Unhatched poetry

Dear Readers:

I don't mean to deject from the structured journalism that this website is meant to be. Instead, it is only a way of breaking the monotony of reading so much about things now pestering most of us as we carry on with our lives. And perhaps, there is good reason to find an alternative genre--an outlet for the soul.

Thanks and happy reading!!!

Unhatched poetry

sometimes,
in my languid hours
creeps emptiness,
yes, it is.
devoid of flesh,
but lifeless shadows
i could only figure out in dreams.

sometimes,
it helps to be alone
cause the gods have slumbered
in my fevered moment,
while fervent wishes of a new day
strikes me
like a bolt of lightning,
paralyzing my bones.
the longing pierced the soul,
yes, the soul in me
now filled with the tapestry of hopes
like ephemeral traces in the pristine sand
yet, i find satisfaction in seeing your fresh pink lips
herald the break of a new day.
those smooth tresses
as glowing feathers of a peacock
that metamorphosed from the grip of your soft hands

does it matter now
if i succumb to the calls of the night birds?
still my thoughts wander
and i couldn't find an appropriate answer,
only from the breeze
as i inhale the heave of your sighs:
the rhythm of your griefs
now insulated in the verses of
an unhatched poetry.

Opening of public lands for agri-developments

For many decades, vast tracts of forest lands are damaged across the Philippines. These are either the handiwork of nature like soil erosions, landslides, tremors or they're simply man-made due to humans' greed for immediate cash if only to survive. By all means, those who are within the proximity of the forests are free to do whatever they thought was best for them to survive or earn fast cash.  Notably, the most common practice that upland dwellers do is the cutting of firewood, slash-and-burn farming to plant crops even if these activities run counter to established forestry regulations that forbid them from doing these activities without permission from the authorities. Without a land of their own, they have to do it anyway. While some armed groups would simply engage themselves in illegal logging activities for profits. Forestry reports said that they even encroach on other's logging concessions to cut trees for sale to interested buyers. When I was working with the Mi

China is to blame for the pandemic spread

Had the Chinese government taken the initiative or done enough to immediately contain the novel Coronavirus from spreading waywardly into other areas, this pandemic wouldn't have gone too far to pester other countries like Italy, the United States and the Philippines whose governments had declared a lockdowns thus causing extreme fears among the people, not to mention the derailments of some economies worldwide. But the provincial government, where Wuhan is an integral part of, acted too late to lockdown the place. The local government in Wuhan should have prevented residents from getting out, especially those who were infected by the virus. Sorry to say this, but the Wuhan government officials were lackadaisical in their approach to the health dilemma, thinking that the problem was just an ordinary matter which didn't require much attention. Until the problem got worse resulting to some deaths in the area had they known of Covid-19's serious impacts on the health of innoce
