  • NOBLE POETRY  

  • I I live in the Philippines, a Happy Place, but why Am I still Sad?

     

    I’ve walked to the garden of my veins, my heart.
    I’ve talked to the burdens of my veins, their hurt.
    I took a stop from my life, why am I out of context?
    I walked to the façade of my life, my heart.
    I’ve talked to the sadness of my life, I’m hurt.
    I stop awhile and ask myself, “why am I out of context?”

    Yelling is what I hear, chaos is what life’s bear.
    Don’t tell all your fear, kindness out of fear is rare.
    Black; white, the basic of my life,
    Black; white, color me and make me hype.

    I live in the ‘Pearl of Orient’
    But why people are pearl to be tormented?
    I live in the ‘West of Pacific’
    But why water on my top peaked?

    I live in the country of happiness,
    But I dive into the vastness of my sadness.
    Tinnitus isn’t the same as sadness turning all silent,
    Sadness isn’t the same as happiness turning to violence.

    Sadness, sadness, PLEASE GO AWAY!
    Happiness, happiness, why are you to pay?
    Sadness, sadness, go out and make your way,
    Philippines, Philippines, I’ll be happy. Just wait for that day.
