This is my second poetry which was "trashed" by my editor-in-chief when I was just a staff in our school paper when I was in college. It's all about "EDSA REVOLUTION" here in the Philippines, it was supposedlt intended for the anniversary of the Revolution...
From One shot to a bloodless battle
by: Maria Estela Punongbayan
(February 1995)
Pow! there's a gun shot heard at far
The shot was found at the hero's scar
All people cried for the hero's death
But he went through for our freedom before his last breath
The nation decided to bring it back
The justice shattered by "pigs" on the rack
The lives taken without further dignity
A bloodless battle push though until it's victory
Roses and Rosaries are the only weapon
From the bullets and knives even under the moon
God knows what to do
That's why instead of freezing bullets the heart of everyone
went warmer and so
EDSA is the symbol of a silent war
No guns, tanks, bombs and lives taken a far
Bloodless revolution is a way of peace
Why need for blood if we can do it in a peaceful ease?
