Sri Lanka Crisis- Give It Back To Them - Their Peace And Their Joie De Vivre. Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

Sri Lanka in turmoil
Sri Lanka in chaos;
Sri Lanka in commotion
Sri Lanka in demotion;
Sri Lanka facing economic crisis
Sri Lanka facing fuel shortage;
Sri Lanka has no tourists
Sri Lanka has no peace nor patience;
Sri Lanka facing food shortage
Sri Lanka facing money shortage;
Sri Lanka the hub of nature
Sri Lanka the nest of friendliness;
Sri Lanka facing inflation
Sri Lanka facing deterioration;
Sri Lanka needs restoration of peace
Sri Lanka needs money to re-structure their economy;
Sri Lanka needs money to import milk and cooking gas
Sri Lanka needs gasoline;
Sri Lanka needs food and fuel rapidly
Sri Lanka needs a helping hand;
Sri Lankans need a good government
Sri Lankans need revival of their vibrancy;
Sri Lankans atop the Presidential Palace
Sri Lankans atop the Prime Minister's Residence;
Sri Lankans facing teargas and water cannons
Sri Lankans facing gunshots and loss of lives;
Sri Lankans looking for a change
Sri Lankans looking for survival and revival of their exuberance;
Sri Lankans need their life to be secure
Sri Lankans need assurance of a stable future;
Sri Lanka a home of families
Sri Lanka an island of tranquility
Give it back to them - their peace and their joie de vivre.
