(In memory of Prof. Jose Ma. Cui)
By Mila D. Aguilar
Killing them one by one,
You think you’re doing humanity a favor.
Not like Indonesia, after all,
A million in one swoop.
Here you’re targeting
The best of a generation: Just getting “commies”
Out of the loop, so that
You can mix your own soup.
Who was it that said
You can’t kill an idea by shooting it
Dead. And yet you just
May succeed, you evil weed.
Preparing for the coming
Of your Wicked One, the antinomy of mine.
Only remember you have but
Three and a half years
To spread your seed
And then your end will come for all time.
Oh, you’ll get your chance
Again, after a thousand
But the reversal will be
Compleat. So accept your defeat, beat a retreat,
Leave my world to me
And Him, who’s my eternity.
