Poems of farewell to a departing President

The Escalator

escalator, Mahendra Gonsalkorale

I was half dreaming

Standing still but moving

I was going down

Others by my side coming up

Many stood still

Others pushing past me

In a hurry

Where were their thoughts

Mine was in a haze

Seeing but not observing

Then I saw her

In the distance looking up

In the distance coming up slowly

A figure in a million

Head tossed back carelessly

A sensuous but sad face

She is now almost at my level

Will she recognise me

My throat went dry

My heart was beating fast

She looked at me and caught my eye

Just a faint smile, a twitch

I looked back as she went up

She was looking at me

A smile crossed her face

I went limp and flushed

Nearly fell off as I reached the end

She remembered me!

She remembered me!

– Mahendra Gonsalkorale –

Loss of a Legend

Orator, Scientist, Lyricist, Marxist
Teacher, Scholar, Doctor, Mentor
Multifaceted, Multitalented
Endless list,
As a Legend departs, leaving heavy hearts.

Inspiration to many, shaping, guiding
Provoking thoughts, touched many lives
The Foreword you wrote, advice I cherish
A light extinguished, though not from hearts
Loss to the Nation, no small measure
For you Dear Sir, were a National treasure.

Medicine & politics mixed with flare
Courting controversy without fear nor fare
Breaking barriers & myths with equal vigour
Dared to tread fire; question the Creator
Even in death your body is teaching
That light of learning eternally lit.

Sir, long may your legacy live
Enriching, inspiring tomorrow’s World.
Timeless Sir, the role you played
For many in different walks of life
Indelible Sir, are the footsteps left
In the sands of Lanka’s Medical peers.


වෙද නලාවත් , බට නලාවත්
හෙල කලාවත් , සිසු විවාදත්
කාලෝචිත ගී රටාවත්,
එකට මෙහෙයූ ශූරයෙකි ඔබ
වියෝ වී ඇත ලොවින් ළගදී .

ගී පොතේ මගෙ, පෙරවදනෙ ලියු
ඔබේ ඔවදන් නිම් නාද දෙයි අද,
ගමන් නිමකල ගුරු පියානෙනි
සමුගනිමු අපි ඔබෙන් සදහට .

දෙව් බල නොතකා, බාධක බිදදා
ගිනි දළු පැගුව, තර්ක විශාරද
දේහය දන් දී, ඉගෙනුම උදෙසා
නික්මුනේ ඔබ නිවනුත් නොපතා.

පීඨයේ වෙද ඔබ තබා ගියෙ
පාද සටහන් සදා නොමැකෙන
තාවකාලික අපේ ජීවිත
අමරණීයයි ඔබේ නාමය .
