"The Quarter Bringeth"

"The Quarter Bringeth"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

 

I

I would have closed my eyes

but then I could not

I clench my fist instead

and see all the things that are not

II

A quarter left of my time

And I am still mired

Listening to the same things

And hoping that it will be fine

III

People can't change they say

So I expect the chaos to erupt soon

A little more , A little More

We'd hear so much howling to the moon.
