FromOurArchives: 'Let the world watch as you pluck your enemies one by one from the ground and make them all disappear. You are a magician!' Opinion IMHO NationalHeroesDay SaysayNgKasaysayan
The following text is a transcript of an original Spoken Word piece by the author, first performed at Proyekto’s “That Martial Law Thingy: A Public Lecture and Open Forum” last September 10, 2016 at Gateway Gallery.You must always win. Top all your exams; marry the most beautiful woman from the south. Legends are winners who keep on winning, so by all means win.
Your name will ring into ascent, and soon, the whole world will become so instinctively attuned to your victory that they will never know of your defeat. Raise beautiful children. Instill upon them your ideals. They will keep your name blaring in the sound waves even long after you’re gone; your waxed corpse frozen by the cold-bloodedness of your legacy.Run for the highest seat in the land. Your iron fist will fit that iron throne like an iron glove. Baby, you were born for this.
They will return in fleets and dragons ready to reclaim the kingdom that has long forgotten. Relish as they bring an entire nation and its history to its knees. Warped, mutated, and repackaged, your memory will resonate across a hundred million people begging to be hurt the way they were hurt in your reign.Sit back and relax as they slowly sink your body six feet underneath the same graveyard that cradles the fallen; the brave men who once fought you and your kind – we called them heroes.
