Reading T.S. Eliot's , " The Wasteland " at age thirteen in the Philippines moments before Mt. Pinatubo blew up.
The first time someone pointed a gun to my face in high school.
The first time I read Al Robles's poetry.
The friends that got me arrested.
My family members who were abused during Martial Law and still remained in the Philippines.
My first concert at People's Park in Quezon City, w/ the Philippine Violators, the WUDS and some guy going into a frenzy , holding knives in each hand while slamdancing.
I'm looking for spirituality and peace through words.
I came to Vallejo Ca. from the Philippines in 1993 and having been writing about why I left ever since.
My catharsis are these words and this bellow rising from my psyche is an echo from a neo-colony in turmoil.
Blueprints to conquer the world never had contingency plans for the children of manifest destiny.
The chaos lives on through me, the screaming pleas of a spiteful colony are smashing at my rib cage.
