Poems
May 2014
Made in The Philippines
SMOKING MY LAST CIGARETTE IN MY POCKET
AFTER THIS, I’LL GO HOME WITH NO REGRET
DISREGARDED SUCCESS
DISHONORED VICTORY
NOW TELL ME IS THIS WORTH THE ENERGY?
DISGUSTED FACE OF EACH NATION
I’LL TRY TO BUY SOME TIME OR MAKE IT IN SLOW MOTION
JUST TO SAVE SOME HOURS
BEFORE WE GO TO WAR
THEIR BATTLE CRY “THIS TERRITORY IS OURS”
WE YELL BACK “THIS ONE IS OURS”
TICKING OF THE CLOCK TURNED TO MINUTES
AND NOW WE ARE SECONDS AWAY
THEY CALLED IT “PARADISE”
I CALLED IT “THE DEMISE OF A PARADISE”
WE ARE ALL SLAVES BY HEART AND IN MIND
ENDLESS TUG OF WAR BETWEEN TAN AND JUAN
NEVER ENDING CLAIM
NEVER ENDING SHAME
STOP THIS NON SENSE AND
LET’S MAKE EVERYTHING AT EASE
LET US TAKE WHAT’S RIGHTFULLY OURS
AND TAKE WHAT’S LEGITIMATELY YOURS
WE SHARE THE SAME SKIN ALL I PRAY IS TO END THIS FEUD CLEAN
#peace
#respect
#unity
