Not A Big Issue Whether It's My Resume Or Curriculum Vitae?



To whom it may concern!
I was born in 19, April,1951
under the dramatic planet Capricorn
at Kalubovila General Hospital
Colombo, Sri Lanka!
Full Name: Dunuhinga Nimal Priyasiri Silva
Father's Name: Dunuhinga Sirisena Silva
Mother's Name: Balasuriyage Esme Perera
And I have two brothers
one already said: 'Goodbye! '
and two sisters.
Married and having two daughters.
Studied at Girl's High School & Prince of Wale's College
up to G.C.E (Ordinary Level) in Science
but not passed?
Soon I finished my Chemistry Test paper
in half an hour's time,
jumped to a Cinema Theater for matinee show
watched that Hindi entertaining movie
'Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai'
casting Dev Anand & Asha Parekh!
My first job a power loom weaver
made checked designs like life.
Then a skilled sheet metal fabricator
turned out light fittings to see the ugly World?
Sailed overseas for fifteen years.
A Port Control Officer to Salalah port in the Sultanate of Oman
and port of Jeddah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Plotted the anchor positions to giant ships
but still I am drifting?
Here I work to a Gas station as a Sales Associate
and a part time weekend job in a Doughnut shop
designated as a Coffee-Maker and I add sweet & low
to enrich the life's bitterness?
Honoured Sir/Madam,
I lost my Health Insurance benefits
as they believe that I earn higher than to their standard?
And I am totally tired and sick of this life.
If you offer me a small table and a chair
with a lump sum monthly salary
then I could have written my entire life, poems
or a chauffeur job to bring your precious children home safely
from school as I got my Massachusetts driving Licence!

I humbly dedicate this poem to Philip H. Mantis, Esq. attorney at law
with gratitude!
