Seriously Libel : Just Some Thoughts

I close my eyes So I can not see I close my ears So I can not hear I shut my mouth So I can not speak I pinch my nose So I can not smell The awful fragrance This government tries to emit I peel my skin So I can not feel Thyself falling away Thyself torn apart We were supposed to head onwards But how? If we're looking backwards But not forward They said they didn't like dictatorship But why?Why is it that we don't have freedom The freedom to speak The freedom to tell who you are The freedom to tell what you are You are all arrogant bastards You of who speak democracy Brought tyranny to us You who opposed martial law Brought it back Is this really the way? The way you wanted to lead us The "tuwid na daan" you were talking about Maybe you are just dumbfounded Or maybe you are just dumb? I rate you 2 out of 10 At least you got 2 Not 1 Pls do comment. Pls... TAT

Thanks for all the warm welcomes for this libelous Poem. I wrote this on the verge when the Phil. is trying to apply the cyber crime law which is very unjust to all of the Filipinos. Good Day people
