I pray all of you teenaged hedonistic heathens who didnt do anything in the five days after the collective national funeral, that makatikim sana kayo ng kalupitan, karahasan, at kadiliman na bumalot sa bansa magmula 1971 hanggang 1986.
Sana ay maranasan ninyo ang takot na nagmumula sa pangangailangang manahimik upang mabuhay.

It has been close to a decade since I last considered myself a political.
As a citizen of a nation, I considered it my duty in January 2001 to step forward into the streets, gather at the crossroads of history, and abide by a hastened succession in line with a rule of law amended by popular outcry from the streets.
Now, I watch my news feeds, observe my Plurk timelines, listen to AM radio, and despair.
Not only are the ones who should be sallying forth carrying the torch my generation drops from nerveless fingers nerveless already, some glory in historical revisionism 20 and 30 years hence.
In less than a year, the opportuntiy comes once more for me, as a contribtor to this nation to make my choice be read. I wonder, if any of the choices then will be worthy.
I look for an excuse to raise my voice.
I look for those who will stand with me.
I wonder and gaze at the wasteland to be.

Today is Memorial Day in the US.
And I know this is a UK poem, but then again... all war is hell.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
— Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 - 1918)

Feel it as the crowd surges past.
Long lingering vapid smiles condescending on the mob. Hollow eyes larger than life gaze into nothing, and the mob gazes back.
I am tired of feeling fearful, for myself.
I grow tired of my state.
I feel the darkness surround, engulf, drowining out all others.

You are the Hanged Man
Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.
With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of
loss from a situation, rather than gain.
The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.
The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.
What Tarot Card are You?

That'll be the audience. Ahahahaha.

So U.P. is caught in a dilemma. How to keep out elements which are admittedly disruptive of an academic environment, if not downright criminal, and yet not disenfranchise the vast majority of those who have a right to visit the place simply by virtue of their being law-abiding citizens. It is, after all, THE national university.
