Behold PNoy’s country in the Year of the Ram
Our nation experienced both ugly & handsome

After Papal Visit, 44 policemen massacred in Mamasapano
But this year crowned Mr. International, a policeman, a Filipino

Although in FOTC, male superiority went to USA
In Latin America, Pinoy Pride 33 champions all the way

Although in FIBA, our might supremacy gained by China
In Asia’s Got Talent, champion is El Gamma Penumbra

USA & China we have united
In APEC Summit we have hosted

Our new light was seen by America & Asia
When salt lamp introduced by Mijeno, Aiza

Our light brightens, its glory & radiance disperse
Upon getting the crown in Ms. Globe, Ms. Earth & Ms. Universe

We have been light to the East & the West
We can be a light to all of the rest!

Just a second gap
For years with a crowd
Holy float enshroud
“San Enchero” leaf

From a man on top
Near the icon’s lap
Devotee clusters
Among churchgoers
Near highschool classmates

It’s a holy day
It is Good Friday
At early evening
After float blessing
Twenty-Ninth of March

About church in front
Diagonal slant
Where people gather
Here banwa proper
One of the last floats

It’s memorable
For I was able
To effortless pick
Now’s so very quick

I set aboard across the sea
One morning high to hunt some food
But soon the sky became cloudy
Earlier thought the weather’s good

Then hard zephyr passed over me
While at the middle waters deep
Descend the sail so hastily
Must shore return – row, row, row keep

But miles away the land to see
Flashed lightning, roared thunder, poured rain
On my small boat so heavily
Returning safe seems to be vain

Alongwith me my family
Father, mother and lone sister
We cried for help from somebody
But we alone who are in there

So I invoke the Almighty
To stop the storm once and for all
Great, kind and merciful is Thee
To heed my most desparate call.

When I came to thee
I was already a wet blanket

The Father & Co-Founder of thee
Who once gave me an opportunity

After rejecting his master
Who is now our nation’s master

Still accepts this idiot rebel
Now claiming to have their label

And trying to be on same way
Accepting all frustration & dismay

However found alternative
To dreams forever elusive

As I try to listen, ponder & recover
Licking up wounds like a villain intruder

Trying to **** the pride which may be natural
Understanding & accepting others’ weakness can be beneficial.

*Prayers to the 8 Colors of Santa Muerte

Got two flowers before thee
From Uncle Jake’s eulogy –

The first one was yesterday
At ‘bout twelve-thirty midday
In front CapSU-D Admin
Where with others ‘twas standin’
But inside my shirt’s pocket
Pumped already when I get

So this day his burial
While in offering floral
When with others I aligned
Got another of same kind
Along with “Lead Me Lord” song
Unnoticed amidst the throng

After got the second one
At post-necro sun was gone
To cemetery onward
For minutes, rain poured so hard
Carless, like us, stopped awhile
Till sun again showed its smile

Burial to be continued
On cemetery we should
After Uncle Jake’s son cried
Last bundles I picked with pride
Thought me I’ll change my flower
But oh! I’d to turn over

And oh! Poked Nene Intan
I got again another one
Of same color, same specie
White orchid – I got with glee
Then finally, I threw it
Inward my Uncle Jake’s pit

Yet now that I have my third
Its origin turned absurd
Confusion into my mind
Memory wants a rewind
From where did I really take
This orchid for Uncle Jake –

Was it from those turned over?...
Or from the stem thrown under?...
Anyway, this white orchid
Is for sure my greatest bid –
It heard the priest’s liturgy
Being teacher’s praiseworthy.

Consider that I’m not a pest
As I am subject to thy behest

Perhaps I’m a rooster
Who wakes up earlier
To tell my master
I’m ahead him/her

Perhaps I’m a cat
Who incurs my wrath
On every destructive rat
In my keeper’s hut

Perhaps I’m a canine
Who barks even past nine
When someone crosses the line
I can even break a spine

Perhaps I’m a pig
Who just lay fat and big
Can’t even do a graceful jig
Only comfort it wants to dig

Perhaps I’m a carabao
Friend of iron plow
Machine for more than just an hour
Works with even humble bow.

If I’m all or none above
I hope to me you have some love.
