PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Damn right...

We need you for the job.

But though you are paying us,

You are not our masters-

And never will be.



Damn right...

We are working for you.

So this salary ain't free,

Never ever say we owe it to you-

We earned it: blood, tears, and sweat.



But damn!!!

It is not fair and square!

To give what is not due,

Just because we are foreigners

Second class for not being Westerners?!



So damn!!!

This is not labor justice!

To look over our rights

And take every bit of opportunity

To use us and deduct amounts in our meager salary!



Damn right!!!

That's contemporary extortion

Right on our faces

And you still smile greedily

Because you want more! more! MORE!



Damn right!!!

You think you know better.

But Filipinos know you best.

We're trained to endure worse situations

From our motherland with maximum tolerance.



And yes!!!

The Ultimate Judge is listening

To the woes of His oppressed people,

And His justice shall prevail

Everywhere- especially where you are.



So damn right!!!

We need you- but you need us the most.

You think you have got it made, go laugh some more.

But you're so damn wrong,

We're just waiting for our time.
