"Opening The Dams"

"Opening The Dams"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD


I

 We are all drowning

And as people cry out for help

The people who should help

Have now opened up the stream


II 

They have freed the water

From the Dam it was held

And have now attempted to drown

A village already submerged


III

And Some of the people

Though dying still give praise

The water is for me they say

As if they can still be saved.


Optum , Quezon City. August 21 2021. 2:2am. Poem 21 of 30.
