May Day Poem 5- Visible Theater/ Invisible Characters Poem by Udaya R. Tennakoon

Once upon a time
There was a May Day
It was fact for their right
Once upon a time
There is a May Day
It is the fact, just for a photo

Being Close to a banner
Becomes a leader
Behind marching crowd
Enhances imaginary followers

The leader gives his modern phone
Follower gives then
Each other captures
Auto focused struggle
We ourselves smile

A wide shot of voicing marching, saluted hands
A close shot of revolutionary face
'A May day Snap'
Supported selfie
Gives a shift for a real change
We ourselves laugh

In an hour
The rally is over
Returns to the theater
Snapped Muppet characters
Begin to play

As Reuter news
Posted it in sudden
Spread over the world you have

Many 'likes'
Counts how many 'shares' and 'comments'
Commenting comrades
Giving back 'Thanks'

Along Face book street
Many 'likes'
Counts how many 'shares' and 'comments'
Commenting comrades
Giving back 'Thanks'

Who could say?
Which is right or wrong
Which is true or false
If it is for the self-happiness

But from the eyes of truth
Before the snap
Behind the banner
If someone point at and say,
Beware of the 'Dogs'
Might it be seen?
By the blind leftist believers
