We see roaring monsters
both in bicameral chamber cage
of the Philippine congress
they are fighting on cam
surviving
setting down, killing hours
lifting each other crony's thumb
poisoning intruders
as the ghost like
medieval magistrates
as the ancient philosophers
full of political wisdom, unselfish thoughts
but they are undisputedly opposite
except for the exempted few
see them live on cam
in almost cage's angles
in every detail scene in their 'aid of legislation' case
a showdown moment for their vital indie films
pogi points, FAMAS -OSCAR combo awardees
in front of cinematic -motion picture -taker cams
an AVR for their upcoming 2010 theatrical election
Eat your voice!
all monstrous political figures
that project too much humility to deceive
popular poor voters
Back off!
political - dragon tounges
that snatch the voice of the youth
from beneath the unborn uncorrupted yet mind
Wake up!
all surviving fellow victims
my colleagues, my co - republican inhabitants
don't be misled with all
their politically-inclined puff promises
that strike like a shrapnelled knives
penetrating your heart
paralyzing your conscience
that would comatose the essence of true democracy
that propelled by their tricky tentacles
above a howling powerless
underneath the still corrupt agency - the government
that need to be quarantined
to be freed from the shackles of epedemic graft viruses
