Apollyon Poem by ROGEL FRANCIS SORIOSO

My name is Apollo an Olympian God from the Kingdom of Olympus
I've been alive for an unknown amount of time serving my purpose
From a family of Immortal Gods where I command next to the Supreme Ruler
My authority could be destruction or salvation for I am a destroyer and healer
Although my powers are not directly within my hands right now
I'm able to channel some of my energy to my followers somehow
To create such rampage and carnage as a form of punishment or evidence
To question and challenge such selfishness or greed in times of decadence
I was born here in the City of Iloilo and now resides in Alta Tiera Village
After spending five years in America where I did some major damage
I was born on the Twenty-third of June, Nineteen- seventy nine
They now call me Rogel Francis Sorioso and the pleasure is mine
To a lovely mother Merlinda and a very enabling father Rogelio
And two beautiful sisters Romelia, Aurora and a brother Mario
Including two cute and adorable nieces Marley Rae and Amelie
Whom I had now consider to be my new and immediate family
Being an Immortal Olympian means being responsible for mankind's fate
To bring new order and harmony to a world consumed by greed or hate
Perhaps even denying myself of the love and romance of a woman for the sake of humanity
For Love is a very strange word for someone who has so much obligation and responsibility
For my very own reality of existence is not in this world you call your home
My very own appearance is not even the same from where I dwell and roam
This is just a mask I've chosen to wear while I try to accomplish my task
I look so much better in terms of looks and physique If you will try to ask
My life is almost comparable to the movie Thor where he lost his abilities and powers
Just to redeem the respect of his father unlike me who brought down the Twin Towers
My reality on the other side is just like a fantasy movie with a totally different rating
And I only went to the United States because of Anna Marie when we were still dating
So Iloilo City is now temporarily my home while waiting for my time to return
And once my work and missionhere is already done my life will soon adjourn
No one else could follow me in our Castle without my own permission
Only our wives or lovers could do so after making such a submission
Fear not the end of the flesh but rather the end of change
For a life that has no changes at allisjust like a stagnant water
Our souls doesn't die so the unjust actions must do for the better
To behave and act as a people of higher intelligence or character
And not like some low breed animals whose desires are all that matter
We will share our technology, cure and wisdom through the minds of others
Our own minions who came here with us by innovating as mankind gathers
I fought many battles for mankind's survival and its own sake
Just to bring the changes we desire in the decisions we make
Our powers are more than just your magic and more than your illusion
For even though you consider us to be Myths our lives was never a fiction
For we are even deep inside your human body right now as we speak
Embedded in your tissues, blood and genes which science try to seek
We could take your life by any means of accident, disease, murder or disaster
For the demands of change and punishment where the rewards are greater
My very own life has been a series of success and tragedy in every moment
Even heroes cry and bleed but not to the eyes of the people for amazement
For no one is deemed free from the wickedness brought by our own flesh
And only our own will and determination could bring a change that's fresh
Let the old and corrupt system die or rot for all the lies it have told
By introducing new ideas for the children to grow up wise and bold
Yes it is always easier to be said rather than to be done
But what would you rather like to be known when you're gone
The great men always went against the flow of the raging tide
To partake in history's momentous, rough and bloody ride
To raise the banner of courage and greatness while the cowards flee
To take our existence to a higher level where even the blind man see
In order to be the best is to learn from the best that we could see
And what have we learned from history or the Land of the Free
The Greeks were the best in ancient times for a particular way
To conquer, expand and acquire lands or riches is what they say
In the same manner or way that America became the nation that it is today
I know this for they stole their methods from me which I decided to display
Harvesting all the rewards from all the sacrifices that was made
Through hard work and a benevolent spirit which would never fade
For I have fought with the Germans, Americans, British and many more
And I have repeatedly learned so much from my previous conquest before
Losing is actually not a failure but rather not trying at all
Doing nothing is actually worst than not making the call
Let us bring pride and glory to our own precious or majestic lands
The power to achieve such success is only upon our own hands
As Apollo my advice would be to always learn from the best
By uniting as a people and overcoming the obstacle or test
For I have already done this before in Mongolia, Greece, Germany and France
And the eyes of my Olympus is upon you now so don't ever let go of that chance
