* Vote-Buying Election Aftermath Poem by Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan

the vote-buyer politicos
once elected
become the typhoon's eye
overseeing beyond public welfare
with whirlpool wind of administrative catastrophe
in controlling public opinion
in manipulating public offices of distrust
thru political storm of avarice

when poor voters sell poor votes
to the vote-buyer exploiting politicos;
poor voters are bargaining
the supreme rights of suffrage
then voters curtail the rights to stand back
against vote-buyer politicos' graft practices

when the vote sellers - the poor voters
stand back against vote-buyer politicos' malpractices
and wickedness in between terms;
poor voters simply abridge the buy and sell contract
thus, it creates chaos, imbalance, disorder

poor voters expect more odd angles
of corruptions and grafts.
vote-buying politicos simply pooling back
the elections costs
simply eyeing the election ROI and its
speedy recovery of its damages,
simply extending the tentacles of power
for racketeering profits inside
the Philippine own political dynasty
