rain of bombs fall from the sky
reign of terror, tears in their eyes
ancient battle that never dies
displacing millions, deafening cries

modern civilization, antiquated thinking
new age weapon, barbric traditions
incomprehensible complexities
pushes everbody to ignominy

why can't we live in tranquility?
why preach of ethnocentricity?
why suffer from the silence of ambiguity?
false pretensions, cathartic celebration.

as for us from an island nation
whose citizens where trap in indignation
for every OFWs trapped in Lebanon
we hope and we pray, for your safe evacuation

infidel encounter# 2

the greek bear her gift once more
food for the nightshift enamor
again like a bait, i accept
munched on the goodies before i melt

the centaur left his den
pretended they watched movies in bed
decibels pierce through walls
masking the noise, pornographic voice

armageddon? i kid thee not...

sa ulan PUMIKIT, ako'y singkit

nagpupumilit na imulat
matang pumipikit sa bigat
sa kwartong malamig
sa pagtulog nananabik

problema'y nasa opisina
maraming makakakita
siguradong may magsusumbong
parusa sa ulupong!

buhay - lakbay - sabay

kidlat na tumarak sa aking puso
kulog na kumalog sa aking pagkatao
alipin ng iyong alaala't gunita
ngiti mong nag-uudyok ng saya

sa aking paglalakbay
humiling na may makasabay
matagal na pagninilay
pag-asa'y puno ng lumbay

nung ika'y nasilayan
matang nagkatagpuan
damdami'y di maintindihan
kung ano nga bang patutunguhan

at landas nga'y nag krus ng daan
sa paglalakbay damdaming lumantay
sa agos ng batis dumalisdis
hampas ng along dagat, sa ati'y nagbigkis

surprise. surprised? surprise!

2 weeks ago a thought flew by me
it's crazy but for that you'll love me (assumption)
i told you i was going to see you
but you brushed it off thinking im crazy

yes, i am crazy and you are a luxury
the monetary cost of my addiction
cannot compensate with the abstraction
the memories we're building, pristine satisfaction
