In Honour Of Maveerar Day
Usha S Sri-Skanda-Rajah
Today in honour of Maveerar Day I wish to publish two of my poems composed in 2006 and 2010. A lot has happened since then, we are on the road to winning justice for our people and through remedial justice winning Tamil Eelam. I am certain of that. My poems precede time but are still very relevant, for we cannot forget the past. It is from acknowledging and learning from the past that we can move forward. I also hasten to say that today Our Beloved Maveerar would want us to continue the fight to win back our motherland in a non-violent manner through diplomacy. That is what the TGTE is committed to – the peaceful diplomatic approach. Nonetheless I have the highest respect for all those great human beings and our leader and all who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives to save our country Tamil Eelam.
Today also could be a day to reach out to the Sinhalese people…for greater understanding between our nations sharing the island…
1. Maveerar – composed in Nov 2006
2. To the International Community – The 2009 Tamil Holocaust and Your Lost Credibility – composed in Oct 2010
Maveerar
They went to the battle field
Never afraid to die
Brave soldiers they were
They did it for you and I
The glory of Thamil Eelam
Was their single, unwavering goal
Defending their Motherland
Was in their very soul
Possessed of both integrity and discipline
Absolute mastery of skill and mind
Trained by a Phenomenal, True Leader
A superior class of Freedom Fighters, they are a rare find Read More
