a Poem to our Motherland. Ceylon — Sri Lanka – Then & Now! – by G J P Fernando Ode to Lanka, Our Motherland Ode to Lanka, Our Motherland In the heart of the Indian Ocean, a tale unfolds, Of Ceylon’s beauty, in history it moulds. Under British rule, a pearl so bright, Economy soaring, reaching majestic height.   Independence dawned, Sinhala pride took the lead, Promises of progress, a nation to succeed Yet, the early rulers, passive in their reign, Left the land untouched, no growth to gain.   Then arose the Oxford educated son, Claiming saviourhood, a battle to be won.
