Mirror And Strangers Poem by Udaya R. Tennakoon

Aside or in
Left or the right
Frontier or the back
North or the South
Around 360 degrees
Stagnant or moving
Silence or voicing
Let your mind training
To suspect even the trust in heart

The world is in danger
By narrowing the view into a structure
Ghost terror haunts
Colors again to black and white
To see at a body and a matter

Instead the beauty, mind for the cruelty
Reverse to the enlightenment and
Turn to the Dark Age
Polarizing everything
Forgetting roots and causes
Brand and vote to build your own home

Identity given
Gestures shown
Unfamiliar words murmur
Search and look at strange eyes
Tighten the safety belt and
Run for the exist

Peaceful mind inside
Without a confession
Since the fear at the door step
Sharpen your weapon and aim

World is a target
You are in a basket
A second for a death net
Life is a bracket

Enjoyment is being smashed
Cost of life is being lightened
Wind of shadow is being gusted
Reason is being declared
