Why Children?

Image
They light up this world-and distribute smiles They bring us joy- which doesn't come for miles Because of them-We unite as one They are none other than-our own children As time passes-human beings Hunt down children-for their own means By thousands of numbers-they all vanish And the world's light- murderers extinguish Like a pack of wild dogs- hunting little rabbits And tearing them apart-into little bits Why do children - have to suffer For our mistakes-and thoughts that differ Save all children-save our light Poor or rich-their smiles are bright They are worth tonnes of gold -and even more than that Stop all adults- whose greed is growing fat...! 01-10-2015

Saving the Earth

Image
       Earlier, man was compassionate about his environment and different animals roaming about in it. He looked at it as a paradise. But this splendor didn't continue.        The modern man became corrupted and treated his environment as a garbage dump. The people started to chop trees continuously, sell the land where there could have been a peaceful forest, or build a factory.        The people have a nasty habit of caging/ surrounding, or worse, killing innocent animals. Due to  hunting, some animals, like the  dodo bird, has gone extinct. It is also rare to see  elegant animals like Leopards, Cheetahs, Jaguars. These animals who belong to the cat family are also seen caged up in zoos for people to stare at, point their "digital or non- digital", "expensive" cameras at, laugh at or throw food at.        People argue about politics,...

New Year at My Mother's Office

Image
Today I went to my mother's office (Coordinating Secretariat for Science Technology and Innovation - COSTI) with her, as it is still school holidays for me. At 10.00 a.m., my mother, other officers and I sat down in a room where a table stood, flourishing with food. Milk rice, Pani Walalu , Kavum , and many more. Two cakes, one strawberry the other chocolate. An oil lamp was set at the edge of the table, decorated with betel leaves and a wax candle kept on the side. Once every single seat was occupied, Professor Ajith de Alwis, Project Director of COSTI, stood up to convey a message to the others about their procedure. Then he asked Professor Sirimali Fernando, CEO of COSTI,  also to encourage the others by a few words. After that, he invited some of the officers and me to light the oil lamp. After it was lit, he asked us to help ourselves with the food.  So, everyone helped themselves as he asked to. Some, including me, went for a second helping, until we were stuffed....

The Bear Family

Image
Once upon a time there were four bears. The first bear's name was John. The second bear was Rosie. The third was George and the fourth was Suzy. They all lived in a happy family. They had a beautiful house. One day, when Suzy was playing with her brother, she heard a gun shooting at something. It was a hunter trying to kill an animal. The bears were afraid of hunters. Just then she heard the hunter shout "Darn it!" because he missed the target. "George, the hunter will find us. We should warn our parents", Suzy said to her brother. So, both of them ran inside the house and told their parents "Mother, Father, there is a hunter in the forest. If he finds us, he will kill us all!". Then their mother went to warn all the bears and other animals. So everyone hid in their homes and closed all the doors. John said to Rosie " Rosie, what shall we do now? We are trapped!" "Yes, he will call the other hunters and search the whole jungle", sai...

A long time ago, in an alien world there lived two aliens called Bic and Duldey.One day when Duldey was coming out from school, he saw that Bic was looking sad. Duldey went to him and asked , ” Why are you sad?” Bic said, “That boy, Dustice, threw dust all over me”. Then all of a sudden, Bic became REALLY ANGRY! He said he had to make a plan at home. (Actually, in this particular world nobody had any parents). At evening, they went back home to make the plan. Then Bic had a plan. He said, “Here is my plan. You take a big broom from the school and I will take a huge dust bin. When he comes in, you sweep him into the dust bin and then put him into THE GARBAGE TRACTOR!” Then the great day arrived! They were early. They got ready to do as the plan. Then Dustice was coming. When he was coming in, Duldey swept him into the dust bin and threw him into the garbage tractor! Then Dustice shouted out saying " Help me!! Please take me out!!". Bic and Duldey thought for a moment. They ask...
