At least, I now rest
It hurts. Burning.
The acid on my face. The shame.
The knife wounds. The blame.
I painted my dream in color;
t'was shortlived...four months.
Painful. Hellish. A nightmare.
At least, I now rest,
suffering no more;
without aches and burns,
and weepings and sleepless fears.
For people like me,
death is a sweet embrace.
My story will be told,
between sobs and bottled anger.
My family's hurt will last long.
My name repeated countless times,
with prayers and remembrances
and then...
I'll be forgotten,
just like the others.
Until someone suffers
a similar fate:
Left for Saudi with a bag;
Leave Saudi in a bag.
You with ears, listen.
You with a heart, listen more.
:( Nakakalungkot. I hope justice will be served.
Let us offer a minute of prayer to our sister Romilyn Eroy-Ibanez for an eternal repose of her soul and may justice be served in a swift manner on her brutal death.
kinilabutan ako sa poem mo nebz pero mas kinikilabutan ako sa panlolokong ginawa ng agent ni Romilyn na nagpadala sa kanya sa Saudi! Do they have conscience?
this is sad :(
Galing ng pagkagawa ninyo nito, Kuya Nebz! Salute ant two-thumbs up!
Sana'y mabigyan ito ng katarungan.
