“Writing in Color” – Makati, 04 July 2016

write off
your darker
energies;
let the
darkness
flow out
into the
ink
of your
pen.

scribble away
in a
frenzy
and tell
your story
as only
you can;
tell the
world
to screw
itself –
who needs
the ominous
mouthings
of prejudiced
of blinded
of braying
asses?

do your
own thing,
write your
own tale
and mayhap
it finds
its way
to another;
cycle
of creation
of realization
of redemption
beginning anew.
