Wankette 42: A Poem from Pedring Sanidad

Manong Pedring Sanidad is an Ilocano bard. He was a regular fixture in the old Dainty Restaurant. He told me to print his new poem which is written in Filipino:

Halalan

Headline sa mga diyaryo
114 patay, 132 mga sugatan
Ito'y gawa, karahasan sa halalan
Sabi ng Malacanang Office of the President:
Peaceful ang nakaraang halalan!

Pagpapahalaga sa taong bayan, wala na kaya?
At pati kamatayan winalang halaga na
Yaon kaya'y para masunod lamang ang mithiin nila
Ng mga buwitreng sa pera masisiba.

Hanggang kailan kaya ito
Hanggang wala nang halalan na gaganapin pa?
Pero kailan?
