Verdict Of The People Poem by Ponniah Ganeshan

It is not the money you give that wins our hearts
It is not the gift you give,
Would make us happy at any rate
When our rights are violated
When our children are not protected.

You celebrated with pumps and shows
When we are killed and relatives disappeared
in thousands and thousands
You talked about patriotism
Dictating everything on your choice
In power.

This is the lesson
The voters of Northern province
Of Sri Lanka
Taught you at the election
This is the message
That the grievance they passed
For the world at large.
