Reminisce of the Golden Age

The dictator and martial reigns

In the innocent Pearl of the Orient

Where change is the main intent

A defense against communal insurgence

Thus, peace and order implements

Makes our economy immense

The public view is optimistic

As erstwhile administration substantially prolific

An equilibrium among pauper and aristocratic

Where Agrarian monopoly breaks

Social discipline commend by the critiques

As mankind become docile and holistic

As Iron Rule conquers, fluctuation transpires

Injustice nor violence acquires by the ruler

Were rape, torture, and unlawful acts makes us suffer

Society wakes up from being a serf

Society inflames, turns into fire

Converge to demolish the entrenched empire

A poem about the reign of Martial Law in the Philippines during the late Marcos Administration.
