In search of a lost God,
Bearing within my heart the burning ember of Tamil National Liberation,
To rediscover the traces of a lost Leader,
To catch the echoes of a voice that has vanished...
Born into the lap of a race
That has completely lost its warrior spirit;
Wearing the armor of helplessness-mistaken for pride-
And trudging through life bearing its heavy burden;
Driven by an undying, insatiable love for Tamil,
And focused singularly on the liberation of the Tamil race-
Never straying from that path...
In whose lifetime
Will the dream of "Tamil Desam" finally blossom?
Is it merely a mirage-
A shimmering illusion visible only to our eyes?
Or is it something tangible-
Something we can reach out and touch?
Holding fast to the truth that
"Change is the only constant,"
With unwavering resolve,
And alongside that guiding star of hope-
My elder brother, Seeman-
I walk this path, sharing both the journey and the dream.
