Disheartening to behold
The ugly face of racism
Raising its head
In mother Sri Lanka.
Like a garden of beauty
Replete with flowers
Of various hues and diversity
Sri Lanka is endowed with
Diverse community
Of different race, religion
And culture
Having coexisted
From time immemorial
In peace unity and harmony.
The long-standing fraternity
Among Lanka’s community
Has been soured and turned into
Mistrust suspicion and acrimony
Due to communal racial
And religious politics
In a quest for power, position
And supremacy.
Let us sink all our differences
To nip this racism in the bud
And take the country forward
On the road to development
And prosperity
Where all could live in peace
And harmony
With justice peace and equity.
