So
you want sword turned
into
ploughshare and industry
hatred
into love
and
new destiny
soft
word for harsh
an
upturning of the earth
in
war’s aftermath?
Then
look!
This
is dance
the
movement of arms
outlawed
and undergrounded
and
in that elegant transliteration
read
if you will
affirmation
of life over death
voice
over silence
the
resilience of a people
underestimated
at cost. Inspired by the photography of Ravindra Dharmatilleka
