DIASPORA

BY:OSCAR PICAZO


My grandpa went to HAWAII
My mother is in CALIFORNIA
My father died in SAUDI ARABIA
My sister is a maid in HONGKONG
My brother is singing in JAPAN
My cousin married an AUSTRALIAN
We are no JEWS
But everybodys LEAVING
I pray I go to HEAVEN...




Filipinos are really pond of leaving the country, eithier to work, live there or to marry there.
The author expresses a deep sorrow of being alone in his country to the point he also want to leave, not to somewhere else but to HEAVEN, the place where peace and happiness can be achieved. How I wish too, but not now, maybe someday, I'm still happy here on earth...
