"CAPTIVE"

-Mando (Armand Reyes Lucaas)

I felt the rush flowing through my veins. What am I supposed to do?
Wherever I look, there's trouble in sight.
I need help, I really do. Oh please offer your hands and pull me from death.
It's not yet my time, it can't be over!
"Calm down! I'll call for help." A soft voice from nowhere quietly found its way on this
cold, dark place.
Lying here in this pitch black space, I can't dare be steady.
"Who are you? I'm begging you to help me."
My arms are well raised waiting for that someone to suddenly reach out and take my
aching cold hands.
Footsteps on a watery floor were all I could hear. It was gone in a second.
It was a few minutes of deafening silence that followed.
Waiting.......and waiting........but no one came
(Gunshot)
"What was that? Oh no! I can't die now, I just can't!"
Heavy footsteps are getting nearer.
A conversation I can't understand turned louder and louder.
Suddenly, a bright light blinded my eyes.
Two men covered with weapons stood in front of me, looked at me as if I have done
something wrong.
Their eyes were burning with anger.
"Quantre de ista landa go halumik! Orto de amoga bin laskar buro!"
One man held me up then threw me like a trash.
"Stop it! Oh please!"
I begged for mercy, only to be turned down.
The other man left with some random words. I knew that it was about time.
(Gunshot)
Alone and helpless, I will soon face death.

A drop of tear left my eye.

It's all done.

BAD GIRL
Hey! Every Body seems to be staring at me.. You! You! All of you!
How dare you to stare at me? Why? Is it because Im a bad girl? A
bad girl I am, A good for nothing teen ager, a problem child? Thats
what you call me! I smoke. I drink. I gamble at my young tender
age. I lie. I cheat, and I could even kill, if I have too. Yes, Im a bad
girl, but where are my parents? You! You! You are my good
parents? My good elder brother & sister in this society were I live?
Looklook at meWhat have you done to me? You have
pampered and spoiled me, neglected me when I needed you most!
In trusted me to a yaya, whose intelligent was much lower than
mine! While you go about your parties, your meetings and gambling
sessions Thus I drifted away from you! Longing for a fathers
love, yearning for a mothers care! As I grow up, everything change!
You too have change! You spent more time in your pokers, mahjong
tables, bars and night clubs. You even landed on the headline of
the news paper as crook, peddlers and racketeers. Now, you call
my name; accuse me in everything I do to myself? Tell me! How
good you are? If you really wish to ensure my future Then
hurry.hurry back home! Where I await you, because I need you
Protect me from all evil influences that will threaten at my very own

understanding But if I am bad, really badthen, youve got to

help me! Help me! Oh pleaseHelp me!
