Talk of the town
Or
City of Batticaloa
Tsunami affected people are
In a hurry to pack their things
And to be shifted to another camp
May be the third or fourth one
Within a month
Organizations are busy with
Putting up billboards
And recruiting youths
To implement their mandates and
To expand their programs
People are in a hurry to pack their things
And to be shifted to another camp
May be the third or fourth one
Within a month
Trauma and counseling are
The talk of the town
People are in a hurry to pack their things
And to be shifted to another camp
May be the third or fourth one
Within a month
The voice of resistance
To the ill treatment of the people
Are not in mandates or in programs
And died down with the people
And a few concerned
People are in a hurry to pack their things
And to be shifted to another camp
May be third or fourth one
Within a month
Tidal waves of
The artificial tsunamis
Attacking again and again
People are in a hurry to pack their things
And to be shifted to another camp
May be third or fourth one
Within a month
Media Moguls
Rush to tsunami relief
Right to information not in their agenda
But they keep the country
With their propaganda
People are in a hurry to pack their things
And to be shifted to another camp
May be third or fourth one
Within a month
