Tears for a Tamil
A Tamil boy in Manchester
Talks about the pain he carries in him
Of a cousin
About 10
Who was killed by a bomb in Jaffna
I remember another Tamil Boy,
About 10
Playing football in the heat,
in Chan Ah Tong Street
Who would someday die in Manchester
Tamil solidairty in grief
Forget the cliches
Time doesn't heal
The pain finds new places to hide
Deeply missed and forever remembered by all loved ones.
