Always remember
the Mendiola Massacre
of 1987.
The worn out slippers
and the numerous calloused feet,
searching for each other.
Intercepted, interrupted
by the wrath of guns,
chasing the farmers away
from the one who seats in power.
Always remember
the Mendiola Massacre
of 1987.
Thirteen bodies, lying on the street.
Thousands howled in pain and anger.
When the farmers asked for land,
the answer is firing guns.
Always remember
the Mendiola Massacre
of 1987.
