This is something I wrote 2 years ago during the highly publicized bus hostage taking that took place here in the Philippines, I felt very upset towards our government that I had to write something about it and here it is.
August of Mourning
An honest man has turned into an evil being
Human greed, eternally spewing
From the mouths of tyrants
This is clearly the end of life
Corruption has turned higher men into stone
Choosing to ignore the evil that is around
There will never be a home for the just here
The pearl of the east
Insists that nothing shall be done
Into the precipice of a tragedy most horrid
Higher powers consort in the most mundain of fashions
Regardless of the outcome
the golden coin will still enter their pockets
Regardless of the outcome
the golden coin will still rule their minds
As the first gunshot is heard
Many more follow
Machine-like accuracy used as a means for death
The taste of human blood doesn't seem to satisfy this man
His once blessed heart is now the blackest granite
Not a single thing can stop this madness
Only when life has been shot out of the innocent
will the higher powers intervene
And in the night
the bloodshed has ceased
but the damage has been done
Their blood has stained this nation
And in disgrace we fall back into our thoughts
As the next day of corruption begins
