I am awfully sorry
legendary Shakespeare
I can't seat beside at your throne

I am so sorry
famous Edgar Allan Poe
I can't toss and drink
the wine of your fame

and to national hero
Dr. Jose Rizal, an apology
I can't follow your heroic path
by your sword - the mighty blade
of pen and ink
you freed our countrymen
you saved the native land
from Spaniard's octupos hand
for over 300 years colony

I can't be like the world famous poets
like Phunter top one from time and beyond
nor to be an icon writer has ever lived

I am a meager creature
who express freely anything
painstaking explosive from my
narrow mind

I am only patching my idle time
cultivating my given passion
settling puzzled emotions
recording self-bio history
from secluded nook to the vast open seas
never expect much getting into publish
nor getting applausing votes
cent prizes in return

I am just bridging the exit passage way
for my instinct humane burdens
crashing the walls and borders
for my intuitive earthly sufferings to flee
and writing for me
seems an extended pleas for my
Divine Creator in lieu
from my religious tongue
misses to say

please hearken this apology
