dedicated to the 3 International Commission on the Red Cross (ICRC) br volunteers. Mary Jean Lacaba, a Filipina, the Italian and the Swiss br br br Switch on TV br Nothing is fresh br Rampant cruelty br News channel hits br br 3 ICRC volunteers br with one Filipina, my landlord's sis br From Toril Davao Philippines hails br Captived by infamous kidnappers br br Arousing repeated horror br Beheading attempt if demand fails br for greedy ransom affairs br Easy millions, freed or spoil br br Philippine Marines guns pointing br Far-flung Jolo, Sulu is threatening br Same innocent victims br Civilians, young boys and girls running br Safety first than school and pen br br Red Cross volunteers are neutralists br Traited not as inhumaned by notorious bandits br An act provoking Abu Sayaff themselves br As cruel international terrorists br br How do we escape br from this routine evil threat? br How do we preserve br Mindanao's tag - land of promise? br br Time now to re-evaluate br the grass root of all conflicts br Poverty? Dogmas? Culture? br Ideology? Political? or Greedy interest? br br Wait not for br another war and victims br Enough that my landlord's sister br is kidnapped by them br br (may this voluntary poem can humanize the war against terror) br br written a week before Mary Jean 'nene' Lacaba was released unharmed by the bandits leaving the two kidnapped foreigners and still promoting a 'no ransom policy' by the government and the Red Cross.
