Irony

Ruwani Apsara Kokawala 1989

People who let others fly
Without caging
People who hide their tears
In laughter
People who think of others
While they are hurting
People who risk their lives
Even in danger
People who waived good bye
Without complaining
People who can be happy
When others are happier
Those are the people
Who know real meaning
Of love even they are
Being played by the players..
