to a rebel poet
you penned a bitter life
the paper bled and burned with your blood
i drained the tears
in your empty eyes
you dreamt of better days
while fighting underground
i heard the muses cried
when you died a hundred deaths
when bullets rained your body
and the last drop
of your blood stained the ground
with your last poem
Feature: Poet of place, poet of Cebu by Alfred A. Yuson (from The Philippine STAR 03/18/2002)
