July

Named after Julius Caesar

Hero of the Romans,

Who killed him later

 

Now July comes anew

Nourished and refreshed

By our monsoon rain, bright sun

And Ocean breeze

 

July rises now in green and

Golden splendour,

Despite the thunderclouds

And brilliant blue of skies

That once were filled with

Smoke and fiery death

 

We learn to live in peace

Amid universal memories,

Tragedies and comedies

Of human kind

 

Sri-lankan-poems-July

A painting of Romans stabbing Julius Caesar to death in the Theatre of Pompey
