Who Art Thou?

sept.23.2006

MALICIOUS
As if you know me
You can't hold me
You can't touch my soul.

FICTITIOUS
Never did I credited your word
You are unknown, 'till now
Did you even said something true?

CONTROLLER
You're misleading to arrest me
You came to conquer?
I wont let you.

THIEF
As if you've gotten something from me
You can't destroy me
I'm still intact, still priceless

NARCISSISTIC
Too much love for your damned self amuses me
I won't tell you what's real
I know that you know it and it fucking kills you!

Prejudiced

sept.23.2006

I am prejudiced
It's on my paper, I came from a quiet ship
Never knowing the reality
The world of the damned

It kills me, I feel it, It's like a stab on my chest
I tasted my own blood, a cut in the throat
Heat of fury burns
Consuming, raging!

Do you know me?
I don't know you!
Have you given me consideration?
I never even used my Libra scales on you!

Is this injustice for life?
The norms of society hits me big time
Now I understand
Back then I empathized, now I'm sympathized

How hurting, I can't do anything
A stronghold one can't destroy
Millions can't even raise a voice
Though I know I'm strong, I am weak.

So Near, Yet So Far

sep.23.2006

All the things that I yearned for are so near, yet so far
Never thought it would feel like this
I never saw this coming
I assumed everything's gonna be just fine.

But things happen, days seems cloudy
I am hanging
It's so near that I can feel it
Yet so far that I can't see it.

Every day seems I'm going nowhere
Just yesterday my life's on track
I planned every move, done my duties
But what happened, I got derailed.

Many things hover my mind
Gloomy thoughts of dim future
Is there really something in store for me?
I'm worthy, give it to me.

My hands are eager to grab it as it floats in the air
It's like a butterfly, fluttering, gliding slowly, but i can't reach it.

Fallen Angels

jul.23.2006

Past these streets
On my way home
I see these young flesh
With burnt skin, tarnished
Run as we pass them.

As we halt by the next stoplight
A boy lurked by my window
He stared as I stared
He knocked as I shook my head.

A doomed city of fallen angels
With no choice but to live in vain
Does anyone care?
Am I affected or do I care?

The engine is running, I can hear and feel it
The children are running, and smiling
The irony of life
Anyways, they’re too young to understand.

There's something to be done
Is it value system, economic drive, change?
Or accuse the children’s parents for lack of judgment?
But then, maybe, just sincere care and help would do.

Asa

Iisang pader lang ang pagitan natin… @
Ngunit parang magkaibang mundo and ating ginagalawan… #
Mapayapa ka sa iyong buhay… $
Ako nama’y sabik sa iyong pagmamahal… %

@

Kwatro kantos, limang dankal
Ito ang layo mo sa akin
Maaari kitang hawakan kung gusto ko
Ngunit my hadlang, pader ma'y magiba.

#

Sa iyong kapaligira’y musikang ‘di banyaga sa akin
Ngunit ang landas natin ay ‘di magkatugma
Minsan nang nagkabangaan
Pero sa iba’t-ibang direksyon pumatungo.

$

Ang hirap mo namang istorbohin, mailap ka pa
Saka baka ano p'ang isipin mo, kahit iyon naman ang balak
Hayaan nalang kita, tignan nalang kita
May magagawa ba ako?

%

Ano kaya kung malaman mo, nakaka-kaba
Tanggapin mo kaya? Makinig ka kaya?
Asa lang siguro ako na makuha ka,
O mapasaakin at matutunan ako’y mahalin.
