For Mama…
You are above the rest
Your strength, the most dynamic
Your wisdom, the profoundest
You are my mom, unparalleled.
Singlehandedly you propelled us
To where we all are now
Beyond the abyss of poverty
And of hardship, you persevered.
You are your own person
Standing pat on your convictions
A woman hardened by privation
You shine even on your attrition.
So long Mama. May you have peaceful and smooth journey to the afterlife. I love you always.

“Truth shall set us free”
Acceptance frees us from guilt as no amount of denial can cover the mistakes we have committed. The saying “Truth shall set us free” is necessary to live a peaceful life.

How strong can a person be?
In the midst of oddity
In cruelty and betrayal
In the world where truth
Is hidden, evaded incessantly.
How strong can a person be?
Alone in darkness
Muted in silence
Muddled with hypocrisy
Drowned in temerity.
How strong can a person be?
When water flows freely
Gushing in deadens face
Gasping for breath, yelling
Where is peace, equality?
How strong can a person be?
Where only hope relies in Thee
At blinking stars and shining moon
To majestic rays seeping at dawn
And to flowers that bloom.
How strong can a person be?
When folded knees shake
And clasped hands moistened
With stiffened muscles
Heavy feet lift not a single step.
How strong can a person be?
An unanswered question
Like a myth, truth is unknown
How strong can a person be?
Relatively personal, no one can see.
It is sunny,
yet inside
pouring rain drains me
like wilted plant
I am soggy,
bereft with life
drowned in misery.
Endless stream
flows unceasingly
haunted by past, so uncanny;
like broken record
stocked, unmoved
plays repeatedly.
Strong wind, I pray passes
and drive, and swift
and take it away
break it to dust
spread like stardust
to nowhere it remains untouched.
Philippine Election
Even if the formal campaign period for the May 2022 presidential elections has not started, bickering between and among rival followers of the candidates are already heating up.
Charges and counter charges flood the social media, some below the belt, some outrageous, some repetitive, some funny, and some pure none sense.
There are even posts by people feeling authoritative, maligning others of their choices. This blatant display of hypocrisy erodes the value of democracy. Are they not aware that if they say that those who favor candidate other that their choice are stupid, that argument also applies to them?
Nobody, not even those who belong to the top social ladder nor the highly educated and intelligent individuals, has the monopoly and the authority to define and determine who is the best among the candidates.

I fly above the sky
Go beyond the eyesight
I sway and glide with the wind
And float among the clouds.
I cut through the blinding lights
Hurdle the searing heat
Slither along the bladed rays
And adeptly soar to life.
