| Fear - Poster Color - Art by Ashok (1995) |
The tiring drive-
The endless road.
As reflections strive-
A cerebral load
The endless road.
As reflections strive-
A cerebral load
The Frozen eyes
in despair stare;
Betrayed by Lies
Beyond repair.
in despair stare;
Betrayed by Lies
Beyond repair.
Over reddened sand
the tyrants dance.
The martyr’s land
Yearns eternal trance.
the tyrants dance.
The martyr’s land
Yearns eternal trance.
As Darkness shrouds-
The silence screams.
Like wandering clouds-
Orphaned dreams.
The silence screams.
Like wandering clouds-
Orphaned dreams.
(Written on the background of the Tamil genocide in Sri Lanka)
Beautifully penned, despite pain and poster fear!
ReplyDeleteOrphaned dreams - an excellent title!
ReplyDeleteBut can't quite comprehend how it links to the poster...
This, like all of your writing, moves me greatly. You are truly gifted.
ReplyDeleteYour gifts have a wide range...your art and poetry all amazing. I cannot bring myself to watch the video, but I did read a little about the civil war and I am happy it DID end. It is deeply deeply sad to think about what humans do to each other. Your art captures well the entrapment, the fear, the sadness, the darkness.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great talent for writing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art with matching lines.
ReplyDeletethe poster is dark, your words are even more dire. but the one lit candle in your image brings hope.
ReplyDeleteI envy you. Ashok. Good work. Not even a single line flows when I sit to write :/
ReplyDeleteI tried watching the video. Couldn't get through it. I love the way you have honored the victims of this war. Somehow what you write and paint, gets straight to the heart, without all the details. I know your heart is big and giving. Thank you Ahsok.
ReplyDeletepowerful words
ReplyDeleteI love the painting, brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHey Ashok:) Your words and painting do say so much!
ReplyDeleteI love the candle in this image, Ashok.
ReplyDeleteIt brings light to your words.
Beautifully done!
You, Ashok, you give us to look at, to think and pray! And remains hope against hope.
ReplyDeleteThe candle is lit!
excellent tile

ReplyDeleteFascinating. Very mesmerizing image. I like the 3 woven corners.
ReplyDeleteNicely done..but sad though ~
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to read this post and the background post. Tough times and looks like no big change in sight...? So depressing and sad.
ReplyDeleteAnd the painting in so apt for the words and setting!
Ashok,
ReplyDeleteYour painting and your poetry are amazing....you are just so talented!
Good work of art...
ReplyDeleteThere is no redeeming factor in any of this, very disheartening. The endless road beyond repair, the tyrants dance and the silent screams, captures it very well. Sickening how the human race abandons its own heart. Thankful for a bit of light in your photo.
