(Poetry) package of bones by Maya Daniel

Maya Daniel, Poet

this poor community has a nightmare 
from the sounds of guns and dying voice in pain, 
right the corners of defenseless homes,
squatters areas, they call, with watery alleys 
towards a dead end, so dark with no 
Batman hero is coming over to protect;

the killers are in new wave of hunting spree
weapons reloaded, commands afresh, hence
“the war against drug is far from over”
the assault isn’t on Customs, or the Davao
Connection. Paulo et al, are but bedtime stories
and the haul of worth billions of addictive drugs
are just like ordinary Christmas packages 
running early through different agencies
where an ala-Mafia arrangement, the King 
is now the supreme lord and protector, 
media people knew these dirty stories 
but just can’t tell;

this poor community has a nightmare
of sudden deaths, and packages of bones
and no Avengers are coming in to rescue
people has to struggle and resist!
