metamorphosis

Janet Napoles, A pathetic rhyming

She ain't a protagonist of a popular teleserye
but a real con artist now engulfed in agony
like a cat from a barrel pussyfooting
ever ready for her daughter's spree shopping

Must have thought  of flying to the earth's periphery
to avoid answering the pork barrel's mystery
although she looks unfazed by media's questioning
but reasons eluded, with words she is grappling

I wonder if she is nagged with self-reproach
in a society where corruption is not just a thought
the taxpayer's money from sweat and blood
ended up in a barrel of pigs in mud

Pinoys never trust your politician as your coach
their decayed morality is feasted by a cockroach
abolish the pork barrel if not the senate's crud
or rue the loss of  liberty we used to trudge
