I’m neglected & condemned ‘coz I’m born a wretch & rascal
Whose life is sheathed & ******* with insults & betrayal
But after I get my millions of money
I’ll build an enterprise not yet in history
I’ll buy trust, respect, love & loyalty
And all those forsakers come back to me
The New World shall witness the rise of a pawn
The Father God is my fair godfather bringing a new dawn!

*Prayer Poems for Christmas

When I was a child, I was captivated
By colorful flowers beautifully painted
But what was that creature with floppy wings
Like a flower’s frail petal, attraction it brings

If a flower below to the land decorates
That creature above to the air celebrates
To the dance of the wind giving music
Its every movement is a graceful lyric

This flimsy flyer they called “butterfly”
In its absence, the flowers cry
So come butterflies…come to the flowers!
They need your fantastically propitious powers!

Oh! Imagine the world without butterflies!
It’s just like a chopsuey without spice
Music without notes, theater without actors
So safeguard these most artistic pollinators!

Taken thee from vine
Stem, fence intertwine
Violet and soft
Not on place aloft
It’s “alugbati”!

Owned by Hapitan
Somehow famous clan
Ma’am Diday is she
By us known to be
Santos her partner

Eaten I just have
Foods that I so love
Afternoon that’s dark
New Year is its mark
Baby’s birthday too

In front of dwelling
Where there’s no ceiling
Climbing cyclone wire
Where there is no mire
Alongside the road

First birthday party
Of child named Arnie
Curly hair this one
To Ma’am Diday son
I’m with Joy, Angie.

Hey foreigner!
Search the world map
Find shapes, don’t nap
Dog’s sitting there!

West – Pacific
Orient facing
Seems West guarding
Though Asiatic.

Blacks – first people
Browns – main settlers
Whites – once rulers
Peopling simple.

Asia’s old friend
China, India
And Arabia
But West to rend.

Heel Islamized
Yet, Spaniards came
And made it tame
Rest Christianized.

America’s
First Asian pet
New rule beget
Foreigners pass.

When the dog’s free
From charms of boss
Suffered weight loss
Makes self hungry.

But, its puppies
Away from thee
Fills their tummy
Return booties.

When stocks will store
Wisely by host
Future’s not lost
New things explore.

How dare you enjoy my painful agony?!
Deliver me now or you’ll regret ****** me!

My ******, your abominable sadism will cost the life of thee
I’m not joking! You will pay dearly to me
After this your elation, you will cry certainly!

Ah! Sebastian, go tell our soldiers what’s happening to me
Tell them that I am writhing painfully
In the clasp of this octopus so yucky!

Oh! Flounder, go tell our king his son’s calamity
Tell him to make haste in rescuing me
Or I’ll shrink into pieces if you don’t come promptly

Ah! King Triton, my father, rescue me speedily
Ride on the torrents of the sea
To retrieve this so pitiful me

Oh! King Triton, aren’t my eyes tricking me?
Is there a mirage under the sea?
Is that you, my father, who I see?

Oh! Flounder, is that our king in reality?
Gracious! My hero is here! What a relief to me?!
Deliver me now from this agonizing cruelty!

Oh! Sebastian, have you also brought our whole army
To bring down the savage & maniac enemy?
At last! Sealed now is the fate of me!

My ******, your chastisement has come so aptly
Embrace now the prize of your debauchery
Taste our retribution in fullest intensity!

Detach me from the clutches of these tentacles so slimy

Feet get hurt while tending sheeps

Behold the Philippine Eagle, King of Birds!
The tallest eagle, terror of monkey herds
Its crest stands tall like a rooster on the roll
Hear its vibrant, authoritative call
Like a mythical griffin, it has the cover of a lion
That’s why in our nation it’s called “Haribon”.

Discovered by a man from United Kingdom
The faithful, monogamous Haribon (King of Birds) is only from
The Philippines, my country…a valiant country
First known to Europeans in our year of gallantry
When our national hero, Rizal, was brutally slain
By our first conqueror – the kingly Spain

This glorious bird is our monument of courage
A living emblem of our struggle for golden age
Its dignified countenance on our coin chiseled
So splendid & adorable like a handsome young man muscled
The starring on our national basketball team’s logo
This is our national bird – adore, preserve & lo!

Warm and radiant like Renaissance Art
More than sensation of intimate care
All I want is to keep those in my heart

A glistening chalice of sweetest wine
Better than all the purest cider
All I want is to treasure these in my mind

Dreams and hopes we had established
Created me a strange blazing heat
Mightier than I had ever wished
All I want is to restore these in my spirit

All I want is to have
These goodness God has given me
I want all of these just
Like I want this simple poetry!

Looks familiar but
Do not know its name

Who live by in there
Or just a planter
Folk or foreigner
Don’t know who planted

About to enter

Where we bought some goods
About 3 o’clock
On way to the wharf

Just in front the shop
Selling souvenirs

To strengthen the throne of our governor
And in his domain to accept me once more

For when I have left from his secure
On my quest for a greener pasture
I had carelessly bitten their enemy’s lure

Oh God to You I sincerely pray
To raise up ABS-CBN like GMA
And their big pipz to me shall never play

For I accused them of being unfair
By having with a party a something affair
I hope to that matter they’ll put no more care

Oh God to You I truthfully entreat
To set Liberal Party where no one can beat
And that from me they’ll never retreat

For when I tried to abandon them
And acted as a rebel with mayhem
I’ve proven I can‘t live without their tandem

Oh God to You I firmly beseech
To make PNoy’s regime remarkably rich
And the Straight Path no one shall breach

For when I campaigned against him not to be our king
It was all propaganda, personal there’s nothing
I was just in my career a newly hatched birdling.

Forgive me if we weren’t on the same route
Can’t blame you for your…ah?...uhm?...doubt

In painful agony being condemned
Beaten, battered, stunned & slammed

Crowned with thorns of royal malice
Scourged at the pillar of public displease
Carrying the cross to the realm of no peace

Who is the devil’s advocate?
Who is willing to reprobate?
Who planted so much hate?
Whose vengeance cannot wait?

Lick my blood…it’s so tasty

May be pretty, may be ugly
Care I? It’s not anybody
It’s me. It’s mine. Me’s mine only!

My body, the devil, is he
Glutton, sloth, selfishness all dear
My body, the angel, is thee
Abide law, goodness try adhere!

Protrude long horns of lust & dirt
Delight the world, hate discipline
Glow halo of heavenly mirth
Morality makes soul serene!

I am born with halo and horns
I am half-angel, half-demon!
My heart and mind: roses with thorns
Bees and worms, lo, behold, anon!

I’m growing with conscience and id
They come together within me!
Good and bad, each other they rid
Makes me bright and makes me gloomy!

Yet, however detest them both
They dwell together in one roof
Day butterfly and evening moth
I’m either they, there’s no need proof.

I’m one of two – the good and bad
This thing I can’t honestly lie!
The irony my body had
Have and will have, I can’t deny!

Testament:
The eyes that
read the Bible vast
are the same eyes that
watches lust!

The lips to Lord that
sings praises
are the same lips that
cast curses!

The limbs that
toil for survival
are the same limbs that
do brutal!

The brain that
thinks to help people
is the same brain that
plans evil!

The heart that
so loves everyone
is the same heart that
cares no one!

The body that
does good things
is the same body that
does bad things!

Whatever my body does?
