‘Shocking’ News
By Carlo G. Soldevilla
Written on September 25, 2013

This is a shocking news that may surprise anyone,
When the stout, brown horse bit its master’s organ.
I don’t find it good to make a poem out of this.
I hope this won’t offend you, I beg you please.
They said an evil spirit came inside the horse.
But they used it (the horse) daily for transportation, of course.
Maybe the horse was provoked by its master’s red shirt
That made it bit his master’s most precious bird.
For privacy purposes, the horse’s master’s name was called Roldan.
Of course he is not from my place in the City of Kidapawan.
He lives in Malita- No, it’s not a Visayan luggage bag.
It’s somewhere near Digos. Just read the highway tag.
The master’s 19 years old and was just newly wed.
His wife’s 4 months pregnant , she might worry in bed.
But she can’t do anything except to accept the fate.
Bad things sometimes happen, maybe early or late.
What can I do ? What can I do?
The doctor tried to reconstruct ‘your being you.’
‘Let’s wait what would happen if there’s a need to ‘amputate’.
I pray it would be restored, G-d have mercy on his fate.
Note: I watched this news on TV last night, and I’ve just read about it from the Manila Bulletin dated September 25, 2013. No malice intended in writing this poem. My apology if this would somehow affect the horse victim. The sad event happened yesterday in the Philippines, the country where I was born.
