Best Marcos Poems

You knew you were going to die. 1
And yet you came, thinking no matter how insane,
the man on the seat of power would never want you dead
… it would be too much on his head.

And so you came, and there in the brightness of the...

“… The 1986 revolution in the Philippines … brought an end to the martial law imposed by Marcos’ regime in 1972, and saw the accession to power of the first woman president, Cory Aquino.”

Freedom songs of militant optimism
Reigned with victorious patriotism
Liberty shouting spirit of volunteerism
Vanquishing...

It was like a whisper- 
My wife delivered the sad news- 
"Your grandfather was dead."- 
And so he was- 
Her eyes was awfully sad- 
Touched me gently on my back- 
He was old- 
The time I started to noticed him around- 
He was a relic-...

Wide World of Sports televises a political assassination
from San Marcos, a tiny Latin American nation.
When the president dies, a dictator comes into position.
He takes complete control, and wants to subdue opposition.

Introducing Fielding Mellish: a product tester from New York.
This guy is sex-starved, and a completely...

soft flames flickered offshore
Timucuan tribal campfires
luring Menendez’s armada

Feast Day of St. Augustine 1565
Spanish settlers rowed covertly to shore
more than 600 torches ushered in a new era of light

torches turned to gaslights
hanging yet today in a city of artists
where street singers hope you’ll look their way

I stood 
at the century-old gate 
of my high school Alma mater
on Sunday morn last summer;
Excited as if I had a date.

I saw 
people passing by; 
The old folks recalled me, 
Yes, they recalled me with glee.
And I humbly knew why. 


I gazed 
at the...

A lady I knew called Griselda
Collected shoes just like Imelda*
But she’d such cheesy feet
When she walked down the street
Folk secretly called her Ismelldya!

*Imelda Marcos owned at least 1200 pairs of shoes



NB

After being on the site for over 7 years people are well aware of my...

Now which ones can I choose
Imelda Marcos I'll call
Now my backs to the wall
I've got the picking shoes blues...

There once was a man from San Marcos
Came home to a strange pile of carpet
Didn’t know what it was,
Scratched a chin full of fuzz,
And said, “P’raps I’ll take it to market”...

When I think of pies
I think of my son Kev,
when it comes to baking pies
he is a master chef,
when I think of pies
I think of my younger sister Eileen,
my Dads nickname for her
was "Pies" when she was 2 or 3,
when I think of pies
I think...

Healing
Enchanting eye's covering solid ground
beg
beg me to stay
hope
hope me to see you rise
sweet manipulating abilities
much to do, much to do
for one day
too much weight on one man
tormented mind never walk straight
black feather's dove's are leaving behind
controled by fate, i never realize your not there

Seeing you...

No Imelda Marcos, she,
One good pair of shoes for me,
Plain, flat, sensible, black,
No sexy high heels, alack,
But I can walk where I want to be,
One good pair of shoes for me....

Battle
By: Marcos Vasquez Jr.

Throughout our lives we go through many battles. 
Battles that determine your future or destiny.
They get harder and harder. So, you can just give up. 
You’re like the little engine that could, repeating “This is not the end, this is not the...
