POEM THAT DESCRIBES THE PHILIPPINE DURING ACTIVISM PERIOD.
POEM:
Maybe my mind is impoverished
To explain to put to memoryl
The dreams and deaths of the poor
The cries of young girls butchered like pigs
While being raped by
Greedy politicians and businessmen.
In the mudslinging of congressmen
who at once join their followers
And advisers compete
To sell their country
A mossy monument
Which drunkards use for throwing.
The irreverence for the poor
Reached this period of the mass revolution.
Hands that broadcast sweat
Brandish placards of protest
In the haciendas of Negros
Sugar cane turns bitter.
In the rice granaries of Luzon
Hatred, hammers, sickles,
On old newspapers
Students write the rubrica of dissent
No time and date
Barrack and bullet go no wherer
Today will come again
Let the people rise and
And let the people
Speak for themselves
Then it will be injustice
But today it is justice
