politics ***** NATIONALISM- THE IDEOLOGY OF ABUSE
unfold the history
human killed human
blood for blood
for nation's sake
territorial integrity
sovereignty
patriotic pride
heroic honor
a legacy down to
generations to generations
for country's name
intuitive freedom
independent from
external will
politically economically
free from stranger's control
Quietly dangerous
if nationalism is being abused,
it creates another

sex ***** CHESS MONARCHY, SEDUCING THE QUEEN
Come play with me
My black horse
ready to abduct the
caucasian queen
as I double-tapped with
the totalitarian king
the unordained bishop
is cornered
meditating for a miraculous
pawn sacramental jihad
I jump thru horse riding
with my mighty armored knight
to capture the virgin queen
in ancient board monarch
out of illicit desire to own
the queen for my life

Birth Control Logic
Birth control is not anti-self-indulgence
not even depriving the
supreme gift of pleasure
Yes God allows people
to multiply on earth
Yet same God instructs
same people to subdue
and take control the multiplied population
Human needs need controllership
to take control is not merely
to control, to rule over populace.
to take control is taking control
the ultimate birth-making pleasure
to subdue perilous ballooning population
Birth control therefore is not
anti-self-indulgence
rather a noble submission

JOURNEY - to my journey
Who says life is a journey
not a destination
and man is the captain
of his fate
If life is a mere journey
heading towards its goal
and the goal itself
conceded life
it ceases its journey
If man is the captain
of his fate
then why some men landed
in a tragic shore
thus, what is known is the unknown
what is certain is the uncertainties
what is fix is the unfixable man's destiny

terrorism ***** MRT and LRT RIZAL BOMBING
Zooming
roaring
coming
falling not from sky
humming like bees
rushing-hour
a city train, it's a metro rail transit
passing
rail road track
along EDSA
goes to and fro
escaping from traffic jam
curing headache commuters
quick halt
dropping
snatching token passengers
then buzzing
zooming falling not from sky
it is the city MRT rushing - hour city train
passing by malls, galleria, shrine

bloodline ***** MOTHER'S DAY TANDEM
Whether spinning backward
circling steadily on time
moving rapidly into the future
still there is no other
most sentimental and
sensational tandem
of human life long relationship
than mother-son bonding
and this awesome epistle
share on this mother's day attachment
continuity
through emotional verses
though written in different stroke and form
unlike ordinary letter
from another tounge
another shadow
from darkest moment
and unstinting sunshine of courage
still this epistle manifests

the now today will be the
yesterday of the incoming tomorrow

politics ***** RAP FOR YOUR RIGHTS!
as inspired by Bob Marley reggy songs
Stand up for your rights!
either this line is
a song being sung
a rap being rapped
an expression being expressed
a ballad by ballader
a verse by preacher
a slogan by freedom fighter
a human rights philosophy
an exhausted disgusting make-believe
militants subversive fellow's
exploited rights
