Puppet Life Blind 3: Heart Of Greed

i rode a taxi way home
we passed along shanties,cracked roads..
beggars way the streets,begging for food,
i wonder where the money is spend to

the headlines are the same for a month,
the same threads in bulletins and fora,
"the president's latest trip costs $12-M", one newspaper said,
God! it could feed million streetchildren in a summertime...

i then thought why flying by to other nations?
when we ourselves were drowning in a sea of poverty?
illiteracy,deforestation...epidemics.....corruption...,
poor Philippines!a cancer of the society is breaking out...

impeach!resign! groups are crying out...
but the Palace by the River has its doors closed,
courtesy call?where?
there on a phone conversation with a European leader...

why is this happening?ask the dead Rizal or the late Marcos,
and they'll point you that sinful Seat.....
dollars and dollars..pesos and pesos..trips and trips....
for peace?really?
