		<description><![CDATA[Domestic helpers. Mail-order brides. Exporters of human labor. Scammers.
These are how people the world over have come to know us, Filipinos. And sometimes, I can’t blame them. For though it’s not completely true that these are what constitute us as a people, it’s not completely false either.

The voice of worry reigns over
my jaded soul’s fitful attempts
to rest my eyes from the landscape
of my broken dreams in the forsaken
sky of busted wings; its discordant tune
humming a boisterous music that knows
no melody; chanting lyrics
that cut through the hope that resides
within me.

		<description><![CDATA[Muted sighs your lips refuse to release
Linger in the air, snatching silence’s peace;
But I, looking through the hazy mist,
See only the caricature of what was once
Your beautiful face and, not really seeing it,
I read the thoughts that reside only in my head
Overlooking the warning in the smile
That escapes your tightly pursed lips.
