Stuff it in a box
Kick it down the stairs
Drag it 'round the room
Stab it with a knife
Fling it hard outside
Crash it 'neath your heel
Smash it with your fist
Sira na siya, wasak na 'to,
Basag na, pero
sige lang, sige lang, sige lang
Ulit ulitin mo pa
parang hindi pa sapat ang
nagawa mo sa kanya.
[It's damaged, it's broken,
It's shattered but
go on, go on, go on,
keep this up
It's as if what you did to it
is not enough.]
So continue and...
Maim it wit a dart
Hit it very hard
Push it 'gainst the wall
Claim its f*ckin' soul
Sira na nga siya, at wasak na 'to
Basag pero
sige lang, sige lang, sige lang
paulit ulit mong gawin
hindi pa sapat ang
ginagawa mo sa kanya
[It's already damaged, and it's broken,
shattered but
go on, go on, go on,
do it over and over,
what you did to it
is not enough.]
Squeeze its life away
Rip it with your hands
Throw the chunks aside
Bathe yourself in blood
Hindi pa sapat ang
pagsira mo sa kanya
[It's not enough
that you have broken it..]
Author notes
angry write. i guess my anger from my latest poem carried this over, since i did this a night or so after that one.
Once again, this is a figurative representation of how I view people who create "victims" (all sorts of victims) The title BIKTIMA is the filipino word for "victim" (yes, i know i am so creative *rolls eyes*) FYI, "it" = dignity

Glad you pointed out that 'it' was dignity cos I'm one of those people that just don't pick those things up sometimes. A very angry write indeed. It seemed very (forgive my music terminology) staccato. I loved the incorporation of Phillipino as well
That was really cool!

very good
I am glad that days like this are far behind me. Seldom now do I lose my temper.
A very interesting read.

great
I'm sort of frightened..
This was awesome!
But.. i loved this.. lol -
Un, it's a very harsh poem, even the way its written too, short sentances, and the words are all so jagged
And I see you have two shiny trophies!!! Well done!!!
Missing you (its been so long since we talked @_@)

The use of both languages was a very good idea, though I'm glad you translated it!! lol... An amazing write my at-least-bilingual friend!

Wow, was this ever fierce! Man, I sure could feel the wrath in this all. It was truly chilling.
I am not totally sure what language this is, though I can guess. It is nice to see a very unique tongue, just as Greg's Gaelic. Very nice, indeed.
