Poem: Marawi Siege year after




One year after
Horror of experiences flashed back
Casualties are remembered
Heroisms are honored
Important to note
The inter-faith survival stories in the ground

As days passed by
In the lives of survivors
Neglect and discrimination
Less representation
Lack of spaces for participation
How comprehensive is the rehabilitation?

In the tent cities
In the temporary shelters
Under the roof of relatives
Or judgemental communities
It is much more difficult
Than of what the PR people's reports

Horrors of the past
Horrors of the present
Not just digging the unexploded arsenals
But the lives and dignity's fundamentals
