
While expressing humane sentiments.
Pretending to uphold
Peace, democracy, freedom of expression;
As if it is God who command them
To inculcate them in man;
It is „he‟ whom He has chosen.
True,
Needleless to delve in to this history,
It is continuation of their genetic urge
That makes us worry
Where do thats leads
If this is how things happen?
With no order in presence of this „Democrat Modern‟!
