Magazine

Here was another outburst of my anger in 1991. I guess, no other celebrated case had a very great impact on me than Maureen's case. I even cut clippings of her published in newspapers and magazines. But I wasn't able to keep them well, especially when we had to transfer from one place to another in search for a better place to stay. I kept an enlarged picture of her youthful smile published by the Philippine Star. Lo and behold, it was one of those carried away by flood when it hit us hard...


Magazine


The pain stings
nearest my heart
over a magazine
displayed in the streets
shouting for justice
of the woman felled
by mysterious blow.

I wish to see the light
on the man who pumped
a lead to Maureen's plea!
