@deridere Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Deridere


Inside his gloomy thought
Nay to find peace within
Lone- the faces he bought
From the man of heaven;
Search valley of prayers
Book of rise and fall penned
Greatness and bitterness
Hell- no escape, destined;
Though voice calling they-names
Of roaring feeler’s art
Handful treasure of blames
Youth though, malicious heart;
Kneel- the homage to the idol
Sacrifice of a fool


(Dumaguete City, Phil.2008)


note: deridere - a Latin word means 'to mock'
- which adopted to English language
derisive meaning ' ridiculing'
