TAO, TAE AT TAONG BULATE


Makikita mo sa lisik ng mga mata ng tao

Ang bahid ng kahayupan ng kanyang kamao

Kung saan gumagapang ang modernong demonyo

Bagsik ng liyab ng impyerno ay nasa mundo



Ganid ang dugong dumadaloy sa ugat ng tao

Tao’y hindi isla ngunit hanggang lalamunan lang ito

Isusubo na lang ng langgam, hahablutin pa ito

Taong nakapuwesto, hindi ka ba ganito?



Simula pa nung tayo’y magkaulo

Kung umasta parang bulate sa katawan ng tao

Tama, ang tao’y bulate sa sarili niyang pagkatao

Bulateng nagtatau-tauhan sa madla ng mundo



Dapat bulate, karumaldumal kang tinatae

Idiretso sa banyo ilugmok sa inidoro

Kasama lahat ng buhay na marumi

Kaya ngayon ang tawag ko sa iyo ngayon ay taong tae



Taong tae taong tae na galing sa bulate

Ginawa mong lungga ng lagaw ang mga lalaki’t babae

Wala kang patawad pati sa batang inosente

Dapat sa ‘yo tae ay ginagarote



Kaya huwag magmalaki sa kapangyarihan mong angkin

O sa mga armas at puso mong itim

Balang araw ‘pag sumakit ang tiyan, itatae lang kita sa inidoro

At iuumpog ko ang bulate mong ulo sa apat na sulok ng mundo

A Lifetime's Worth of Education (from a Filipino Thomasian Medical Student)

...because even if you have attained the highest level or position in the medical field, you are always a student of medicine. I wrote this blog on March 10, 2006 in my yahoo 360 account as an attempt to blog about my medical life (which I failed to do). This was written days before I became a 4th year student, a medical clerk, or in the medical lingo, "the lowest life form in the hospital"... Ever since I entered medical school, my whole life turned up side down. It was like I’m adrift into the whirling pool of uncertainties. I counted every moment, every second, living it day by day. They said it would only take a short time to finish medicine, the hell with it (4 years of pre-med, 4 years of med proper, 1 year of internship, 3-5 years of residency and 1-2 years of fellowship). Partially it was true, toxicities make time fly in lightspeed. I am a 3rd year medical student at UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery and an incoming clerk (duty starts at april 15). Whenever I remin...

Room

When  we were surrounded by chairs and whiteboards Books afloat and skulls on the table Light escaping from the other room Sunrays piercing thru the blinds You were looking at me the way you are looking at him Right now.

Your Grace

Black Digital ravens slowly descend Sliding to open does my hand Unearthing the letter from your Grace Reforming your Sansa's face Galloping steps between our Wall Heavy as the Red wedding at the Hall Can never be mine your Grace Gaze at my white walker face Our path begets Winterfell A great kingdom burned to hell See through the flames your grace Murder by the Hound's daze A visit from the One Eyed Crow Is an arrow from Ygritte 's bow Its the beheading scene your grace These mind bending plots to haze
