Life
by Romar Pabustan
Life is not
Like a movie--
Life is stranger;
Weirder— it is
more mysterious;
more perilous
than a movie.

Fashion
by Romar Pabustan
It is an art,
An art of trickery,
To conceal a truth--
Truth beauty,
To create a new look.--
A brand new art,
the ART-ificiality.
................................................................................
Ideas
by Romar Pabustan
Ideas
are not mind’s work.
Ideas
are being whispered
by Angels
Which God has given
as blessing.
The blessing in holy disguise…

Juvenile Delinquency
by Romar Pabustan
People on their time of confusions;
to show outlandish emotions;
to illustrate self-expressions;
of their misunderstood missions;
of their misunderstood transitions;
to get mom’s love and affection;
to get dad’s pride and attention…

Advertisement
by Romar Pabustan
Trap, just a trap;
a hypnosis;
a sweet illusion--
said and done--
is all (more)
about wealth

Problem and Solution
by Romar Pabustan
Problem is not problem;
Is not life’s part;
Is just nothing.
Solution, finding solutions,
Is the real problem;
Is the man‘s unseen aim.
Emancipation
Emancipation is a chimera,
like blindfolded man
sees (nothing,except)
the superior (and inferior)
but,
In reality,
is a fiction…
The most fictitious word
in the world of lexicography
take off the blindfold,
The man still lives in slavery.
................................................................................
Problems
by Romar Pabustan
I agree,
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel,
Yet the tunnel is unimaginably stretched.
I agree,
There’s still light at the end of tunnel,
Yet the light is dimly lit.
I agree,
There’s light and even wider than the darkness
Yet more tunnels sooner to pass through….

Education
by Romar Pabustan
Knowledge vs. ignorance
Diligence vs. indolence
Virtue vs. vice
Theory vs. opinion
Dream vs. despair
Active vs. passive
Diplomacy vs. indiscretion
The battle is on… still.
................................................................................
Discrimination
by Romar Pabustan
The
world’s
most
incurable
man-made
disease…
and it will
never be
cured
for
sure.
................................................................................
Racism
by Romar Pabustan
It
is the
world’s
most
Trivial
and funniest law
that
ever
made in
world history--
Classifying
peoples’s roles in a society
based on skin tones.
................................................................................
Music
by Romar Pabustan
It is an opinion
Others like it
Others don’t
It may be soothing
… enthralling
… disturbing
… unworthy.
It may be seen like a painting or
… like a graffiti.
Others love it
Others don’t.
It’s an opinion.

Belittlement
by Romar Pabustan
They bow
their
heads
because of gold
on the ground
I bow
mine
because of pillory.

Filipino
by Romar Pabustan
Good-natured people ever since
Proof is the history.
Touché!
They never invaded any territory
They never think of building an empire
They never discriminate peoples (unless).
Touché!
Haven of hospitability
Paradise of versatility
Sanctuary of various arts
Asylum of artisan.
Touché!
Humility…
Open-mindedness …
Benevolence…
Hence,
They are supreme on the eye of God
(Filipino)
Yesterday
…became underdog;
…became inferiors;
…became victims,
Amiability and kindheartedness were their Achilles' heels
Today,
…become survivors;
…become sturdy;
…become fighters,
Versatility and adaptability are their armaments
Tomorrow,
…will become champions;
…will become world’s heroes;
…will become shining stars,
Invasion of the world through
Being a Filipino will be
Their breakthroughs.
(Filipino)
Like
Star will shine,
Phoenix will arise,
Reincarnation will occur,
Cloudy water will settle down,
Dream will come true.
Being a Filipino is the rejoinder…

Suicide
by Romar Pabustan
SELF-PITY, SELF-PITY, SELF-PITY
SELF-PITY, SELF-PITY, SELF-PITY
SELF-PITY myself SELF-PITY
SELF-PITY, SELF-PITY, SELF-PITY
SELF-PITY, SELF-PITY, SELF-PITY
(Suicide)
Will the world cry
…. If I die?
Or just nothing
…like a rotten rat dying?
If I’ll go now
…would they remember my worth?
Or just nothing
…like an ember dying?
................................................................................
Retort
by Romar Pabustan
You’re the key,
But I am the locksmith
You’re on the pulpit
But I am on the pedestal
You’re excellent
But I am perfect…
................................................................................
Pretension
by Romar Pabustan
Let me tell you
Straightforwardly
Of that an advantage of pretending
I had found out the secret
To get the heart
And be
Befriended
Was just to listen like a dupe
And pretend
that you were persuaded or swayed
On their
doings and sayings.
................................................................................
Wickedness
by Romar Pabustan
I still believe that everyone has own wickedness
Even the children of God,
Even the salts of the earth,
Even the paragon of virtues,
No one can escape from wickedness,
Even you and I…
are you?
................................................................................
Painting
by Romar Pabustan
Painting
is the craziest
wasting time of life
of stupidity
But a stupidity of realizing
the meaning of
crazy
life and time.
................................................................................
Teaching
by Romar Pabustan
Ahhh… It’s paramount!
No one can replace this vocation
No one can ever be
It’s eternal as infinity…
No beginning, no ending.
For sickness, sacrifice and sufferings,
No matter what will happen on our world
Teaching is paramount!
................................................................................
Mind
by Romar Pabustan
Mind
is like water
in a pool,
If water is rippling
It’s hard
to see the bottom
Yet,
If the water
is rested
It’s clear…
................................................................................
Women
by Romar Pabustan
And yes, they are weak and sensitive
And yes, they are overly expressive
And yes, they are unfathomably passive.
And yes, they are…
And yes, they were….
And yes, they will be…
Women, women, women,
Though they are women
They have exceptional personae
Irreplaceable aestheticism of intelligence
That nothing the men have.
No man has
And finally, we, men, will admirably utter,
“Yes, they are women!”
................................................................................
Bleak Future
by Romar Pabustan
Endless wars—Blood!
Immobilized…
Polluted…
Perilous calamities—Catastrophe!
Gluttony…
Sloth…
Greedier leaders—Death!
Barren…
Antediluvian…
Crying hearts—Hopeless!
Agony…
Crime…
Various pandemic—Damned!
Living steel…
Chaotic life…
Blazing sky…
Last judgment Day!
We decide.
