whispering hope


God, did you somehow oversleep?
when for hours she whirled
destroying everything she touched
we’re left with lives lost and little to keep.


If she wanted our spirit fazed
she has totally failed
Yolanda, you could not be a Filipina
though strong, you fizzled fast. Ha!


While left with nothing, a Pinoy is strong and steadfast
since for many, as for these two lowly ones,
with great support and millions helping us
there’s hope for a merrier Christmas.
