BLOOD SOAKED ROSARY

A miracle it may seemed;
People did it and cheered;
That day when the dictator's regime ended;
And Filipino prayers heard.

After a long years of reigning;
Filipinos sought their voices and guts;
to gain back their freedom;
From the dictator's hand.

Tears showers out on eyes:
As the hoipolloi and nouveau riche unites;
Armed with one goal on their mind;
To call for Freedom!!! Freedom!!!

Everybody keep together;
Students, teachers and soldiers;
Priests, nuns and civil servants;
Joined hand in hand to oust the Hitler out!

Flags raised on streets;
Blacks,yellows and reds;
But nobody put on white;
And attempted to pull down their flag.

Filipino men against each other;
Puppies are on their guns and tanks;
On the side of the dictator!;
While masses praying with rosaries on their hands.

Many of Filipinos cry!!
As the men who wait for independence died;
But millions of them rejoices;
When they finally won the fight..

Yes! This is great!!! Such powerful imagery in this one Romar, well done.
Just one note, rejoices should be rejoice.

Thank you for sharing this one. I look forward to reading more like it!

Aw, I like this. It's historical but really swells up a sense of patriotism, even if it isn't my own country. Again it was very real, but this time, the line "But millions of them rejoices;" really sticks out like a sore thumb. The grammar calls for "But millions of them rejoice;" That's the only one that really takes away from it though, all the rest just make it more human, and I really love it :-)
