Red Signature
Looming thunder’s about to erupt by mouth
Not once but twice in secluded gloom
Salient fear couching in saucer’s blood bath
The fighting spirit’s unfolding in one soul to form
Latent vengeance engulfing life’s aftermath
So valiant lamenting nemeses to doom
Dare no devil, better justice must be fought
Here, mighty scepter’s eyes everyone must conform
Now, the echo of yesteryear’s maladies spread forth
Gasping and sucking were theirs for men in uniform
Detractors blindfolding justice; vying as if their cohort
For a defenseless subject their whims stood as to inform
The last thread of life now’s not in your hand but on both
Divulge the scalded truth they lawlessly hid as their own
Said, this courage maybe barred when they brought death
But the sympathy of this pen shall set my fallen justice bloom
[Long live the legacies of the Philippine Journalists whose courage remain incorruptible.]
