Shot in the arm

Finally, I have received
the shot in the arm
that was very much needed.
I am humbled by the experience
for he has made it shown
he has exclaimed it
and I am struck
by the reality of it
and it is good
that it happened
for trust is finally
established

The argument
was that
too early did I
worry
that the sky was
falling
that with all, in all
falsehood
the sky would fall
that the humble and noble
is not present
that the trust
was not given
yet more is the reality
the more immediate
truth
that I have been
too boastful
a peacock up there
feathering, ignoring
not giving importance
to the presence
within my kind
And it is as I have shown
invading, imposing
directing, forcefully
forgetting, disregarding
I have been blinded
a myopia that hasn’t
seen the white light
the truth had been told
the unfolding of myself
my manifestation
mirrored to my very being
by another.

I have become
because of what has been
Afford me that argument
For i feel it is legitimate

I appeal
for
understanding

I am humbled and
thankful
that finally I have come to know
It has been quite some time
since
But better to be
than never and not be

Thankful of a response
feedback for my actions
I am now called to react
not in vengeance
but in grateful acceptance

Reflection has worked
This is the transcendence

But I am also sorry
Sorry to he that had made
it known
To those that know
Apologetic for
I have known my lesson
for there was an overflow
of emotions, a giving up
of anger
An unleashing of dissent
Fed up and discontent

What great timing it is
The end of a year
The coming of a new one

Let it be known
Let it be heard
that I must proceed
from what I have learned
with what I have come to know
that I must remove
what I have been
what I have become
that I must transform these
into new qualities
for there is still chance to learn
from mistakes

But like everything
I must be reminded
But I will give my best
effort
to reform

It is night
the sun has descended
a faint light
breaking through
the darkness
There will be a rising
an awakening from sleep
A new day shall ascend
witnessed by the sun:
The coming of
tomorrow.

I,PO

“What if Lebron were an IPO.”
- A-WSHJ Ad

To think about it,
I am an IPO.
I was once offered by my parents
to the public, ceremonies
like baptism formally
announced my entrance
into the Catholic faith.
I have my own valuation
my own strengths and weaknesses
opportunities to my long-term goals
threats to my daily activities
my health, my person-hood.
I am invested in
millions toward education
vaccinations for normal functioning
medicines, knowledge assets
poured into my intellect
I have forecasts
my future brings expectations
future earnings, future partnerships
brings value to my stocks
And so shall I have daily
plus and minuses
ups and downs
greens and reds.
Performance ratings
to gauge and test
I will also give back
an IPO for
EPS

Valuation

Spurred by a reading
to write and reflect
Here is one who says
What is the worth
the sense, importance
of doing well
of giving effort, your best
If there have been others
who do not
and end up in positions
of luxury, success?

He is one who deserves
no argument
But one who deserves
my pity, my wishes
of good luck.

Why are you here in the first place?
Is it for a good resume
for good credentials
Maybe so
While each of us has reasons
subject to our pasts and dreams
I myself am reminded
of a great opportunity
a great luxury
at present

While we all have these
heartaches …

“…there is still that us
touched by a spirit..
who choose to genuinely
build communities founded
on justice, to found enterprises
that serve true needs,
to lawyer for the oppressed,
and to doctor for the poor.”
