Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

My country is the Philippines,
Found at the center of Asia.
Corruption and idolatry are her sins-
And extreme Poverty is her dilemma.
...

The Moon was a giant pearl last night
That hang from a brilliant chain of stars.
Its brightness glowed in a covering light,
I tried to reach for it, it was too far.
...

For the heart to heal,it is not by force.
Allow Time to take its normal course.

Forgiving is a choice, a command we obey.
...

When darkness overwhelms me
And mockers negate words I say,
Your Presence holds me faithfully
And You hear me when I pray.
...

You know the word "delete"
Is rather final and complete.
It's like showing fake friends
Out the door marked "Exit".
...

Risk is great in the absence of Justice
There will be chaos and we have no Peace.

The rule of law is nowhere to be found
...

Mind your own business and you stay healthy.
Indulging yourself with the affairs of others
Is not productive and makes you rather cranky.
...

They will fall and not know why
Disaster ruled their treasured land.

As Truth and Faith was set to die
...

Night
Spreads out
Her darkness
Over the earth
...

When we close our eyes
And pretend all is well,
We condone the lies
That our leaders tell.
...
