nimal dunuhinga - My lonely Palm tree

A leaf of the palm, borne as a symbol of victory
But you are isolated like me,
Though we are tall like a Watchtower yet cannot touch the pallid sky.
You have a simple stem and terminal crown of large leaves.
But I am uprooted in the saga and and my broken crown pawned for a song.

Dedication to the deceased Marxist Sri Lankan celebrated singer *Gunadasa.Kapuge
