EDIT: Okay, I don't know why DA deleted the description or something, but it happened. Now I have to write a new one, and this one won't be so long. So I guess that's okay for you all.

In any case, I haven't written poetry in a LONG LONG time. Very long. I had fairly just given up on it. Why? Because I sucked, and I didn't want to really think of beats and whatnot. Writing for spoken word is so much easier, and fancier, and I can tweak things more and go out of bounds as much as I want. And I like the sound of it in my head - sort of like drums and breaks.

So this piece is about pride in the Filipino culture. I always get mad when there's the sort of Filipino who doesn't have pride, and denies it as much as he can. If you ask me, HE is the embarrassment to the Filipino culture, more so than the dogs, cowards, and traitors of the Filipino government.

This is actually a second part to a poem that my friend wrote called "People Power". She wrote it beautifully, and the pride was practically jumping off the page. Her poem is going to go into the PCN skit I'm writing at the moment, but I was so inspired that I added to it. That and this piece MIGHT go into the closing, because hers is the opening piece. Ohhhh theatrics. Such a great creative outlet.
