Connor Constrictor
crept through the carpet.
Marianne Marmot
marched through the market
singing, “Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
Boys and girls join in singing,
“Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
Tutu Toucan
turned to and fro
while Wally Walrus
watched in slow mo.
Singing, “Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
Boys and girls join in singing,
“Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
Kami Chameleon
chewed a crumpet
and Tommy Tortoise
tuned up his trumpet
playing, “Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
Boys and girls join in singing,
“Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
All the animals
clamored for more,
more of the funny
musical score
singing, “Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”
Boys and girls join in singing,
“Hi hey hi hey hi hey ho!”

Sa kanilang mga anino,
Kami’y kanilang itinago
Lagi kami ang sinusuyo
Na manatili lang sarado
Na dating walang pumapanig
Noong kami ay nalulupig
Ngunit ngayon, kami’y titindig
At sana’y kami ay marinig
At bakit naman kami matitinag?
Dahil ba kami ay babae lamang?
At bakit kami pa ang maduduwag,
Sa lupaing kami rin ang nag-silang?
Kailan pa nagging sukatan
Ang aming mga kasarian?
At ang taglay na kakayahan
Na ipagtanggol ang lipunan
Mag-dadamit, mag-hahayag ng malaya
May lakas ng loob at di nahihiya
Dahil di na nila kami madadaya
Sa pag-laban namin ng aming hustisya
Tatayo kami at titingala
Sa pag-tibay ng paniniwala
Ika’y babaeng dinadakila,
Na di na muling maalila.

Salamat po, Ka Eduardo,
Sa inyo pong pagmamahal;
Inaakay n’yo ang tao
Patungo sa bayang banal.
Kahit mapagod, mapuyat
Ay hindi n’yo alintana;
Ang mahalaga'y matupad
Ang tungkulin n’yo sa Ama.
Ang Iglesia’y tinitipon
Sa lahat halos ng dako;
Panganib ay sinusuong,
Iniikot itong mundo.
Dama ng mga pinili
Ang inyo pong pagsasakit;
Kami‘y hindi masasawi,
Kaligtasa’y makakamit.
Walang iba pang hangarin
Kundi para sa Iglesia;
Nagtagumpay ang mithiin
Sa inyo pong pangunguna.
Sa inyong pangangasiwa,
Puso po ang nangungusap;
Kami ay di nagsasawa,
Pagsamba ay laging hanap.
Pasasakop kaming lubos
Sa Lider Pangkalahatan;
Kami na mga tinubos,
Pagsunod ay di iiwan.
Tutuparin ang tungkulin,
Totoo hanggang sa wakas;
Tatapusin ang takbuhin,
Pag-asa namin ay wagas.
Kayo po ay aming mahal,
Habang kami’y may hininga;
Ang inyo pong pangangaral
Sa amin ay mahalaga.
Dalangin namin sa Diyos,
Patnubayan kayong lagi;
Sa biyaya ay mapuspos,
Kalusuga’y manatili.
Ang Diyos ay pinupuri,
Kami’y Iglesia Ni Cristo;
At nagagalak po kami,
Salamat po, Ka Eduardo.

Kahirap! Kahirapan ang dahilan
Kung bakit hindi maulad ang kabahayan.
Kabahayan ng pinas ay pinabayaan
Kurapsyon at pandaraya ay ayaw lubayan!
Gera sa ibang lugar ay kapabayaan
Kapabayaan ng mga unang nag silbi sa bayan.
Ang dami patay at naghihirap dahil sa kaguluhan
Na hindi matapos tapos dahil sa pinaglalaban!
Pinaglalaban na sa tingin ng iba ay tama
Kahit na dahas ang unang pinadama
Sa mga inosenteng humihiling sa ama
Na sana matapos na ang matagal na gera.
Droga sa ibang lugar ay laganap
Buhay ng iba ay lubhang hirap
Sapagkat kanilang utak gusto ay sarap
Sarap na kahit kailanman hindi matutumbasan ng maayos na pangarap.
Oh mahal kong inang bayan
Kami po ay tulungan
Sapagkat kami ay lubhang pinabayaan
Ng mga nakaupong mapang mata sa bayan!

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent- 28
These vain Little Men who strut on the World Stage
Come together again the twenty-first time
Can this polluted earth be saved at this stage
The World is yours mine must not be held hostage
By men who pout vapid irate words as mime
These vain Little Men who strut on the World Stage
Far more than kami-kaze terror carnage
Melting ice-cap Poles promise Fire Next Time
Can this polluted earth be saved at this stage
Watch how for profit wild fires worldwide rage
While leaders read ghosted-scripts to waste our time
These Little Men who strut on the World Stage
Earth’s shield pierced by lethal Sun’s rays wreak damage
Mutate living organisms make rot clime
Can this polluted earth be saved at this stage
Would such men who care only for polls image
Remember mighty empires last not a rhyme
These vain Little Men who strut on the World Stage
Can this polluted earth be saved at this stage

Lately, it's been memories
and sleepless nights.
My bed, our bed;
these sheets smell like you.
I swear I hear your voice
at three am, and I'm
awake for another night.
I almost called you,
but I talked myself out of it.
Sometimes I have to remind
myself to breathe. "Just breathe."
I have to remind myself that
the world isn't over, and that
my shoulders have carried more
weight than that of the pain
you have caused me.
I can heal.
I meed to remember that
yesterday is gone, no longer
existent. I can't keep
dwelling on a past that
doesn't dwell on me.
I can do this.

Little Shrine,
Half hidden in the trees,
Stark branches and stark stone,
On this cold winter’s day,
You are all alone.
Rough cut stone steps in the side of the hill,
Lead you away from the everyday,
Into the woods,
With stone lanterns to light the way.
I wish it was summer,
That I might see,
The porcelain stone foxes under sun-dappled leaves,
What an image!
Tiny shrine at the top of the hill,
Almost forgotten,
In winter’s chill,
Alone with the gods.
Japanese kami,
What might you be,
To live all alone in the forests and trees,
With only two lanterns and a shrine,
Proof that you might be?

Laying on this floor,my cheeks pressed hard against the cold cement,..vivid memories of my
fall. But what would i prefer,this cold floor or the dizzyng heights from which i stumbled? My
nerves ache and in my ears rings my heart beat,louder at each thought.. But akwardly i do
find solace on this cold hard cement,its physicality and harshness comfort me,atleast its
tangible or maybe atleast i can feel its lasting presence. Actualy i could lay here for a
while.,in this state of limbo..drifting between thoughts,basking in my brokeness,comforting
my paranoia. Maybe here my the kami of my rebirth will find me.

Your beauty astounds me,
your voice enchants me,
And i'll never hear a sound so sweet,
Until I depart for Hades shore,
Your voice holds me like a statue,
it lilts so soft and gentle,
And it would drive me crazy to,
to never hear another word from you,
But whist destracted by your voice another feature attracts my eye,
My heart began to sigh,
as i looked to your direction,
your curls cascaded down your face,
and I at once was touch by grace,
as pure beauty radiated from your face,
and as your eyes caught mine,
I was at once lost in space and time,
and never once in my whole life have i been like that before,
so if truth be told and Helen launched 1000 ships,
i belive you could launch 10,000 more,
and in my poetic heart will your beauty live forever more
