THE DROVERS’SONG by Desmond Kelly “the Star of eLanka” This one is especially for our Aussie “Country-folk”, the farmers, the cattle-men, & “Country-girls” who, for no fault of their own, sometimes lead very lonely lives, indeed. In this huge, beautiful Country, one hears about these “workers”, but that is as far as it goes. The men, spending far more time with “cattle” they are tending, because, this is what they do, get much less time with their families, and, as a result, their wives often feel the lonliness associated with the “farming life” even though they are kept busy with their home-duties & children, if any. I have written this little “song” especially for the “drovers” in Australia. This is for you, guys (& girls). “AS THE SHADOWS OF TWILIGHT ARE FALLING AND THE LONG COLD NIGHT IS NEAR HOW I WISH YOU WERE WITH ME, MY DARLING CLOSE MY ...

DISCRIMINATION by Desmond Kelly “the Star of eLanka” DISCRIMINATION, THE SCOURGE OF OUR GENERATION AGAINS’T COLOUR, CREED, GENDER & “STATION” SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN THE AUSTRALIAN NATION, BUT, WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THIS ABERRATION? !, NOT MUCH, BY THE SOUND OF IT.!. In better days, in Ceylon, the popular adage was “WOMEN FIRST, EVEN TO THE GALLOWS”. Women were, after all, “The weaker sex”, “The fairer sex”, “The better half”, etc.,etc.. Men were supposed to “look after them”, “open doors for them”, “carry bags for them” &.generally treat them like the QUEENS they were. Men, on the other hand, in Ceylon, anyway, either drank, smoked, gambled & chased hot, wild, women, (most times, all four). Many of them could afford to participate in all these nefarious activities because they were paid higher salaries than the women who “worked” both “at-home” & “at work”to help out in the financial ...

CASTRATION WITHOUT HESITATION” by Desmond Kelly “the Star of eLanka” A little 2 year old baby girl SO severely abused physically and sexually that even SENIOR POLICE were aghast with horror(and these are people who see everything in the line of duty), is now in hospital, fighting for her little life. When things like this happen, the SCUMBAGS who are responsible, face Court, and are found GUILTY, should either be sentenced to LIFE without parole, face CASTRATION WITHOUT HESITATION, NOT jailed with ANY consideration for their own safety,simply because the toughest, hardest criminals ABHOR especially CHILD MOLESTORS, and then, let us see how TOUGH these bastards really are, when confronted by someone who is about to bash their “molesting” head in, OR, first, castrated, in prison and if HE/SHE is not an Australian Citizen, “PACKED-OFF” to their own Country Courts, to be “re-tried”” for their sickening crimes & then, hopefully ...

“FOUR-SCORE & FORWARD” by Desmond Kelly “The Star of eLanka” “HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE EIGHTY, FORMERLY KNOWN AS “FOUR-SCORE” ? MY DAUGHTER HAS WRITTEN A “BOOKLET” BUT I’LL ADD JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE IT WAS “GREAT” TO BE BORN IN SRI LANKA, A LITTLE “CANCERIAN MAN” IN THE SUBURB, NOW CALLED MARADANA WHICH WAS FORMERLY NAMED “MARANDAN”. The “booklet” mentioned above was written by my one & only daughter, Michelle, specifically as a “bonus” for “THE ULTIMATE DVD” produced in England by my good friend Jude Goonewardane, which is also proudly, the ORIGINAL “YOU-TUBE STYLE” DVD IN THE WORLD. As a result,(Although I still have a fortnight to go), “FOUR-SCORE & FORWARD” is being written, as what I would term “a brief autobiography” on the special request of MICHAEL,DOUGLAS,MICHELLE & WARREN, four of the “best kids” that any father, anywhere, could hope to have.

“THE MINISTER’S CALL” by Desmond Kelly the “Star of eLanka” This is presently very much in the “news” on television at the moment, but for those of you who are not aware of it, “I say what I mean,& mean what I say”. This tragic drama occured in Geraldton, a little mid-west town of Perth,Western Australia, in 2014, and what should have been a “true-life” love story, ended as a “true-death” sentence for this young male doctor (Athukorale), who was bludgeoned to death, (as he slept), by his Sri Lankan wife, (Liyanage), also a doctor. and quite a popular one, in Geraldton too, I believe. Two young people with everything to live for, “obviously” in love, but covertly in a marriage that was fraught with abuse both physically & psychologically, , suffered by Chamari Liyanage,at the hands of Dinendra Athukorale, her husband,(it has to be noted by non Sri Lankans ...

THE LOWEST POINT – by Desmond Kelly This”quote” does not come from this writer, in fact, it comes directly from Steve Smith, Captain of the present Australian Cricket Team, who has just lost a series of cricket, matches played “at home”, against South Africa. ” Losing the “test-series” against S.A., so comprehensively, both abroad and also “at home”, in Hobart, Tasmania is definitely the “low-point” of cricket” said the Australian Captain.,”not good enough” he continued, I need players who will do better”, was Steve’s personal quote on the ABC morning news. Sorry, Steve, you are the “Captain” of the Ship, and when the Ship goes down, the Captain is also just supposed to “go-down” with it & the rest of the crew. You are not supposed to “survive” & blame the rest of your crew for any disaster, whatsoever. If you were able to “save” your team in any shape, manner ...

“How have you spent your “dash”? by Desmond Kelly the Star of eLanka I write of a man who stood to “speak”, at the funeral of a good friend With reference to the “dates” On his tombstone (to-be), from the beginning, right to the end. He noted that first, came the “date of your birth”, then, the date of your death, brought some tears But, what mattered most, this good friend now said was the “dash” that you spent twixt the years For this “dash” represented all of the time, that you spent,while alive on this Earth, and now, only those who loved you the most, knew just what that little “line” was worth For, it matters not, how much you had or you owned, the houses, the cars, or the cash, more importantly,friend, how you lived & you loved, and how, exactly, you spent that “short dash” Now, think ...
