Some of these people may not agree with me, but that is their prerogative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">I am also, not only &#8220;mad&#8221;, but totally &#8220;disturbed&#8221; about the fact that the present &#8220;Constitutional-Crisis&#8221; taking place, over there, does not seem to be in the least bit, newsworthyover here, in Oz. I do not give a damn about these crises.Bad news is abundant everywhere in the World, but, we, &#8220;Belittled-Burghers&#8221; (myself, for instance), like to be kept informed about what is happening in &#8220;Our Country&#8221;(after all, we were born there, too). <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">After having watched &#8220;Aunty A.B.C.&#8221;, &#8220;Uncle S.B.S&#8221;, and even &#8220;2nd Cousins&#8221; &#8220;The Sri Lanka Morning Show&#8221;, &amp; others, on television, I am amazed that most of their programmes are &#8220;delayed-action&#8221; ones, with &#8220;news&#8221; that took place as much as a fortnight ago. Not ONE WORD was said, as regards what is occurring there, right now. This is most unsatisfying, and that is putting it, mildly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">As far as the Burghers are concerned, and so, WE should be, eLanka, the most prestigious website for each &amp; every Lankan\/Aussie, &amp; &#8220;Patriots&#8221; everywhere, want nothing to do with Politics either in Australia or Sri Lanka. As far as this Editor is concerned, I take no sides with anyone, but, at the same time, regret the fact that, so soon, after a prolonged, unnecessary bloody war, in such a tiny little Country, those, in charge, cannot seem to pick up the reins and guide Sri Lanka on the road to &#8220;perfect-peace&#8221;. We want (and need) the tourists to keep going to this beautiful little Island, not looking for another Bali to spend their money in, sometimes suffering with &#8220;Bali-Belly&#8221;, to boot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">Personally, I never swear, mouth epithets &amp; stuff, but I know my readers will believe me when I add this saying, which I will also claim as my own, in future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">&#8220;OUR SPIRITS&#8221;, EVERYWHERE, &#8220;OUR SOULS&#8221; IN SRI LANKA&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">Another original composition, now revised, as follows:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">&#8220;CALYPSO D\/CEYLON&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">This lovely little Country, that we LIVED in,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">Filled with natural beauty, up to the brim,\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">ONCE ATTRACTED TOURISTS, from near &amp; far,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">NOW, IS BECOMING, A PART OF CHINA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">It WAS a Country that, beyond doubt,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">There WAS EVERY REASON, TO BOAST ABOUT,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">Take her other name, to say, in the least,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">CHINA IS NOT &#8220;The Pearl of the East&#8221;!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">Take Colombo, Kandy, or even Galle,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">Just take any place in Lanka, at all, <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">The &#8220;moral&#8221; of our land was simplicity,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">Interlaced with warm hospitality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">We have had some very &#8220;good years&#8221; in life,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">We have also had some\u00a0 &#8220;trouble &amp; strife&#8221;, <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">NOW, HERE&#8217;S ANOTHER DISMAL OUT-LOOK,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">PEACE, MUST COME FIRST, in Our Country&#8217;s book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">Now everything is all said and done,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">There&#8217;ll never be, another Ceylon<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">Now, that her banners, I have unfurled,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">Our Homeland, must take her place in this World.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">THIS IS MY ADVICE, NOT TOO LATE TO LEARN,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">WRITTEN TO WHOM, IT MUST REALLY CONCERN,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">LOOK AFTER LANKA, &amp; WHAT IS SHE WORTH ?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">PRICELESS, SHE IS, THIS LAND OF OUR BIRTH.!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Desmond-Kelly-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29836\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Desmond-Kelly-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"125\" height=\"178\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">Desmond Kelly<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">Star of eLanka<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #0000ff;\">(Editor-in-Chief).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;OUR SOULS&#8221;, IN SRI LANKA&#8221; \u2013 By Des Kelly I am sick to death, about it, so I have decided to write this little piece on behalf of all the Lankan\/Aussie Burgher- buggers who were forced to leave the little Island of Ceylon, for one reason or another.
