Fake Deliverance Poem by Bernard Jess Sagpang

Face down

Heart out

Hands let down

Drowning out

Chasing new breath

In surrender

Throwing out wrath

Shedding old skin

Never be the same again

He vowed



Two days passed

In the same scenario

In the same tears

In the same wounds

In the same knees

There he was



For another fake deliverance



Four days passed

And…

As expected…

There he was

Again!



Fake! Fake! Fake!

Fake Deliverance!
