EDEN SORIANO TRINIDAD

Our Stronghold In The Days Of Trouble

The future is terrifying
Uncertain we all know
Or pretend nothing is happening
We do not want to show.

As if “Nothing is going on…”

How frighten it would be
If we just see a rerun of our lives
Our world sometimes falls apart
Unbearable how could we survive

Like a slave tempted to run away
or jump from a high place to end life’s misery
How we immersed as champions
Our faith still holds…

Life’s storms are stories and history
In merriment we forget our weary
We take refuge and strength, Behold!
God is still our stronghold.










The Pangs Of Humanity

Men are created in God's very image
But how come this beautiful creation became evil?
Men turned into murderers, robbers, rapist and uncivil.
It all began from the garden of Eden
When the Serpent started to corrupt Eve's mind
He sowed the seed that men can be liked God
And that they will never die,
If they eat of that forbidden fruit.
The Lord meant it good for men
Giving them the paradise to live in
But men chose to bite the bait
Their hearts and minds has been filled of poison
From then on...
Men chose the easy paths but evil ways.
Life became difficult
Sin crept so easily.
Men and women embrace worldly things
Stepping upon each other’s foot, pulling each other down
Back stabbing one another to SURVIVE.!
The evil is the same in every society
Because of poverty, greed, grievances
Love of money, hunger for power and fame
Those who are poor and helpless
The powerless and shameless
Becomes the victims of those that are powerful
Famous and greedy.
Our political leaders never gets tired of sweet promises
Promises that they never meant to relish
This is our world, our haven, our  shelter
Sadly, our leaders who run this world
Some no longer blushes for their actions
There's no other way to change the hearts of men
Unless we behave and become truly humane.










What Is Humanity For You?

You seek helpers so someone could take care of your households
You employ maids so someone could do the household chores
You hire nannies so someone could take care of your kids.
You pay workers so someone could manage your industries.

They are not a pig!
They are not robots!
They are not your puppets!
They are not your house slaves!

They are hired as house helpers.
They applied as nannies for your tots.
They worked as domestic helpers.
They worked to earn a living…

Seeking for a domestic helper but actually want a slave
Keeping their passports and without a day off
Working as housemaids does not give you the right to enslave
Expect them to work thoroughly yet deny them sleep and not eat decently.

Is humanity only for men in power, the rich and famous?
That workers and house helpers are your properties?
Oh! where is humanity in all of this?
For you they are not human but just slaves.
