Scare ***** Deja Vu, Shangrila Mactan Poem by Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan

Scare ***** Deja Vu, Shangrila Mactan

Rating: 5.0


That must be the best place
to unwind against boredomsome
hours beset unto me in
this historic island of heroism
by the 1st Filipino hero our
grand-grand-grandpa
Lapu-lapu

too eager-too weak is my desire
to step down
and see the intriguing view
inside this world class
luxury hotel
i have never yet touched this
landmark of modernity
even in my uncorrupted sight

you must agree,
I am magnetized now by the bait
of fantasy
floating with the harbor
of excitement
slow-moving approach while
leaving tremendous footprints
in the tablets path way
along well-guarded CCTV
entrance gate
but what an emotional shock
a de javu trauma welcoming
to my face
a flash back phobia
of historical events that i need to forget

trembling with catastrophic
heartbeat
while featuring the 5 star architectural
side view seems the Malacañang palace
where I had just escaped from after
EDSA 3 political crisis
tiresome rally, and
conflict, threat of war in adjacent Mendiolla-
avenue
where teargas encountered that nearly forgotten
events and
now forcibly refresh and retrieve
a de javu scenario that almost cut off
my life
against de facto government

so disgusting
