For all the children who have never
Danced in the rain
For all the children who have never dreamed
Other than of a glorified end

For all the children who have always been afraid
Never known a life without fear and senseless shame
Children who were trained to kill
Children who were forced to hate
Children whose tears were hidden in the shadows
Children whose cries were lost in the darkness
Children who were made to bear the pain

Children who have never looked up at the moon
Without cursing the moonlight
Wounded and lost in the dark
Where can they hide from the falling rain?

Children who have fought thousand battles
Willed by meaningless words
Uttered by a ruthless coward
Children whose graves have never been counted
Hidden in the dust
Incomplete without the red garlands

For all the children stolen
Under the cold and distant skies
With the promise of a false paradise

For all the children who have never felt the magic in a fairytale
Children who were burdened with unforgivable sins
Children who have never known how wonderful it is to be free
How beautiful it is to be innocent
How life can be simple
For all the children whose loss has been the deepest
For all the children who have been forgotten
This is for you -
Freedom
Hope
Dreams
And Dignity                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     (Author: Anonymous)

Yes, for all the children whose childhood were destroyed, and all the parents whose cries were unheard for 30 long years by the international community, putting these innocents under Prabhakaran's rule forever in a separate country is the ultimate solution. Indeed.

Who is going to write some thing about Children who are being killed by Sri lankan Army? Since Hiranya is Sinhala and supports SLA she is not going to tell a single word about this.

But UN tells hundred of stories about chidren who are affected by Sri lankan governemnt. Who is going to sing a song for those poor children????

Hiranya Malwatta

You are welcome to add the 100 stories by UN here Tranroy. No issues.

Further, how can I not support SLA? (Being Sinhala has nothing to do with it. All my Muslim friends also support SLA. Even with monetary help for those who are injured in battle.) Well it is only because of them that we are able to get out of our houses without a lot of fear anymore.

Let me quote something I told you before.

@ Tranroy >
"If you think LTTE is bad then we can avoid them."

We try very hard to avoid them, but they are very persistent. If you know the trick can you tell us how?

We could not avoid them where I live (Katubedda, Moratuwa) and 28 people traveling in a bus were butchered by a Claymore bomb. It was about 400m from my house, I heard the bomb so clearly and then the screams of the people on the road. Few days later I found out that 2 people whom my friends knew, had died from the bomb.

Hiranya,

You need to stop crying "Tiger, Tiger"

People will come the first time, and see you are hiding the real issue - Tamils' oppression in Sri Lanka for last 60 years.

You cry again "Tiger, Tiger" 

People will come the first time, and see you are hiding the real issue - the Sri Lankan government(s) are performing genocide of Tamils community.

You cry again "Tiger, Tiger"

People will come and see that the Tamils Tigers are just a symptom of what has been done to Tamils and real issues are on the Sri Lankan Governments.

I don't think the international community is going to like this crying false "Tiger, Tiger" business.

Regards,

"I don't think the international community is going to like this crying false "Tiger, Tiger" business."

Definitely international community wont like it because the so called "Tigers"  - who are paid by the "diasporans " to "protect" the Sri Lankans tamils, but are hiding behind pregnant women and children to escape from the fury of SLA - will be history and fertilizer in a matter of few days. If at all couple of them are escaped, then SPCA or some other animal protection agency will declare them as endangered species.

Surely it is not good to cry "tiger, tiger" Hiranya. So bad...!

@Hiranya's better Twin (not verified) - is there any news our beloved pirathar  "William Baptist" ? I really miss him.

"I don't think there is any good will or brotherhood left between Sinhalese and Tamils. It is better to give ballot to the Tamils in a independently held referendum and let them decide their  own destiny for once in last 60 years."

Keep thinking....

So you believe so much brotherhood and goodwill left between Tamils and Sinhalese after these "sweet" 60 years, why don't the Sinhalese majority give ballots to Tamils in an independently held referendum ask what they really want ?

