When peace becomes music
And you think it’s that
smokin-pot-flower-power-with-two-fingers-raised scene.

Saka Mo Udyukang Magwala si Marso
Ni Alexander Martin Remollino
Naghahamon ng away
ang mga bakal na dragon ni Samuel
sa bayan ni Abraham,
nagbabantang muling magtatak
ng mga bangkay

At ikaw,
ikaw na di pa nakakikita
ng mga lansangan at bukirin ng dugo
ay nag-uudyok
kay Marsong magwala roon.
