in front of historic shrine
beyond media cam shadows
lights satellites
margined with political banners
held masses democratic reform
for pro constitutions
for pro democracy
it's seem a boring poltical history
cycling around fishbowl water
i was just a 6 year old boy
i heard only people power EDSA 1
i had no idea yet what was that all about
mine was to see tanks, armies in full-battle
gear running in main city street not in jungle
where they should be
then at age 21, I had witnesed the last day of
2nd EDSA episode with elites majority
occupied the shrine
and still at age 21, that very year still
when the puwersa ng masa
formulated the known people power 3
the so-called EDSA 3 rally
the poor inhabitants now is the majority
still singing ang BAYAN KUNG PILIPINAS
shouting out loud MABUHAY the Philippines!
i keep on wondering when will the EDSA 4 and 5 and 6 and so forth and so on will take over again and occupy the shrine
so i just bring my MP5 to play once more
the hackneyed MABUHAY songs and monotonous expressions
for pro democracy, for pro rights, for pro freedom
