Ligo (Shower) Poem by Butch Decatoria

Rain dancers

Children bring forth

The deluge

Joyous and nude

Boogie away the heat of our Cebu

Wash away the grime

The worries of Times

The sufferings

Of war, in Mindanao, in you...

Dance oh Children

Of Sulu seas

Blissful droplets

Mini Filipinos me's

Though the air force jets

Thunder overhead

Weep not lil ones

They are further dead


And now in these drops of sky

Be drank

Bathe in the Life

Which we give thanks

So, bring forth

All earthly deluge

We babes of Cebu

Bathe

In the sacrosanct

In the truth.

(this is my Philippines)

I am You.
