Punta Cruz Poem by RIC BASTASA

Punta Cruz



THE adventure of my ancestors
from Bohol
where poverty drives them all the
promises of Mindanao
is land-marked by the
cross planted
on the shore of Miputak
to protect them from the
attacks of the
pirates
godless men from the south
who without mercy
took away their women
and children
as slaves and
concubines.
