JUSTICE GAMINI ABEYRATNE
In the breaking hours of a November dawn,
A light went out, yet its spirit shone on.
Gamini Abeyratne, etched in gold,
A legacy of justice, a story told.
Four decades he served with a steady grace,
In Sri Lanka’s courts, he held his place—
A voice for the voiceless, a beacon bright,
In the darkest of times, he stood for right.
His judgments spoke beyond law’s decree,
Catharsis of truth and empathy.
Without truth, justice cannot prevail,
Without respect, morality fails.
He saw through charlatans cloaked in lies,
Who took from the poor under midnight skies.
Against thugs, and cheats, and all who oppress,
He wielded the law, held none to less.
In empathy and law, his wisdom flows,
A legacy enduring where justice grows.
Not for consequence, but for the good,
For dignity’s sake, unwavering he stood.
In justice’s halls, his name will remain,
A pillar of truth in enduring fame.
For Gamini believed in the dignity of man,
In every soul, his legacy spans.
And as the years drift silently by,
Let us recall his unyielding sky—
Gamini Abeyratne, your spirit gives,
In hearts, your vision of justice lives.
