(Philippine Elections 2007)
Today's totalitarian wears and plays
the populist -
among other robes,
costume of a sinner's past,
makes for more drama
Morality is a badge
only displayed by the crook
performing compassion
as if by the book
Mistake not honesty nor sincerity
for the act of confession
understand that stupidity
has no place in any act of mercy
Forgiveness is not forgetfulness,
ignorance is not innocence
Hope is neither something
to wish for, nor something granted
Its what we give ourselves
when we decide to.
