Marites C. Cayetano Poems

In the world
where killing
outside the reason of defending life in danger
is considered moral and legal
...

Rain
can't you come at night
and gone by daylight?
...

Why do you have to give me this heart
to think of my brethren
and cry for their sufferings and pains
while you don‘t give me enough strength and power
...

You have grown
and your wings are already strong enough to fly
as high as you can.
...

Don't worry when I am silent
and you see
a smile on my face
because it means
...

The old hometown
no longer the same
people changed
houses changed
...

Inang ibon
sa di kalayua'y
munti niyang pipit
kanyang pinagmasdan
...

Oh, my Lord
I only have two hands
to receive your gifts
I beg you to give me just enough
...
