(After a defensive)Sometimes, I cant help to think…
I walk the steep slopes
looking at every edge and green expanse
of mountains and plains
every possible space of what'/5s between
the light, the trees, and the ferns
separating the natural
from the could be fabricated landscape
and my ears try to stretch its reach
from the twig, the rustling leaves, to the gushing of the stream
Are all I hear natural?
As I hold steady my iron buddy
trying to keep focus
to any possibility of an attack
just as i proactively rekindle
my beliefs each day.
Night time falls and body seeks for its rest
And though night is a camouflage
the dark can leave me clueless sometimes
disagreement, paranoia,
and disbelief sometimes creeps
most especially when you know
you need a rest but cannot
but learning the truth
of what i am from the masses
again i walk with the purpose clear
and even dash a hundred meters for them
Again and again the enemy will try
To encircle and annihilate the revolt
Again remoulding and regression
of two classes in my head clashes
hearing explosions in front ,
or in my rear
A blast can disorient
the ear can sometimes bleed for surrender
And the loss of a dear friend and comrade
can be more crushing than body wounds
like a shrapnel of memories
ever stuck in your head
but the cries in the barrios gives courage
what's some drop of a blood compared
to the life and blood
of the innocents and martyrs
Though at times it feels like
the strength doesnt accumulate
with every win and loss
a never ending tug-of-war
of mass base, arms, and mind
on a seemingly unending cycle
between classes and their armies.
Armies and their classes
i sometimes ask
will the history stop with strategic defensive?
Comrade, STOP scaring yourself of imaginings
and join the people,
not in books, statistics, news report
or any scientifilcally, well calculated
bourgeouis lie
can you find the answer.
Filipinos are still very much in poverty
Injustice is just the whip
that the big bourgeoisie use
to control and maintain their order
And forced disappearance is a desperate move
to suppress each brother and sister
Witness heroism that lay on each comrade's soul
Linking arms with the opressed
in the shanties, the factories,
communities beside the river and coast,
fields, and mountain ridges,
or under coconut trees
And again ask if victory is a pipe dream
Or will it be the outcome!
