Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

Aba, naku! Kay daming biyaherong may bala!
Parang magic, himala, pero nakapagtataka!
Itong salaysay ng mga walang kaluluwa
Tila baga misteryo, kung totoo'y, nakakatawa!
...

Detached
Cocooned by lines
Unheard, unknown, unreal
Are sounds of chaos, fear, and threat
...

Discord was born when men lost Harmony.
Self was enthroned with delusions of Gain,
Power at all costs, devoid of dignity,
Taken at the great price of death and pain.
...

Terrorism is a rabid dog whose mind
Is filled with the venom of death,
If you let it inside your house you find
It won't sit and behave, that makes you regret
...

Our world is plagued by endless chaos,
We strive to live and ride the waves,
Through strife, and conflict, sometimes loss,
We breathe, resigned to what each day gave.
...

Sunshine today came with glorious rays
Touched my skin in a warm embrace,
Contrasting the world's own eerie darkness,
Where chaos and hatred envelopes with coldness.
...

In my twilight years you came, so true
With your sweet beckoning love songs,
My gray skies turned to vibrant blue
As life colors led to where I belong.
...

They say every land and country is theirs
And they have come boldly to liberate
Their captive people from this world's affairs
Theirs is the one law which none can negate.
...

Losing a nation starts with losing its identity,
Changes, like minute sand blown by strong winds
Can unmake what had stood through a nation's history.
...

Pillars
Don't just stand up
By themselves, they need hands
Bound together to build in strength
...
