Memorial Wall

Sometimes I cannot forgive
And these days, mercy cuts so deep
If the world was how it should be,
Maybe I could get some sleep
While I lay, I dream we're better,
Scales were gone and faces light

Mortality is a sucker punch. With Death watching over us with her longing gaze, we are all priceless.

There are limits to what we can do.

Why didn't I help?

I could have helped.

Could I have helped?

Am I strong enough?

Am I vulnerable?

How my arrogance fails me now.

I don't know if I can love.

I will talk about certain people, certain things, but really, it's all about me and what I feel.

I will continue to ask for catharsis even though it doesn't have to come.

When Adam and Eve ate of the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, their doom was not their sin, but their awakened awareness of the world, of life and death.

Sabado ng Enero

Naglaho ang mundo
Isang Sabado ng Enero
Mundo ng galak
Mundo ng saya.

Pumalit ay pangungulila
Sa araw ng iyong paglalayag
Isang libong tanong
Lahat walang sagot.

Nais ko ba talaga
Malapatan ng mga sagot?
Kahit isa sa isang libo
Nais kong unawain.

O baka ang gusto ko lang
Usisain ang sagot
Dahil di ko pa matanggap
Kinahinatnan ng tanong.

O baka ang gusto ko lang
Magtanong ng magtanong
Hindi para sa iyo
Kundi para makilala ako.

Ano ba ang gusto ko?
Ano ba ang dapat itanong?
Ano ba ang mga sagot?
Pagmamahal? Pagkakaibigan?

Naglaho ang mundo
Isang Sabado ng Enero
Pero naririto pa rin kami
Gagawa ng bagong mundo


Para sa kaibigang batid na ang mga sagot