I would say that would be sprit of real goodwill and brotherhood, rather than being in total silence while 4000 Tamils civilians are being killed, and even the Sinhalese celebrating the deaths in the South as military victories.

No child will ever have been affected as much as they are and have been affected in Vanni during the latest bloodbath, seeing family members and other children dying in front of their eyes, losing limbs and other body parts, being left to starve. THIS is what will stick with them for life and have a deep psysological effect on them. As beautiful a poem as it is and does reflect reality, it is a little devious to pin the blame entirely on the ltte and not mention how the government/sla's actions will affect the children, but then again I guess we have different perceptions.

Eelam exists only in the mind of some tamilnadu politicians - "leedarrrrs" of some "thiravida" political parties and ofcourse in the minds of antisocial establishments like erstwhile "brigadier Veerappan".

If you ask about belief, I believe that it is ok for Sri Lankan tamils to be proud and blowchested about their history and culture and language and everything. No problem there. It is also OK if they think that the ancientness of their culture makes them superior to those who belong to other cultures. It is double also double,big, OK if they envision  that "well it would be wonderful if we have our only "kantri" like Shambhala or Utopia. It is tripple also tripple "Wokay" if everyone can marry fair skinned girls. Nada Problemo.

But it is problem when you talk to the others in the tone, their culture is inferior, our culture is superior. It is a BIG problem when you act based on the pseudo superiority you think your culture have. Some of you then create an "army and "ayar forse" and "navy"  - after listening to person  who is made out of materials  left over after the creation of Hitler and Pol Pot and Stalin and Idi Ameen  and evey mad men lived in this world -  and attack the people belong to the other culture, then the real fun starts.

Then that happens, what essencially the so called heros of your "military" doing is this -throw the lives of children and women and old in front of the advancing opposition army rather than facing them like real heros .Even if  the other army try to avoid civilian casualities, what the "heeros" do is to kill the civilians themself, take photos and then send to the "propagandaspora" to publish all over the world.

 Lanka government tried to manage this situation using the famous for techniques prescribed in ancient Indian technique - namely Sama, Dana, Bheda and Danda. Since the "thiravidans" do not believe in "Prahmins" (Brahmins)  and disown vedas written in "Chamachkritam"(Sanskrit) they don't know about these techniques. They tried to adopt only the last of the technique - the Danda (punishment).

It is not Sri Lanka government responsible for the death of small children as described in the comment of Tiana. It is "YOU", every one of the "diaspora" who support the LTTE and the "cause". The souls of the kids and the curse will definitely follow every one of the "disaporans" who remotely supported LTTE - by any means.

You are off tangent again.

If you are so sure that the Tamils in Sri Lanka would not want Tamil Eelam - a separate independent state for them to live freely with their rights, Why not prove it, to the world and the idealists Tamils like us once in for all, using an independently and freely held referendum for Tamils to decide their own fate?

That is the real question, and that is the one you would never answer but will start beating around the bush again.

israeli.agent

My question is,

Why don't diaspora moneybags, who fund LTTE , order them to disarm? Surrender, free the civilians and thus save their life?.Why are the "diasporans" who don't even live in Sri Lanka are supporting LTTE terrorists? Prove first  that you  idealists are all peace loving tamils.

25 years of killing did not  get LTTE even near to the Eezham. Now it is written on the wall that LTTE in the current form and shape is not going to achieve anything other than bloodbath. Realise this, wake up and smell coffee for the innocent lives who smell blood and fear in every second of their horrible life for the realization of your sadistic dream of Eelam.

LTTE can be eliminated forever then, right?

Why giving ballots to Tamils in an independent referendum scare you so much?

You are so scared that the world will finally hear it directly from Tamils loud and clear that they want their independent state back.

