SONNET TRIBUTE: JAN SANTINO C. MANDREZA

I once saw my Brother in a Mirror

Begged half-score on a Verse; Now it came True

And so it did with my Attitude falter

Neglected the Duty I had for you

This I wanted Gold. God was indeed Frustrate

For the Trailing Ignorance I commit

My "I" the Traitour; In me such self-hate

For Pop's Face-Memos I saw in Good Bid

I was wrong. If the Clock-Father can reverse

And mend my Riches to renourish you

The Ethyl on your Hair; The Lamp on your Nurse

And all Bumps mended on your Friendship true.

You are the Technocrat sworn to a Vow

That you Love me Un-Conditioned somehow.
