What mistakes we have done,
When we rose for our rights,
On the land that our ancestors owned,
on the banks our lives revolved around.
For the hope of getting justice,
The tigers had roared in Sri Lanka,
The world did not listen and guide,
And they were left to be annihilated.
Every feared Sri Lankan Tamil,
In every other developed nation,
Represents helpless thousands,
Back at home with a tale or two.
When the last group of rebels,
Faced the powerful troop of political disciple,
Held the white flags to surrender,
Mutilated and killed to wonder
Would the massacre end the desire,
Of having justice and thunder, s
Echoes in the hall of UN,
Another vibrant Tiger roars,
To rejuvenate the dead justice,
For their slaughtered brothers and sisters
Thank you, America,
The land of fearless,
Thank you.
the most relevent, striking poem to voice for srilankan tamis, the most unfortunate humans in the backdropp of the most unhuman indian. i feel to be an indian, prefer to be a tamil.
Though unfortunate, reasons for the Srilankan Tamils miseries are not far to seek. We could have had a very peaceful coexistence.
The fearless tiger(US) has leapt forward to carry out the commands of the UN. Let us hope US hold aloft the flag of justice. The roaring voice of the woman-poet marvels.

I would like to translate this poem
There is no doubt that America is the fearless, roaring tiger eliminating the dictators and voicing strongly against the war crimes and atrocities and the terrorists. The poem neatly expounds the truth that the thirst for freedom is not ended by the massacre of the Tiger-fighters. May God give strength to the UNO to deliver justice.
