the execution





betrayed in exchange

of a few thousand bills,

you were arrested by a band of unidentified men

no Miranda doctrine,

and though no handcuff was put on,

you were transported behind bars

before everyone’s eyes, in broad daylight.



no counsel,

never tried,

you went directly to the death chamber

in silence, without any opposition.

a pail of water

was splashed onto your body,

followed by the flash of electric shock,

and you laid on the ground unconscious.



it was not however the end of the ordeal.



the razor sharp blade

of a knife slashed your throat,

so brutal that blood spread all over the place,

and later,

the same

death instrument opened your abdomen wide

emptying that body with all those internal organs.

around you were witnesses,

watching quietly, perspiring.



they still watched as you were led to the last station.



tomorrow,

things will appear as if

nothing happened, and we



will feast for that mouth watering pork adobo.
