Sinhala Hindu Avurudda
Traditional New Year
Time to reflect and recharge batteries
Time to return to the roots
Time for unity
Colombo
Center of attention otherwise
Becomes a ghost town
Almost
The hospitals
Are the same
People go here and there
United in feeling
Pain, anguish, helplessness
Written on the faces
Sickness, pain and death
Does not take leave
Even when all others do
