End this greed

On Poson Full Moon Day,
The great Arahat Mahinda
Brought the Message of Peace
And Non-Violence
To our Motherland,
The Pearl of the Orient.

That Great Arahat extolled
The Value of Ahinsa –
He said cause no pain to any living being
To a generation that enjoyed
Hunting and killing for sport.

Your message is priceless
To a generation rotten with
Greed for luxuries and wealth,
Cutting each other’s throats
For minor benefits.

Can’t we live in peace and unity
In this holy land
As one Sri Lankan nation?
All humans and beasts
Have the right to live their lives.
