A Warrant Issued on A deputy Inspector General of Police -A Poem

by Basil Fernando
[June 17, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka Guardian]

Colombo magistrate court issued
A warrant against a Harath, a DIG
The world is told today.


Warrants are for court absconders
Those wretched criminals
Who tries even to cheat justice.

When from highest ranks of police
Such absconders emerge
It says a lot about our law enforcement

He will come now
He will apologize
Then once again he will hold his rank

So the joke goes on
Lawless law enforcement continues
In this paradise, the South Asian miracle.
