' [ Why He? ] ' Poem by Ency Bearis

And at last I reached home but in sullenness
Sweet home, but not, due to emptiness

And who the hell, won't feel such anxious
When your loved one is lying in a sarcophagus

In your face seeing your brother breathless
There upon to God I said in such a big fuss

As why God at early age he was taken
Gone to point of no return, to that horizon

And the pearly drops fall like a cascade
Down from my eyes to hill of face they fade

In silence I uttered rest in peace my brother
Wherever you are and your spirit somewhere

on July 15,2015, the day I arrived in the Philippines coming
from USA.)