LTTE didn't jump from the sky. ItsSri Lanka that creayed them.. by supressing tamils ... and their cruel racist attitude. Even if LTTE get defeated now, there will be another group that will come to fight for the rights of tamils. Unless the aspirations and self determination of tamils are met there no end to this. Don't think by killing all tamils, no one will be left to fight for the freedom. Thats is no possible.

Your brothers and sisters are getting killed by the barbaric butchers Prabhakaran and his gang. Your refusal to accept it shows what your concerns are ! It's pathetic !

Tamiya

You got it wrong as usual Hiranya.

Tamils are getting killed by the Sri Lankan Army and the Sri Lankan Government.

Sri Lankan Army is targeting Tamils and Tamils Children to destroy Tamils in Sri Lanka.

You can try to make it LTTE is the problem all you want. Tamils will continue to voice our rights in Sri Lanka.

If you give our Tamils independent state back, we will "fight" LTTE on our own.

At the least since many many Tamils are protesting all over the world (since nobody can make noise in Sri Lanka regarding Tamils rights), the world aid organizations are asking the Sri Lankan Government to allow free media and outside aids, and many countries including US, UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, Norway, have asked to accept peace talks with LTTE, why not hold a referendum with independent foreign monitors for Tamils in Sri Lanka and ask what they want? 

If LTTE is the problem, Tamils would vote to stay with "always taking good care of" Sri Lankan Government, wouldn't they?

and, if they might, just in the "slim" chance, Tamils want an independent state from Sri Lanka, then there has to be problem that is far bigger than LTTE, right?!!

Since you all are crying that we are falsely accusing the Sri Lankan Government, and LTTE is the real problem here, it would be definitely worth it to shut up all the Tamils Diaspora of last 60 years of "freedom enjoyed" from the Sri Lankan Government.

You glorify terrorism - do not expect anything but laughter from people.

Then do not confuse that laughter as for something else you time to time remember to put forward as your excuse.

We don't glorify terrorism; we don't celebrate Tamils civilians deaths as military victories as the Sri Lankan Government and Sinhalese extremists do.

however, we strongly believe in survival. Otherwise, Tamils would not be still in Sri Lanka after 60 years of systematic killings.

If it were not for LTTE, Tamils MPs, Jouranlists and many Tamil freedom fighters, Tamils would have perished totally in Sri Lanka by now.

No Tamil would have been able to set foot in Colombo to even leave the country.

Tamils would have been assassinated more and more in systematic incidents like:

July 1983:    52 Tamil prisoners massacred at Wellicata in Sri Lankan Army custody

July-1983:   3000 Tamils killed mostly burnt alive by Sri Lankan State sponsored terrorism on Tamils.

15/5/1986:   38 Tamils of Kumudhini boat passengers were masscred by Sri Lankan  Navy- Neduntheevu,Jaffna

7/9/1995:   65 Tamils  massacred at refuges camp -St. Peter church-Navali Jaffana

10/9/1990:   185 Tamils to massacred by stabbing at Sri Lankan Army Camp-Saththurukondan,Batticola

28/10/2000:   28 Tamils were massacred at the Rehabilitation Centre - Bindunuwewa

more more and more....

Well looks pro - LTTE is not getting what it is, as they always want to justify the LTTE. Even these people never lives in Sri Lanka and tells stories all from the tamil.net which the terrorist website which bands in lot of countries.

Talking about children, it is now these pro LTTE is talking about rapes and violating stuff, where were they when LTTE takes them forcefully from Universities, Schools and homes, even rufused ones were shot to dead. These are not made up stories and after all these people talk about genocide stuff. LTTE use these children and women to be suicide bombers and ware is there future heading with out children & women, then blame to Sri Lankan Army as teaching them the war.

Looting the food and everything has given to these people and then makes them to starve and ask them to fight for save there leaders life can see who is really care for Tamils. All these diaspora or who ever will be not really talking about Tamils they are talking about LTTE, Once again all Tamils are not LTTE and LTTE is not the Tamils what we talk about.
