Now When It Comes To Weapons...
... That TRULY Threaten... !!!

Many Are DRAWN...
But What Can Be Called...

To Be The...

... GREATEST of Them All... !!!

But To Apply The Word... “ GREAT “...

ISN’T Quite What Relates...
To Weapons Displayed...
That Cause HURT And Give PAIN... !!!

So This Piece of Wordplay...
Will Look Into Weapons...
That Employ The BRAIN... !!!
And Others That STRENGTHEN...

How POWERFUL Folks...
Now Keep People CONTROLLED... !!!

So That Weapons Like These...
RESTRICT Our Human Breed... !!!

Just Like Technology...
Is Doing... CURRENTLY... !!!

And How People Who Lead...
Use These Weapons To KEEP...

The Masses In Zones...
Where Their Weapons Take Hold...
Like A... Viral Disease...
That Locks Down The Streets... !!!

WITHOUT Using Armies...
UNTIL It Is Deemed...
That We All NEED VACCINES... !!!

Do You See What I Mean... ???

Some Weapons Are CLEVER...
And Hit Like BAD Weather... !!!!

Or Dodge Like Mayweather...
When Facing Vendettas...
Brought By Boxing Fellas... !!!

And Then There’s Agendas...
That SPIN Just Like Blenders...
With Weapons CONTENTIOUS...
Like... VICIOUS Contenders... !!!

And What About Gender... ?

When It’s USED Like A Weapon...
That Nowadays THREATENS...
... Freedom of Expression... ?!?

A Weapon That’s Spreading...
Like GLOBAL INFECTIONS... !!!!!!

You SEE There Are Themes...
That Infuse Poetry...
With Thinking That’s DEEP... !!!

A WEAPON I USE...
To Speak On Issues... !!!

But Now See That Views...
That Deal In The TRUTH...

THREATENS And Lessens...
Your Chance To Get Through...
To Feed Masses Who...
Are Constantly Fuelled...
By Media Tools And Industry Crews...

Whose Weapons Are FOOLS...
Who’ll... Distribute Tunes...

That... AREN’T All That Good... !?!

But Are Given A PUSH...
By MARKETING CROOKS...
So The Masses Get HOOKED...
And Concerts Are Booked...

Because of The Way...
That Their Songs Get REPLAYED...
Day After DAY...
On Mainstream Airwaves... !!!

You See NOTHING'S As Straight...
As People... Like To CLAIM... !!!

When It Comes To The Names...
Who Are Constantly Seen...
Because They... ENTERTAIN... !!!

RATHER Than CHALLENGE Brains...
Through The Art That They Make...

CONTROL Is The Weapon...
That REALLY DICTATES... !!!

What It Is People Say...
In... Various Frames...

It’s A POWERFUL Tool...
That A Gun CAN Reduce... !!!

But CANNOT Take Down...
When CONTROL Is What’s Used...
To Give People CROWNS...
Or To RULE In Courtrooms... !!!

Which Now Leads Me To Courts...
A Weapon That Breeds...
... Many CONTROVERSIES... !!!

When People Walk FREE...
Or RIG... PRESIDENCIES... !!!

Because of Whose Given...
Supreme Court Positions... !!!
A Weapon That Meddles...
On... MULTIPLE Levels... !!!

When POWER Is Used...
To Distort And ABUSE... !!!

The Truth To Confuse...
Or To Change A Decision...
Like... WHO Gets To RULE... ?!?

And WHO Gets Positioned...
To SET The Conditions...
of How This World Runs... !!!

A Weapon That’s HUNGRY...
And Feeds OFF of MONEY... !!!
That... CONTROLS BILLIONS... !!!

A POWER That’s GREATER...
Than... ANY BIG GUN... !!!!!!

Or Bomb That Is Dropped...
To Aid An INVASION...
To CORRUPT Governments... !!!

Its QUITE An EQUATION...
That FUELS THIS Question...
When It Comes To Weapons... !?!

Because MANY Are Drawn...
And Leave People Forlorn...
But The Power of Thought...
And Sway In The Courts...
Like... MASS Distribution...
Breeds POWERFUL Movements... !!!

So Now In CONCLUSION...

Now Corona Has Called...
For Freedoms’ DOWNFALL...

Could BIO WARFARE...
Be What People Declare... ???

To Be The WEAPON...

That’s....

“ The GREATEST of Them All ? “
Now that humanity has, SO MANY, it's an interesting question, that asks, which one is the most powerful, or dangerous !?!

