The 2nd Period of the Independent Era of Philippine History:
Marcos Regime
The only Philippine President elected for another term
Ferdinand Marcos' grip to power was ostensibly firm
But the 2nd & 3rd terms of his presidency
Was engulfed with civil unrest & leftist insurgency
In the so-called “First Quarter Storm”, thousands protested
Separatist groups, MNLF & CPP-NPA, were founded
There was a bombing in the rally of the opposition
High government officials encountered attempts of assassination
The fruit of such anarchy was the Martial law declaration
To save the republic and address the threats of insurrection
Marcos imposed an “iron hand” over the entire nation
There were massive reforms like the new Constitution
Grand edifices were erected like the Manila Planetarium & the PICC
Built were widespread housings, schools, hospitals, roads, bridges & the LRT
Despite these vast projects & accomplishments for our country
The yellows treated Marcos as our nation's enemy
This is the 2nd Period of Independent Era – Marcos Regime
The longest rule by a Filipino President from glory to grim
3 terms of great achievements & gruesome resentments
God taught the Filipinos a good lesson for our next presidents.

Christmas Future
The phantom dressed in black, hovered by the fireplace
Year of our Lord 2030 was closing out at last
Closing with the shop with New Year’s business
My friends are here with me for festivities and champagne
The spirit intruded our conversations and celebration
Took me rudely with a skeletal hand with no excuses
Abruptly pinched my wrist and spirited me through the window
I told him I’m in my 80’s, too old to fly, too young to die
He flew me any way, to the local cemetery plot in sad disgrace
My name was etched upon the cold rock face before me
I smiled, though knowing that was wrong to do
Since firing all my employees, with no word, no reason
To send them out to freeze at Christmas season
Is the reason I am here, in this awful mess
I smiled because the name upon the tombstone was not exactly mine
They misspelled my name, which is not a crime, but
That makes them idiots without a doubt
I guess I have one more year to live, correct?
Or until the end of time before I die to make things right
Since the government makes all tombstones in the region
We know how incompetent they can be
The spirit of Christmas future will have to find another job
He might start by learning how to spell
Along with government officials, before they send me off to hell

We had this lovely tiny house booked in Quebec City
but they canceled our reservation a little while back…
so we took that as a sign from the Gods of travel
and made reservations at Le Chateau Frontenac.
Le Chateau Frontenac sits like a castle on a hill in Old Quebec City
It’s been in movies and mentioned in many people’s memoirs…
It has hosted government officials, princesses, queens and movie stars
Let me digress a moment…
Before we left on this trip I bought this colorful bucket hat…
where on my head it has sat…
and I am proud to say I’ve received scores of compliments
on my little tie-dyed hat.
People of all shapes, sizes and colors…young or old…
can you imagine that
have made it a point to walk up to me and say…I love your hat.
On hiking trails, in elevators, in restaurants…
in bathrooms…walking by a pool
I’ve been told so many times…how my hat is very cool.
I’m not sure why but people seem to love it…
from in the country to the cities…from the mountains to the farms…
and their love has turned my little hat…into our lucky charm.
The latest example was when we arrived at Le Chateau Frontenac
“I love your hat!” The woman who checked us in said.
“It looks so good on you.”
Then after we talked with her about our trip…
she upgraded us to a room with a king sized bed…and a river view.
She acted like we were royalty…something we could never have foreseen…
treating me like I was a king and Deborah like she was a queen.
I like to think it’s been my charming personality and my smile
that all these people are reacting too…and looking at…
but as I sit in our room overlooking the St. Lawrence River…
I’m confident…it is my hat.
Cup Cake Insurrection
Evidence mounts as cup cakes bake in ovens
Camouflaged in chocolate brown
Revolutions start this way they say
Secured, metallic ready in tin pans waiting
375 degrees transformed
To something spongy to the touch
Perhaps we are over thinking this too much
Cup cakes are not the enemy, not out to get us
No one ever died of deliciousness I trust
Only a few pounds gained from wolfing down too many
Rising up while baking is not an uprising or revolt I'm told
They don't carry concealed weapons to my recollection
Or topple monarchies or kill government officials… I think
Topped with sugar icing, colorful sprinkles, innocent and happy
Deep inside I suspect strange things are happening
Cup cakes baked outside our country
Come here with unknown ingredients
Want citizenship with no visas
It is hard to keep the peace with foreign recipes
Cup cakes don't really understand our ways
While baking in tin pans
Flash floods came in a sudden
After few hours of torrential rain
Villages in towns submerged
Water rose so high…surged.
People stayed on their roofs
Waited for rescuers holding faith and hope
Teams of rescuers came less than an hour
To save everyone with all their powers.
People evacuated in safer places
Government officials sent foods for days
Relief goods and help came from the cities
A unified effort and cooperation with love and peace.
After few days , water slowly subsided
Some went home, others were relocated
Clean and clear up programs were established
Clogged drainages and canals were all fixed.
Many volunteers, both young and adult
Cleaned and planted more trees for better result
Proper waste disposal was implemented
Illegal logging and quarrying were strictly prohibited.
BACK IN THE LAB IN THE SIXTIES
WHEN LSD WAS ALL THE RAGE.
GENETICALLY MODIFIED BEINGS
APPEARED ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE.
OUT ON THE RANCH ON MONSANTO
A ROUND-UP OF SHEEPLE BEGAN.
THIS MY FRIEND IS A STORY
OF A VERY SECRETIVE PLAN.
TO ALTER THE HUMAN FREQUENCY
A GOAL SPACE ALIENS HAD IN MIND.
TO CREATE A HUMAN ZOMBIE
OVER A DISTANCE OF TIME.
TIME IS MEASURED IN DISTANCE
WHEN YOU THINK AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT.
TO CREATE AN ENTIRE UNIVERSE
IS POSSIBLE OVER NIGHT.
GENETICALLY MODIFY ORGANISMS
IS TO ALTER THE D N A.
ALIEN ASSISTED EVOLUTION.
IS A THEORY AS WE SAY
CREATING A HUMAN ZOMBIE
IS SCIENCE AT ITS BEST.
CONTROLLING THESE BREATHING CREATURES
IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TEST.
ONCE WE PERFECTED CLONING
EVERYTHING FELL INTO PLACE.
GENETICALLY MODIFIED BEINGS
WERE SENT INTO OUTER SPACE.
GALAXY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
TOOK PART IN THE INVESTIGATION.
OUTER SPACE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
WERE PART OF THE OBSERVATION.
GENETICALLY MODIFIED BEINGS,
RETURNED FROM OUTER SPACE.
AS GENETICALLY MODIFIED SOLDIERS
WHO CONTROL THE HUMAN RACE.
THE MODIFIED OR HUMAN ZOMBIE'S,
WHO WERE ONCE CONSIDERED PEOPLE.
ARE NOW ROUNDED UP IN CAMPS
AND OTHER WISE KNOWN AS SHEEPLE.
Injustice has a name!
Twenty years in prison, detained because he refused to kill
his fellowman in wartime, was against his conscience and will.
Twenty years in prison, arrested without real cause
freedom of conscience there, means nothing at all.
Twenty years in prison, not even charged with committing a crime
With the whole world watching, now they are running out of time.
Twenty years in prison, without even having had a trial
Without any human dignity, experiencing all that is vile.
Twenty years in prison, he's languishing in squalor
government officials not answering, they have no valor.
Twenty years in prison, even warned by the UN and others
but they keep on arresting even children and grandmothers.
Twenty years in prison, subsistence living, no healthy diet
what if it happened here, would everyone keep it quiet?
Twenty years in prison, the world says enough is enough!
Yes injustice has a name...it's called ERITREA!

