Face mask

pagbaling sa lingid na baliktanaw

sakal ang kumpol na rosas
di namalayang pagaspas ng langit,
pagsayaw ng hangin
at pagbalandara ng ilaw sa aking mga mata.

teka mali, mali ang aking pagyakap

na tanging harang lang niya
ang dudamadampi sa aking mukha
di ako makahinga
teka mali pala talaga
bakit nadagdagan pa?
teka tama pa ba ito?
Uy, kamusta ka?
tara usap tayo.

sa paggamit guyuguyumos
nakakabalisa sa pagpikot
ng bawat linen na humihibla
panid sa pagsasalita
naghahabulang baga ng katawan
napatigil nalang sa pagpikit.

kaya pa ba?
di batid kung buhay ang nakasalalay
teka tama na siguro
oo, tama na sigurong
na may nakahambalang sa mukha
di man kakomportable
teka tama na yun.
 orange and lemons

all these harsh times

all these cried moments
all these unforgettable scenery
are all these even the truth?
nah, not even a perk of a fly
is this enough? wdym?
chasing goodbye,
enough is beautiful
beautiful is enough
is enough is everything,
or everything will end into nothing

missed parts into masterpieces

orange and lemons
it might be
memory of the wind
remember these goodbyes
parting into unbreakable truth
hello, tomorrow don’t go
don’t even wave into my pain
sound of winter will hear
to the mourn of orange
from range of lemons
into catastrophic harmonies
hello, goodbye
orange
lemons
are you even real?
 Foe of life
all my life
has been spent in chains
I have never been happy
always shackled to some dream
that just seems to evade me
it seems this world just weighs
so heavy on my heart
I find it hard to cope
with the way that everything is
run
it's wrong
people are wrong
and they know the way they are
living is wrong
but still they persevere
they continue in this way
and attempt nothing that could
make a change
it kills me
I feel so alone
so isolated
I do not fit in in the town I was
born
I am nothing like these people
their meaningless lives bore me
I simply can not fit in because
everything just seems so
hypocritical
people all just seem so fake
At this stage I do not even wish
to be like them
I couldn't even give in if I tried
they physically repulse me
friends lie
foes lie
politicians lie
managers lie
teachers lie
parents lie
siblings lie
men lie
women lie
everywhere you look
there is a veil
everything so clouded in deceit
from lies that parents tell their
children to protect them
just another year of innocence
to lies in the form of empty
promises some lousy
government makes
when really all they are doing is
adding buck in to their bank
Human Beings Lie
shamelessly
and without remorse
they lie to further themselves
and noone else
greed and power clouds even
the most sound of judgement
it is an illness reserved merely
to man
do you see such rot in the
animal kingdom?
is a dog dishonest?
it is not within their nature
they do not have the chip inside
their framework
that human beings have
and throw around so
effortlessly
how can people live
with such a sickness underfoot
such a deadly pox
seeping in our souls
societies built
on such shoddy foundations
someday surely must fall?
I'l push
without thought or remorse
let their castles fall
let injustice crumble
like the walls we have built
around us
in an attempt to put us on a
pedestal
but instead we have just got
lost
people are being crushed
from weight they never asked
for
being put upon their shoulders
from poverty
from hardship
from pain
years and years of pain
man has inflicted on one
another
and continue to inflict each day
 read the news
at any time
******
****
poverty
famine
racism
sexism
homophobia
all these civil rights
being trampled in to the
ground
being kicked while they sleep
pain pain pain

if human being has the power

to cause so much pain
so much hardship
so much injustice on one
another
then it surely has the power
to begin to right these wrongs
to make a difference
it is goal worth fighting for
worth dying for
because deep within my heart
of hearts I know
I am not really living as we are
