When Jacob fled from Laban’s house,
He went with everything he had.
With Laban off and shearing sheep,
He set his face towards Gilead.
It was while Laban was away
That Rachel did a thing most odd:
While packing for escape that day,
she pilfered Laban’s household gods.
When Laban found out they had left,
He mounted chase in swift pursuit,
O’ertook them, leveled charge of theft,
Demanded swift return of loot.
But Jacob raised protest, denied,
Invited him to search the tent.
Whoever stole would surely die.
(Not knowing Rachel’s ill intent)
So Laban searches, he finds naught
The idol hid between her legs.
“I cannot rise,” remains uncaught.
“The way of women,” how she begs.
At this, I thought, a question begs,
For Rachel felt a sense of shame,
An idol hid between her legs,
But do we likewise feel the same?
The idol ‘twixt the legs now, sex,
We glorify and lift on high.
We, full immune to shame’s effects,
No longer blush, see naught awry.
We flaunt it in the public square
For all to see, on full display
These things just better left unshared,
That shouldn’t see the light of day.
What lesson do we draw from this?
Perhaps it’s simply to remind
That, holding on, we are remiss;
Our idols, best, when left behind.
(from Genesis 31)

Ang Alamat ng Edi Wow
Bakit at paano nga ba
Na ang tawag sa
Kanilang papuring kantiyaw
Ay “Edi Wow”?
Gumawa nang maayos
Gawain ay natapos
Pero di masaya
Parang kulang pa
Natalo ang kaaway
Natamo ay tagumpay
Pero kulang pa
Parang di masaya
Kung inggit o suya
Huwag nang magsalita
Huwag kang plastik!
Better huwag umimik!
Kung di mapigilan ang kaplastikan
Lumayo ka nalang sa kinaiinisan
Kung di mo tanggap ung panalo niya
Idaan sa tama ang iyong protesta
Mangusap nang direkta
Kung tapat at tunay ka
Huwag idaan sa ganyan
Ang BOSSes mong talunan
“Kayo ang BOSSes ko” – cnong nauto?
Binaliktad mo pa ang mundo!
Maraming BOSSes laban sa'tin

*Alamat ng Kanilang mga Expressions
there was this game that we all played when we were little tots
we would pull off a flower's petals while saying, he loves me, he loves me not
but if we were to play this game in regards to ourselves
would we be honest in saying, I love me not, I love myself?
the act of self love is inferred in the word of God
to love oneself as God has loved you from the very start
for love is a verb it's an action projected towards a person, place or thing
but to love oneself what does it comprise of and what does it truly mean?
so if loving oneself is a given, why do people commit suicide?
if loving oneself is normal behavior, why do people have self-loathing inside?
are you in the loving zone? are you capable of loving at all?
are you in the loving zone and can you respond to God's call?
to love yourself as God loves you
to have a respect for yourself that comes shining through
now Jacob was in love with Rachel so for her hand he labored seven long years
but when it came time her father took advantage of Jacob
who was drunk on good cheer
Laban gave Leah to wife instead as she was his eldest daughter
Laban said this is our custom but for seven more years I'll give you the other
now Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah but no progeny did she give to him
but Leah unloved by her husband provided him with six healthy children
but God loved Leah as she was a devoted disciple of Christ
and that is why He blessed her with the gift to give life
never let the devil in your ears whisper any disbelief or doubt
love yourself as God loves you and it will somehow always work out
do i love me? do i love me not? that is the question in life
do i love myself with a passion like my Savior Jesus the Christ
now when God blesses you while you're in the loving zone
don't allow demonic influences to come between you and the Heavenly Throne
as it's all about the right relationships that you develop in this life
to love yourself, to love others and to have the love of Christ

Ang Alamat ng Buwis-Buhay
Bakit at paano nga ba
Na ang tawag sa
Kanilang parang nais mamatay
Gawain man o hindi ay “Buwis-Buhay”?
Kapag gawain mo ay delikado
Pauyam nila itong ikokomento
Parang sinasabing walang kwenta
Kahit mamatay ka pa
Gaya ng aking 2014 Social Experiment
Na educational ang intent
Pero andaming nagcomment
Na ipakatay pa rao ako to that extent
Buwis-Buhay nga! (nganga)
Bukambibig ng VICE na maGANDA
Sa mga kalahok na peligroso
Ang mga talent sa show
Kahanga-haNGA NGA pero kalurkey
Parang ung efforts ni Empress Ki
Pa-epal daw kasi kaya impressive
Kapalmuks daw kaya expressive
Matindi ang kapit parang tuko
Kahit 2013 pa ang “Let it go!”…
Ni Elsa sa malamig na kastilyo
Parang 1994 Elsa Castillo
Portrayed by Kris Aquino!
Wag RAo manlaban sa power ng YElLOw
BoomPanis lang… Walang laban
Kahit sumabog pa ang Bulkan…

