Boom shake shake shake the room

Look at the pretty bombs. People dying every where. The LTTE drops some, the LKGov drops some, then the LTTE drops some more, and the LKGov drops a few and blame it on the LTTE, and then Jeppo drops some to show that they're still there. Meanwhile, We the People are dropping turds in our pants.

Did we really think that bombing the uncleared area was going to go without retaliation? When the LRRP takes out a school bus, did they ever think that there would be retaliation? When we dumped the CFA did we really think that we would be allowed to just get away with stuff? We killed their political leaders, they're targeting ours. We drop bombs on all sorts of areas and they return the favour. Welcome to the Mahamulana Chinthanaya. If you don't know about the area, ask an old-school Down Souther to tell you about it.

I'm not really fussed about the bombs. I'm not going to shout for more and better security. I'm definitely not going to scream for the ineffectual checkpoints to be brought back. I don't want security theater.

I want the fucking bigwigs who run this country to go around just like us. No checkpoints, no security guards, just them. Then they can see how much we love and respect them.

I think I speak for most Sri Lankans when I ask the LTTE to please stop hitting civillian targets. Most of us just want to live in peace. Many of us have nothing against you. But, hey, feel free to drop a load on the House on the Diyawanna. I'll even tell you some wonderful locations to fire from. Do us all a favour eh?

The bombs keep going off of course, and the LKGov does its level best to make sure that we live in a state of fear. What they don't realise is that the Sri Lankans only seem like an apathetic bunch. We'll take a lot of punishment, but eventually we'll turn on you. Bombs don't worry us much. We're getting used to blasts. We did it before and we'll do it again. The Jeppo used terror against us, and yet we got used to that too. And one day, we'll turn on you. Not because of the bombs. Not because of the terror. Not because The Beast and his brethren lied to us. But because we are sick and tired of this shit. Tired of the taxes we pay lining his pockets, tired of him living the high life while the price of food goes higher and higher. Remember the lessons of Premadasa, we may fear you, but we won't love you or help you. And when the time comes, there'll be fireworks all over the place.

Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. BOOM!!
