ONCE


Once I held you close
Red, white, and blue rose
You know how much I care
Hurting you, I would not dare
That morning smile
I miss it for awhile
That lovingly annoyed face
And laughter while in embrace
Times spent
Memories, places, events
Here I am stuck
Tried my best without luck
I know you want more
I’m such a bore
Forgive me, now, the walls are higher
I tried climbing, yet you’re spitting fire
We did reach out
But why still in doubt?
We have walked far
Please keep your door ajar
I have walked with you
Through the smiles and the blue
Your trials and pain
Them, you overcame
Every significant stride of a mile
Remember that I was there all awhile
Differences are present
Bonds can be bent
Hope not broken
Hope not all spent
Please, stop the push
Don’t beat around the bush
My wrongs are all accounted for
I need us to walk miles more
Why can’t we be ourselves like yesterday?
To be only us again, I pray
I did the best I could given the chance
Are you still open for a dance?
Once, I held you close
My red, white, and blue rose
A once not just the past
A once that will surely last

Fin?

  Last 2012, there were hearts on fire that both had their first shared flame in an unlikely place. I was thirsty for love coming from being dormant while she was searching for a redemption from a series of broken hearts. Both struggled to find their place. Both trying to live their lives free from the hideous chains of a dark home. I must admit that I fell for her beauty and add to that, her care. As we both clasped our hands, it was a committed long shot to have the perfect rest for our hearts. It was a bit strange to have an affair under the noses of all that is forbidden both profession and a line of faith. Nothing was wrong as long both were in the ecstasy of love – no malice, no foul play, no trespassing of wills. That moment was a perfect episode in a romantic film – one where young love sprang amidst treacherous circumstances. We lived through the happiness of newfound belongingness and the battle of keeping that alive. 4 years before the wedlock were filled with ups an...

Article Review on Elinita Garcia's "Gabriel Marcel: Primary and Secondary Reflection"

Summary:             Gabriel Marcel is a known French existentialist. His co-Frenchman, Jean-Paul Sartre, distinguished existentialism into two which were coined as  atheistic  and  theistic  (Christian) wherein Sartre did mention Marcel as part of the latter in lecture on Existentialism a Humanism . Marcel is a Christian existentialist because he included the divine even amidst the infamous perception of existentialism as godless. Moreover, he is also known for his non-systematic philosophy where he pointed out that the philosophical discipline starts from where one is (referring to the particularity of the situation); therefore, it is not from metaphysical assumptions or already laid down theories.             Marcel’s thoughts talk about the importance and the necessity of reflection wherein he divides it into two as a) primary reflectio...

LAND ETHICS

ON ALDO LEOPOLD’S LAND ETHIC                Most of the ethical theories deal with principles concerning rightness or wrongness that govern human interaction with other humans. Less has been the case for how humans should interact with the environment. Thus, Aldo Leopold puts forward land ethics as a layout for humanity’s relationship with the land.                Inasmuch as establishing principles of interaction between humans and the environment, it is a hard task to do since there is a need to reframe a dominating instrumentalist perspective that humans have i.e., objects are in use and should be used to achieve happiness. Part of the disposables to cater human happiness is the environment of which humans still see as a property (for consumption) rather than a coequal such as how ethical theories have always looked at humans with each other ...
