Poem

What I am doing is not 
blind idealism as you call it.
It’s a just cause for my homeland. 
It is a fight for the sake of those I love: 
my children, grandchildren, parents, siblings
neighbours, my Tausug brethren who's
been suffering for so long. 

Oppression should not reign
in the land of peaceful people. 
I may not live longer in this world, 
and I know I will die as others do.
But this I say: I will fight for 
peace 'til my last breath

I fight for peace, but always in peace.
Nothing good can be achieved by raging war 
and countering war by war.
With violence comes only pain 
and death. This is not what I want.

Peace is as common as candies. 
Any person has the right to embrace peace.
Like my elders before me, I’ve been wanting 
peace. I want to taste even just a piece of it. 
Amid this war that’s seemingly endless
I see a glimpse of it. It exists, I know. 
We’ll find this piece of peace.
But only when we do so together,
in peace.


I love you peace.
Layag Sug!
