Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

Devastation and Chaos on the land
Loss of lives, loss of Future
Warriors lost their souls.
...

We were rambunctious
Daring, so carefree,
Nothing was perilous
With our youth's curiosity
...

What I perceived to be happiness
Turned out to be a den of darkness,
For you transformed to who you were-
A beast so full of hate and anger.
...

Hello, have you lost your human values?
Were they shoved down there on your socks
To rot as smelly forgotten refuse
Like fossil in those decayed moss-covered rocks?
...

Greed counts currency
While sheer Poverty cries,
With mocking mirth and glee
And a twinkling of the eye.
...

Cry silently through the night
In cloak of dark and dim lights
And pour the pain in endless drops
When morning comes it will just stop.
...

Since you were gone
Each breath I take
Leaves me undone
As my heart breaks.
...

From out of the depth of emptiness
His hand reached out in Divine Love,

My soul to ransom from its death,
...

Oh what pain consumes our hearts!
Gnawing fears and despondency,
With all jobs lost, income departs,
And the homeless dwell in famined economy.
...

In my country there's a frightening story
Called the white lady of Balete Drive
And though the witnesses there have been many
The story is a legend that's still alive.
...
