    About this ebook

    A collection of six poems that speak of love, social injustice, the idiocy of senseless faith and the bizarre state of the gay.
    It is the third book of poems by Ravi (Indrajith Ravilal), a Sri lankan poet who has a strong liking towards the natural course of things.
    Being a minimalist he intends to show the reader the value of simplicity through his poems. In the title poem here in this book Ravi voices out against the gay community.

    Indrajith Ravilal

    Indrajith Ravilal is a Sri lankan writer-poet based in Kandy. Working as a medical personal he has loads of experience with the hardships and obstacles faced by the local community. He also tries to visualize the world as one neighborhood where people suffer in the complexities created by themselves in the struggle for survival. Being a minimalist Ravi brings this all into one handful in his poems.
