Mindanao: The Catacomb Of Peace Poem by Antonio Liao

take me where the ingredients of lewd peace
live, fun me to the shore of sweet embrace
for nothing left with me, but pain and
aspiration to remember the past of excitement

the abundance of milk and honey, capture the
challenge of culture imprison each desire
to the quest of destiny, haul only with faded
hope emptied by sporadic clashes of fear and
discouragement to settle in the light of
discontentment and failure

oh! wealth of many faces, gain and live by
leaches of the politician, help me find my
feet, while the tongue wait to find the
little hand that the brain focus, has install
the courage to wake the deep close eyes that
seldom glimpse of hunger

alas! the dawn finds and settles down each dye
of darkness to glow of blooming daylight zone
to live
