Evacuation

By Tomasito T. Talledo

           It was told under the crescent moon
 our father and his father's father
 had breath freely.

         But my son and I cannot.

     We have nowhere to salaam,
 the waters of the Lake has receded.
   
     Gunfires in place of murmuring crickets
 dirged our fastings.

      The evacuation centers are filled
 with hunger cries.

      If gunmen come tomorrow,
 we move to Paradise.
