nimal dunuhinga - Sing for one's supper

A poor widow with her four children
represents the disgust.
Her husband was missing in action
in the long standing catastrophic civil war.
An inappropriate person who looks after them unconditionally.
In this unavoidable circumstance
she cannot show her reluctance
as she owed him much.
She is worried about her eldest daughter
and she protects her day and night.
She wants to expose this exploitation to the world
but she is helpless as she owed him much.
This is not an exquisite story
which gives us a hint of poverty.
