Monokuro Boo

You speak as if I'm a paper doll. You define my facade with the point of your pen. You clothe me with such chromatic thoughts. You fold me to whatever form you prefer. And then you smile, to see such physique you have beautifully crafted with your words, with your thoughts.

And you see a curl from my lips, seemingly forming a smile. Yet, it is not what you perceive. I am not smiling back at you.

Perhaps, the day will come that I shall, when you perceive is other than my physique. When you have conceived that I am a soul, not just a PRETTY PAPER DOLL.

KAMINDYO

Isinilang niyo kami,
Dugo sa buo naming katawan
Tanda ng aming pagkatali sa inyo.
Na kami’y galling sa inyong mga
Laman
Laman na inyo, ngunit—
Hindi lahat ng pagsunod
Tulad niyo—kami’y may buhay.

            ..kami’y hindi inyo—
            ..kami’y sangkatauhan

Maitatali niyo—aming mga kamay
Ngunit—hindi an gaming isipan
Kami’y mga anak ng lupa,

At kami’y may buhay.


Paghihinagpis walang dahilan
Para sa aming kalayaan
Nais naming umunlad,
Lumaya—dalahin niyo’y ibsan,
Mga ugat nami’y pumipitik
Kami’y may buhay.
Magtiis kung kailangan
Upang patunayan—lumaki kami
Sa bagong bayan—kabataa’y
Di bulag—oo.
Kami’y may buhay.

..kami’y hindi inyo—
            ..kami’y sangkatauhan
