To two great war heroes

Not so long ago
You BOTH created history,
Fighting together
To free our nation
From a terrorist’s greedy grasp.
You brought victory and freedom
To our Motherland.
Together with our brave forces
You stood united and strong against the world.
You made us proud to be Sri Lankan.
Yet, today you have let
Flags of hatred and vengeance
Fly again in our country
In a game called politics.
What on earth is happening
Between the two people
We admired
As our war heroes
Not so very long ago?

Punyakante Wijenaike, Colombo
