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.
