what would you not give to be a prison?
wonder how it would be like to be a prison
wretched souls trapped inside you seeking for freedom
will it not sadden you to see how unwanted you are?
or how men cheat, lie, and kill to evade your warm welcome?
such an absurd idea to be a prison!
for everyone wants to be loved, wanted, and yearned for!
but who in the right mind would want to want to enter?
to sacrifice freedom to be in such a...

do you see what i see?
i sense madness growing inside
you are a slave to this metropolis
what they command you follow
what they feed you swallow
but who am i to judge
for i too serve this wicked place
what authority do these fiends hold on us?
they are not gods nor deities
not even bastardious idols!
“are we not sick of this treatment?”
i sadly whisper to myself
for no one truly cares
no one...

Post-structuralism
Reality is what you make of it
and what you make are nuggets of shit
Whatever you’ll think of me, I won’t be a quitter
I’ll get the cynic out of you and make you a believer
But the actual truth is that you’re as hegemonic as this piece
so I’ll just find other better things that I can rhyme with ease

pretty little things aren't they?
i love how malicious the world can be
i love how many cannot see
or if they do they try not to
because what are they but pretty fools
somehow though they’ll start to think
i just hope that before they sink
just like famous empty minds
who do not read between the lines

I Am pt. 2
i am the child who runs throughout the day
i am the watcher who stays throughout the night
i am the poet who has much to say
i am the pilot who leads on the flight
i am the pessimist who never stays positive
i am the electron that always stays negative
i am the logic that truly remains cognitive
i am the kidnapper who holds citizens captive
i am the warrior, keeper of the peace
i am the...

con artist
look at the sun with a plastered grin
think all of this was terrific
but something lurks inside your soul
this atmosphere makes me sick
i do wish to know where to begin
describing this beautiful day
is it beautiful at all
i feel that i shouldn’t say

I have been half deaf
To the world full of purpose
I’m not worth living

Living
Living in a world
Where minds are all unique
Walks of life inhale the same air
But exhale different smoke
With age as experience
Life as creativity
The world as our drawing boards
Past mistakes do we ignore
Dreams we are imagining
Ideals we are innovating
The future we are taking
And care not for its own
Cause we live in a world
That knows not the fear
Of hurt or wrongdoing
But by...

this world is full of possibilities
but one thing that i’ve surely learned
never will fire be touched without suffer

one shot: numbers
the reality you know is disappointing.
it’s like you’re expecting for Koko Krunch cereals,
and all you ever got were pieces of ball-shaped shit.

Escaping
“Escaping”
Clouded in mystery
In this misery
Endless nights affect the view
To defeat the deafening lies
From the world’s disguise
Purpose now blinded by its hue
`
Escape for comfort
Live to tell
The time for us to rise
And take flight

no fireworks tonight
isn’t it sad that the world
it craves for attention
see how they are desperate
how they claw at each other
just to get a good taste of love
and the worst part is
i am no exception to this rule
i too am in dire need of affection

Optimism Murdered the Reality
“Optimism Murdered the Reality”
Sometimes the hurtful way
Is the only way to be free
Your eyes were so open
That you just forgot to see
That where the light be
The shadow’s not far behind
Slowly it creeps
Until it raises the sign
Next thing you know
No one will be there
Naivete cannot save you now
Optimism murdered the reality

do i want to share this?
no dear the universe does not care if you are wanting
because the universe itself wants something
it is guilty of that fact but it leads you to nowhere
it does this to get the better of you
accept basic human realities
we are liars we are liars and we are liars
just to keep you on your toes
and keep your hopes up
until it strikes and it takes what it wants
when it’s hunger fades and...

Do you really think that we live
in a 5-track spectrum of this universe?
Do you really think that we breathe
for quarters which most people take as a whole?
Do you really think that by being well-collected
we could do our very best at being nothing?
Don’t even think.
Worlds are ruined this way.

(In)security
“(In)security”
I am content
Happy with intent
There isn’t anything I would change
All is known, nothing strange
For my desires are set
My goals are met
I dare not dream
I dare not speak
I dare not change
For we need not hear
The sound of fear
Of being stuck on solid ground
Be deaf when war abounds
I go where the wind takes me
I now learned to know indifferently
To...

Nowhere In Sight
“Nowhere In Sight”
Day by day it grows clearer
The vision I wished now draws nearer
Then I felt a shudder along the edge
Do not try to pull me down the earth
I’m as fine as one should know
As high as the Sun could bestow
On me you see I now feel free
Clear as day
Secure now purposely
Your mind is now bottled
Now let go
Let the visions of the sky
Get you by
Now why...

Happy 6/12 Philippines!
In honor of “Independence” Day, the D.I.M. would like to post a type of Filipino poem called the Tanaga. Basically it’s a 4-liner having a 7-7-7-7 structure with a rhythmic scheme of AABB. The old Tanagas usually had no titles, so our own Tanaga got no title as well.
Good morning, dear Philippines
Gunfire and a bloody scene
Tomorrow does not hold...

look at you you poor old wreck
history could say how proud you stood
but now you lie face first on the cold hard concrete
the sons and daughters you’ve borned
look at one another with hostile eyes
trying to get the better of each other
some of them are just like you
oppressed and used like whores
it is funny how you still hold your ground and faith
and say each generation holds that...

Saint Michael of the Stallions
You will forever be part of our circle of friends
You are the reason the night never ends
Someone there to celebrate with when i’m glad
Someone there to share my sorrow when I am sad
Your extra strong personality is something to look up to
You persuade me to do things I thought I’d never do
Someone who puts me to bed in those long nights
Someone who makes me feel just right
But...

Silver binder ring .
I fall into the empty spaces of comfort
The the bed posts seem to close in on me as i drift into reverie
The fine line between a day dreams and reality have been erased and all i search for is an escape .
A breather
I whisper your name in moments of void as I lead myself towards the cold
each day brings me closer to you .

Misnomer
Perhaps I was right, or perhaps I was not
I could not bear to write another shameless poem
If you would witness the tapestry of these words
You would find yourself orbiting around these moot binaries
I would type this down on a blank texture
For all the words I have lost in every space and line breaks
Which not all of them hold true
The fate of my existence still lies within you

Live Again
“Live Again”
When we fall short
Would we choose to look back now
Forget all the worries
That wrecked our true wishes
Cause we all want to pick up the pieces
To make us live again
Yes, you and I may be broken
But truth makes us live again
Look hard at the things that made us
You know it’s you I trust
Cause we aren’t in a hurry
Now forget all the worries

Cats Learn Tricks Too
Something dangerous my heart yearns for
One thing I ask for knocking door to door
Malicious intentions filling my lazy summer
Hook or by crook I swear I’ll have her
God knows what i’d be willing to sacrifice
For her lips, her touch, and her lovely eyes
But alas nothing i can do to know her love
Just stay a dreamer wishing to the stars above

Idle
“Idle”
Wishing we knew how
To know all that went wrong
Praying to see the reasons
Behind all these poetic songs
If only you realized the things that grow idle
And feel its bitter sting in the long run
Now wouldn’t you do something
Would you even bother to care
`
An apathetic life we live in
Though we try to search for meaning
Cause we can’t help saving
Those we...
