day he walked out, the day she
last saw him and the exact moment
she heard his voice on the phone assuring her
all was well. And then
no more.
What happened? What went wrong?
She would never know. There was no
one left to respond, and those that were there
didn't dare speak up as the reasons for
what took place didn't make sense
so they kept quiet and hoped in time
she would understand.
Conflict raged in the tiny island nation of Sri Lanka for close to three decades. People from all walks of life, ethnic, religious and age groups suffered. The Tamil terrorists disrupted life and property all over the country for three decades, while for a few years in the late 1980s a Marxist guerilla group caused chaos, but this was soon wiped out. The Tamil terrorists however took much longer. These poems are a reflection of the time. They take on voices of people from across the divide and speak of the incredible loss the people all suffered.
