Munting Kahilingan



Katulad ko ay isang yagit sa gitna ng daan
Ulilang lubos akong palaboy sa lansangan
Ang tahanan ko ay sementadong kagubatan
Bubong nito ay ulap, sahig ay lupang inaapakan


Kung ako’y pagod na sa maghapong kahirapan
Ako’y naglalaro sa iyong dalampasigan
Mga alon mo’y ginagawa kong duyan
Kahit panandali, akin s’yang himlayan


Kay sarap pakinggan himig ng kalikasan
Musikang kay tamis hindi mapapantayan
Awit ng pipit kasabay ng hanging amihan
Dulot sa puso ko’y labis na kagalakan


Sa Poong Maykapal na aking dalanginan
Sana ay dinggin mo munting kahilingan
Mga haplos ni Inay muli kong makamtan
Mga awit ni Itay muli kong mapakinggan


Salamat Panginoon dalangin ko’y pinakinggan
Ako ngayon ay isang yagit tangay ng kalikasan
Subali’t bakit idinamay pa buong sambayanan
Wala tuloy naghatid sa aking huling hantungan


Kung sino man sa inyo ang nakakarinig
Hinaing at taghoy ng munti kong tinig
Kaunting tulong ninyo huwag sanang ipagkait
Sa mga ulilang naiwan sa dusa at pait…

Democracy Suspended

Some members of the do-nothing Congress
tried their best to finally do something
to repeal the healthcare law
Oxymorons they are who think
they are above the law
Passing a house resolution
that would prevent the majority
from stopping government shutdown
against a single privileged House leader
“Democracy is suspended,” cried my representative
I said mockery of the law is travesty of justice!

Woe to those politicians
who can see, but are blind to the people’s needs
who can hear, but are deaf to their loud protests
who are able and willing, yet are crippled
to do anything for their welfare.
Gone are the days of the statesmen
who put their ambitions and self-interests behind
for the sake of their solemn oath
to serve their countrymen.

What I learned from physics long ago:
“For every action, 
there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
I also believe, applies in politics
because whatever those nanodicks are doing,
backfired through their egoistic minds
I wonder if there are consequences if any
against their giddy acts
threatening economic security 
and debt ceiling breach
Seditious conspiracy comes to mind! 

Tick-tock, tick-tock goes the clock
the wolves are hidden in sheep clothing
trying to manipulate the law of the land
to satisfy the needs of their dickhead supporters
and not the interest of their constituents
They gain nothing with their selfish acts
but the wrath of their non-essential employees
So called non-essentials 
that’s why they are furloughed
What an irony!
They work hard for their money
efficiently and diligently everyday
What they can accomplish for a day
can’t be matched by the bickering
of their chosen representatives
for the duration of their terms.

Tick-tock, tick-tock…the clock stopped
The non-essential employee was not around
to rewind its hands
Suddenly everyone is watching,
anxiously waiting—
 when is the clock going to start ticking?

Pork Barrel Scandal (acrostic poem)

(Photo by: newsinfo.inquirer.net)


Plunderers of the nation’s wealth—
     Organized and government sanctioned
       Robbed the taxpayers’ money and trust
  Karma’s bad omen lurks in the dark!

      Bogus non-government organizations
Accused of ten billion pesos scam
  Release the ill-gotten wealth or die
         Real brains behind, no conscience at all
                     Every poor citizen bared to his/her naked soul
              Lord Almighty, please hear their prayers!

 Syndicated crimes of days gone by
      Compare not to this decade-old scam
            Allegedly committed by public officials, 
               Napoles and other conniving partners…
                   Damn you all corrupt and dirty politicians
       Accusations means nothing at all
               Let’s cut the devils’ horns and tails!
