Lullaby for Niece Kavysha

Lullaby below was set to tune by my sister in law for my niece Kavysha 1st month ceremony



Aararoo aariraroo aararoo aariraroo
Kavysha enggal kannoo
Iraivan thantha pillai adi
Sinnavale sellam adi

Aararoo aariraroo aararoo aariraroo
tharika tanggai kavyshaa
enggal selvam kavyshaa

Akkal samaram veesa
Iru pooti ingu irukka
Paati erandum aasi pesa
Suttarum unnai soolthirukka
Thai thandai thalathil
Inbam kondu nee uranga
Iraivan kaap paan adee
kan moodi nee urrangu

Aararoo aariraroo aararoo aariraroo
Kavysha enggal kannoo
Iraivan thantha pillai adi
Sinnavale sellam adi

Aararoo aariraroo aararoo aariraroo
Vadivalen vamsamthin vilantha muthe
Malllai kullal konda mothe

Aararoo aariraroo aararoo aariraroo
Iraivan thantha pillai adi
Sinnavale sellam adi
Aararoo aariraroo aararoo aariraroo

Bury your head into my chest, for it's love bursting with rage that has enough fire to burn darkness into light.

Custodial Deaths

16th July,
Do you know what day it is?
16th July 1942, its the beginning of the mass arrest of Jews towards Holocaust
This 16th July is not about the Jews,
It's a day to remember the dead

16th July,
Do you know what day it is?
16th July 1982 - Mahathir Mohamad became the 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia
This 16th July is not about him
It's a day to remember the dead

16th July
Do you know what day it is?
It's a day we mourn as shameful Malaysian on how our institutions let us down
It's a day a to remember the dead

Who is dead you might ask?
Cheong Fook Meng, Sugumaran, Mohd.Ropi, Chew Shiang Giap, Ragu
You don't know them? How about this name?
Teoh Beng Hock? Sure that rings a bell !
Nearly 100 scores of those died in custody, Teoh Beng Hock is just a statistic, right
Try telling his 4 year old sons, your father is just a statistic
Try telling Beng Hock's fiance who 5 years ago dreamt to be with him in the wedding bed but saw him in the bed of graves
Just try telling them...
That he is just a statistic!

Any body who goes into custody, does not deserve to die like a cornered rat
He may be innocent or guilty to the highest degree
That is for the law to decide, Not for the men in blue
Justice? that died in Malaysia, when the man in the badge battered the detainee to death

16th July
Do you know what day it is?
It's a day to remember the dead.... in custody that is

Musing of the Mind

How did we become whores in the road of materialism?

When we buried our dreams to pay our bills and listen to pimping advertisement

MANDELA

Mandela, you are mother freedom's son

Apartheid you ended with a peaceful gun

No prison walls of 27 years stopped you from your goal

Directly you spoke from the voice of freedom's soul

Ever loving God has called you to his side

Long walk to freedom has ended

Always Madiba for freedom and fairness you will be remembered.

My Appachi

Hair of sliver streaks adorn her crown, she is my Appachi,

Second mother to me, she is my Appachi

A lady full of virtue, she is my Appachi,

Daily feeding us with love, she is my Appachi,

I cannot repay what you have done for me, Appachi

From bottom of my heart, I love you Appachi.

Poetry of the mind

I can build castles in the air without despair,
It would be perfect without repair.

I can be a poor prince or a rich pauper,
Anything thing my hearts offer.

To be a preacher, poet or a philosopher,
With boundless knowledge from the mind's coffers.

To be a man or woman with the perfect body,
With enough beauty to seduce anybody.

To be an agnostic, atheist, aghori or wiccan,
Or create a faith with me as a beacon.

I can be an angle, I can be Satan, I can be God,
I can be more than the faiths afford.

A fastest runner with the best legs to run,
Or the silk worm that gives the best thread to be spun.

Oh mind, my mind, never mind if you are in the brain or heart,
Be with me and never depart.

My imagination is larger than the mighty sea,
This is where i am free and I am truly allowed to be.
