“Pride and Shame”


Soliloquy

5 a.m. My body has endured the excruciating pain of


giving multiple births at the same time
My body has been wired to awaken its
slumbering cadaver With just one pull of a trigger

Not to be extra early for work, But instead of giving birth to an exquisite
blessing
But to prepare breakfast for my family
It gave birth to bloody war

6 a.m.
A war that has made oceans and seas believe
I have washed away the toxins of our society
That they were never, the color, blue to begin
That have polluted by exterior being
with

But they were red, blood red


7 a.m.
The color of my sister’s lipstick when she goes
I am on my way to replenish my soul’s thirst and to midnight parties
hunger
The color of the viscous fluid that courses
For the justice my country and I are struggling to through my arteries
grasp
The color that haunts someone when they’ve
seen more than they could appease

I wear my blue uniform with pride and shame


The oceans and seas cry at every infuriated
splash of salty, lifeless, blood colored water that
Pride hits the shore
Pride because I have died too many times in this For it embodied the deaths of guilty and
lifetime innocent lives
To instill in my very heart and mind That have been put to an end to achieve what
That my decision to serve our country is still they would call
right Justice
I swim in this ocean everyday as I go to work But it wasn’t just I who pledged all these

Hearing the cries of the acquitted souls that have Thousands nationwide swore to fulfill the same
been included in a war they had no involvement duty
in

Sisters, brothers, children, fathers and mothers


They, who used to enforce the law, have sided
As I bring myself up to shore, against it

I am gasping for air Forgetting the oaths, detriments, and blissful


moments
I am dragged down by the drops of blood
It took to stand where they stand at present
That have been shed by souls

Drops that have latched onto my skin and have


seeped deep into my existence Now they’re selling drugs

There is now a pain I cannot take away by the Mistreating inmates


mere consumption of drugs and pills
Forcing women to satisfy their sexual desires
For it is a pain that no doctor can diagnose or
And putting innocent lives to waste
feel
I could go on and on and on

But that would make me look bad


Shame
Now wouldn’t that be a disgrace?
Shame because people of this society now see us
as the enemy

An enemy to be scorned

An enemy to be ridiculed

An enemy to be feared

Do they know that

I pledged my whole life and verve to the


Philippine flag

I pledged to pour every ounce of vicious courage


within the hollow temple of my mighty body

I pledged to protect righteous civilians from


sinful criminals who bring nothing but suffering
to my home

I am willing to sacrifice my life in exchange for


their peace
