Ghastly White

lurking in the dark to prey on unwary kids

might have been some urban legend

or another wave of crime

just like motorcycle-riding men

who lessen streets' drug demand

this time white is the color of ghostly fear

may be just another trick to keep them out of the streets

so that that curfew would have some iron teeth

enough to grab and bite on their tender flesh

some old-fashioned aswang of bedtime stories told

Leni and Digong: Some Dialectical Relationship

I may have been yellowish all throughout this campaign
and we might have caused you a lot of hurts and pain
but nonetheless your manliness has been too much of a him

But what can I do if I miss so much my mom
which made such an obsession of a lot of erotic fun
but here in the south I've been king besides me there was no one

These people may have become so laid back, so un-controllable
but to have someone in place a dangerous and an angry man
it may put this society's home, one great hell of the damned

Let's call on the military or maybe the armed red men
for this country to be great it must be a model of discipline
tryin' to be a Singapore but surely something not Philippine

If I get into this place even how reluctantly it has been
hope it would be better just like what my husband dreamed
for the poor, the needy and all the women and men

If jails are like hideouts of hideous criminal beasts
and the corrupt system is playground of political thieves
if I have to shed blood, dammit I will-coz it's for the best

Now, now it's not like Robin Hood has suddenly ascended the throne
and to be like a queen to watch how dreadful this nation I call home
I pray Lord that at the end of the day He will say "job well done."