Although government officials should take more action to tackle the homeless crisis in our country, individuals like you are making efforts in the right direction by providing assistance to those in need.
How do you feel when you see them, are you ashamed
Or angry?
In the south being homeless is illegal, to the politicians
They are an eyesore, a blight on the landscape.
Having to start over after they are jailed, truamatized over and over again.
As for me, I lived in my car for over three years, I now live with my eighty seven year old girl friend.
Living in fear when she passes away, I will again be homeless.
Suffering from autism I am terrified, my only option will then be suicide.
Government officials, chasing me
A peaceful Naked being dance on the street
Woke from a nightmare being chased by blind eyeballs draped in flags,
City on fire, smokestacks, meat trucks, doctors of insanity.
I came to a decision
Gonna stay here in my Naked skin
I don't think there is a promised land out there anymore,
Gonna stay here in Cap d' Adge, France.
I say some prayers that the children of the world have a future
Where Nudism is accepted and not shyed upon
I ponder to why the human species shy away from something they came with,
Humans keep making this same mistakes over and over.
Luckily in this era the hate just keeps getting lesser and lesser
But erring on side of the positive
Put out more awarness about the loving community of Nudists my fellow Nudist,
Put out more faith in Nudism as it liberates.
“Real leaders must be ready to sacrifice all for the freedom of their people.”
“A fundamental concern for others in our individual and community lives would go a long way in making the world the better place we so passionately dreamt of.”
“Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.”
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
“Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.”
“I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angles.”
“It always seems impossible until it's done.”
“Many people in this country have paid the price before me and many will pay the price after me.”
“Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.”
“Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will.”
“It is in the character of growth that we should learn from both pleasant and unpleasant experiences.”
“It is not our diversity which divides us; it is not our ethnicity, or religion or culture that divides us. Since we have achieved our freedom, there can only be one division amongst us: between those who cherish democracy and those who do not.”
“For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
“A critical, independent and investigative press is the lifeblood of any democracy. The press must be free from state interference. It must have the economic strength to stand up to the blandishments of government officials. It must have sufficient independence from vested interests to be bold and inquiring without fear or favour. It must enjoy the protection of the constitution, so that it can protect our rights as citizens.”
