An Actor but Out of the Drama
POETRY FORMAT, 11 Feb 2013
Udaya R. Tennakoon – TRANSCEND Media Service
At a certain point
He happened to be a pretender
Deviating the track he came
Like an iguana
Way of flowing the life
Broke and changed
Language of words
Feelings and expressions
Thoughts and strategies
Smiles and laughs
Became an artificial drama of an actor
Does his role very latently
Lie being the reality
Life becomes the reality of lie
From then on
Vanished the soul and
Reborn a different mind
Because of that
Life being shaped
Before the mirror
He is same but different in soul
