Lost at Sea

Lost at Sea

This collection is part of what I call my ‘political poems’. It all started while I was studying in university in the UK,  when it came to my realisation that the ideal world of the serene Maldives only existed in my imagination; that in reality people were being arrested, tortured, and even killed at the whim and fancy of those who controlled almost all aspects of our lives.

A lot of the poems were written during a time when the struggle for the overthrow of the autocratic rule of President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom was going on. Some of the poetry was written in desperation.


1. Winds of Change 

2. How far will the wind blow