Ang Alamat ng Walang Forever
Bakit at paano nga ba
Na ang tawag sa
Kanilang isinuko o isinurrender
Laban man o hindi ay “Walang Forever”?
Kapag nais ka nilang sumuko
Sasabihin nila ito
Uso ito sa mga bina-busTED
Bangungot ng mga broken-hearTED
Narinig ko na ito sa TED mga 2013
Bago ako doon pangalawang beses paalisin
At nang ako sa Crim i-transfer
Isinulat kong motto: “CapSU Forever”
Aba! Meron paring ganong bukambibig
Hindi ba't kaysarap sa pandinig?!
Parang hangarin ko ay kinokontra
Bakit? Ano bang ginawa ko sa kanila?!
TED o Crim ba ang talagang may pakana?...
O meron lamang nagdidikta sa kanila?
WALAng mahirap kung WALAng korap
Sabi ng may pakana ng DAP
DAPalan music ay laganap
Para akong china-chopchop
Chachara… chachaRA…
Mwah2x! Chup2x!... sabi ng kanta
Charap na charap ang panot na beybi
Sa nilulutong “break-up” ni mineral mommy
Na habang kanilang tinatapos
Bumagsak isang mabagsik na unos…

Hangad Ko Para sa Ating Bansa:
Ika-8 Utos ng Dios Ama
Ang pairalin ang Ika-8 Utos ng Dios Ama
Ay hangad ko para sa ating bansa
Huwag magsinungaling laban sa kapwa natin
Katotohanan ang siyang dapat pairalin
Huwag magsinungaling sa pamamagitan ni Hesukristo
Na Siyang tapat at hindi sinungaling na tao
Huwag magsisinungaling laban sa kapwa mo
Sa huli ay mananaig din ang totoo
Huwag magsisinungaling sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo
Na Siyang katotohanan lang ang hatid sa mga tao
Huwag magsisinungaling, saksi sa katotohanan ang Banal na Espirito
Pumarito sa lupa upang pakatotohanan tayo
Huwag magsisinungaling sa pamamagitan ni Inang Maria
Na hindi sinungaling, mapagbintang at mapanlinlang sa kapwa
At siya ring nagpakatotoo sa Panginoon natin
Nawa'y ang bansang Pilipinas katotohanan ang pairalin.

Ang pagpapairal sa utos na ito
Ang nais kong patunguhan ng ating pondo
Pondohan nawa ng ating gobierno
Ang hindi pagsisinungaling sa kapwa tao sa bansang ito.

The heel grabber
from birth, until deception called out.
Jacob loved to dish out
soup, thick with red gravy.
His twin jealous for
that heavy satisfying sup
but fate would betray him
as would his belly ach(ing).
Esau, translated
would be “Harry,” changed
from hairy and was he red
or the living end…do I digress…
Jacob held on for dear life,
as he like many second born,
wanted to be first. And his dear mama,
bless her heart, heard from God -
Rebecca wondered what the wrestling
in her womb was all about.
She thought, ‘must be boys.’
She thanks God for the dynamic duo
but knows that God has chosen
numero two. She favors Jacob
as her husband clings to his firstborn,
Esau, that macho hunter.
Jacob is a mama’s boy
but would have to flee
after deceitfully gaining
his brother’s birthright.
Of course Esau sold it
precariously for a bowl
of stew and their blind dad
would be tricked too.
Jacob ran from his land
as his brother wanted to Cain him,
in other words murder was on his mind.
Uncle Laban took him in.
Back in that time
cousins would marry
and Jacob fell head over heels
for the beautiful Rachel.
In the dark, they made love
to consummate their marriage
after working seven years
for her dear old dad…
except Laban slipped his firstborn
under those covers,
and the heel grabber
would have to work seven more
so he could have the object
of his affection. (Slighted Leah
was given many more children
as God saw her plight.)
After all those deceitful years,
returning to his rightful place,
he wrestled an angel of God.
He wouldn’t let go until God blessed him —
that heel grabber had tightened his grip,
until he was blessed and unhinged his hip.
As the angel touched Jacob’s socket
and changed his name to Israel.

Genesis 25:19 - 32:32
Under the tree at Mamre three visitors stood
They looked like you and me
But One was different from the others
Waiting just waiting for
Abraham with a bow as low as he could go
Invited them for lunch
Looking at Abraham One of the three spoke
the words of life and death and creation
and like friends they ate like you and I would
Jacob on his way to Laban Rebeca’s brother
Tired found a rock as his pillow
Fell into a dream even with a rock for his pillow
He saw a stairway resting on earth
And reaching to heaven with angels
ascending & descending
Where were they going
Walking into the shadows of the night
Coming to you or me I suppose
At the top of the stairway God spoke
A promise to Jacob his name will be Israel
When Jacob woke everything had changed
A silent night a holy night like no other night
Out in the fields shepherds were watching
God was silent for so long only retold deeds
on pages of the past
Out of the silence came news of great joy
An angel of the Lord appeared to shepherds
announcing the birth a visitor like the One at Mamre
A Savior the Messiah now visiting like a newborn oh man
The heavens opened with a chorus voices so joyful
How the shepherds changed that night
Like so many of us waiting to hear that chorus
A Savior the Messiah who walked through life death
Back to life and beyond
