the sky was bright yesterday
today it's dark and gray
the full moon shone
the stars twinkled
while the planets
turned and spun
the octopus' arm is ready
to plunge, to coil
at your body
hugging you so tightly
until your breathe is gone
with black ink
permeating
engulfing
your world
your light
as the sun
slowly left
gone
did you sleep with someone
and did not tell them
that you were sick
did you lie to your love one
that you were the one causing
havoc in cyberspace
a person with breeding
but so low in self respect
with your tongue so sharp
full of bile spewing lies
into the air
did you tell us
the truth
did you with held it
making stories
making illusions
in your head
but the truth with its wings
it's flying
it's moving
and it will land
and it will shine
above us
setting the score
letting the truth
sparkle and dazzle
the unbelievers
the skeptics
of this universe
the truth will shine on you
the truth will shine on us
no one escapes justice
no one can put a lid
to the truth
to the light
with its mighty arm
with its mighty power
for the truth is backed
by God...
just watched the majestic duet of John Shillington and Ruby Brown, "America the Beautiful" at the republican convention, these two are friends of the McCains'. the duet is so mesmerizing, very powerful that some people there became misty eyed. never seen and heard a duet that is sooo good and beautiful like this one. I'll wait for it to come in you tube and post it :) i wish one talented Pinoy could write a similar song about the Philippines and two powerful singers could sing it as well, some sort of a project i mean for i love these two countries. both are beautiful and both are my life and happiness :) ironic though, the republicans love America, but the rich are moving its manufacturing corporations out of the country leaving middle class America hard on its knees, losing jobs, with houses in foreclosures and still slamming us with high gas prices for these big oils are big republican backers, so sad. no cares for their own country men. yes, i like Hillary than Obama but when i think about these people being affected by the transfer of jobs overseas although it helps my pinoy countrymen as well due to these outsourced jobs are their bread and butter, this outsourcing should only be in a reasonable amount, leave some jobs here in the U.S. too for the consequences will be that America's economy will be down in the drain. this is what is happening now, for spending triggers the economy, but without jobs how can an American person spend? they don't even have the money to pay for their mortgage. yes, the fight between the rich which holds the GOP and the middle class, the democrats, has been going on for years and sad to say the rich is winning, the rich is laughing out loud now. yes we can change this? can Obama do it? i dunno, my guess is not, with his roots and meager experience in governing and all. if not for Oprah's millions that had fired up his campaign defeating the Clintons. Hillary might have a greater chance of changing this trend of oppressive politics played by the republican rich for i don't think that the greater American people in general wants a black president to govern them and Obama will be the one to shoulder the blame of this loss. only my take and i could be wrong. but in two months i will know the answer for certain :)
"Somewhere in Time" the music and the movie plus the place it was filmed, my place now....my all time favorite...the late superman, Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour's movie, the classic movie that i watch over and over again when I'm happy and sad but more so when I'm sad, laughs. a winner, totally!
and what an excellent speech rendered by this lady VP nominee chosen by McCain. well crafted and delivered with passion. i won't be mad if they win for Michael will be helped tremendously and all special needs kids like my son, for her little boy is with down syndrome. a no nonsense lady, the kind that i like second to Hillary. i wish that she is a democrat though, but that's life. we can't have everything that we truly wanted. we'll just have to let go and understand that :)
