A Poem For The Witness, Who 'Closed His Eyes' Poem by RIC BASTASA

FOR once
on this page i
want to be of
social relevance

i want to spread
the news
about that gruesome
murder of
58 Filipinos,
media people
and even
innocent
civilians who
happened to
be on that road
that dismal
day

justice is still
not served

let us have silence
for 5 minutes
and pray
that sooner
justice be done

let us pray
that it be not
snail paced

let there be
thunder and lightning
after the silence

let those
who are guilty
be punished

let nothing
be hidden
let no one
be spared
due to political
connections

let the flower of
truth bloom
and let there
be damnation
for evil forever...