It's strange
How the myths
Tell of reality in such parallel
Speaking, preaching of a greater force
When in fact that force is found within
When we truly realize the simple
Yet utterly complex truths

Nothing is set in stone, but in mind
We are in control of our own actions
Our choices domino, and affect others
Even in ways we could not possibly imagine

Life is the ultimate gift;
The fact of not knowing what comes
After we have passed on and our soul departs
Makes our lives all the more meaningful

The meaning of life
Is as simple and complex as that;
Life
To breathe, to move, to learn,
To listen, to grow, and to know

Face the hardships,
Endure the pain,
Learn from failure
Learn from the pain
To become stronger
To become better
Than those before you

To create a better world
Or perhaps see what lies before you
Heal the damage that has been done
Heal the broken bones of the world
To regrow, to be stronger than before
For life to once again thrive
Just the way it should

That is the truth of life that I have realized over time. Though I am young, I have learned much more about life than I realized.

Days turn into nights
An endless labyrinth of
Empty weeks and months
With no semblance of life

Years go by, memories not made
Everything STOPS...
People, Planes & Countries too
To bear the wrath of Animalcules
Woke up feeling this

she gave me a box of matches
small enough to rattle between
two of my fingers

in the dark, we sat alone
striking them
and like a magic trick
the light would burst forth
and scatter like laughter
fill the empty breeze
with something warm

we watched the flames
alive and changing
let them grow and crawl
right until they nipped
the tips of our fingers

we’d shake them out
just before we got
burned
watched the smoke
rise and sway, smelled
so sweet, powerful
as the last light
slowly faded
like falling asleep
or turning to stone

over and over
this was transformation
and it was in our hands
over and over
until the box no longer rattled
and before us lay
a pile of ash
a mountain
a change we had caused
thanks for reading

Bagamat dumadaplis lamang sa atin
Ang mga palaso ng kalaba’y
Hindi moog ang ating mga damdamin
At hindi rin bulag ang ating mga pananaw
Sa hayag na pagsasalitan ng mga balang ligaw.

Gaya ng durungawang nakasilip
Ay bukas na rin ang ating mga isipan
Sa mga di kanais-nais na mga patibong
Na ilang ulit inilagan sa katahimikan.
Bagkus, ang mga ito’y nagmistulang mga laruang papel
Na madaling napunit at bumigay
Buhat sa walang awang pamimihasa
Ng mga ahas at linta sa lipunan.

Tila sila’y nakasilid na lamang
Sa kahong hindi de-baterya
Habang tayo’y nagsisilipat
Sa tuwing nagsusulputan ang sari’t saring palatastas.

At habang tayo’y nananatiling panatag
Buhat sa ating mga kinatitirika’t kinalalagyan,
Kasabay naman nito ang pagyurak sa mga dangal
Buhat sa mga ideolohiyang kumikitil sa mga pangarap
At nagsisilbing diktador sa kani-kaniyang mga tahanang
Wala nang makita pang ibang dahilan upang tumahan pa.

Ang mga luhang hindi natin makayang punasa’y
Nagmimistulang mga tinik na lamang sa’ting mga pagkatao.
Syang susulpot at tutusok sa pakiramdam nating
Minsan nga’y malapit lamang tayo sa isa’t isa
At sana’y kaya nga nating patahimikin
Ang walang himpil na pag-usok sa kanilang ipinagbabaka.

At sa ating paghimlay sa ating mga kumot
Ay sabay din silang mangungulila
Sa mga akap at lambing ng kanilang mga mahal sa buhay
At hihilinging huminto na lamang ang mga sandali’t
Makatakbo sila’t makalisan nang walang nakakapansin.

At the end of the day it only comes down to how proud you are of yourself. Of how you picked yourself up every time you fell. It's not about how minuscule or gigantic something you've gone through is as compared to others, rather, how only you and you alone would have experienced that magnitude. It is impossible to compare yourself to another, every human's timing is different. It's all about the determination and willpower, the fire in your bones and the steady, grounding thoughts in your mind that drove you to become softer, yet heal your wounds and to stand taller and walk with pride. It's all about the lessons you learnt from every single instance when this dreary and somewhat bleak world pushed you down. You are not a graveyard of your failed attempts, you are not a cemetery of things and people that left you alone, you are the whole ocean, filled with a plethora of potential and goodness, that the whole world gazes at and admires.
To whoever needs this reminder.

i’ve always admired
the existence of flowers
each one
uniquely beautiful
like every person on earth

and somehow
the more i climb,
the more flowers
i get to see
Oil and vinegar,
Sugar and spice;
everything looks nice.
Your wit and charm,
sends long walks of
harmony into a world
of a never ending
façade.
Put's on his best smile,
but he will always be
a broken man.
Stay's at home,
I try my best to
console him and he
Put's his head high,
and thinks no one will
notice.
On the way, he imagines
reactions, that someday
he will have a perfect world,
made the way he wants it.
Making plans for Mikey,
to make sure he's a happy man.
