I felt an operatic theme to this. Not in just the words, but how the event lead from one to tother. It reminded me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeV2tMQHzBk
Impressive and speculated.

Glen,
Absolutely amazing! I like how you bring in elements of a scholar's life. I also like the references to Einstein and Aristotle. Makes one think.

Wow Glen... you have quite the talent. I love how your writings just draw the reader in. Once I started reading it was like a rap and I couldn't stop. The use of the lines repeating is fantastic and really adds a beat. Satisfaction has reached the boiling point.
"Anoint me the wrong way.
Pay the Price is Right now.
Foul play knows how to counteract.
Facts are no longer Pulp Fiction.
Diction is elementary, my dear Watson.
Thomas Edison is ready for mass communication.
Destination goes where no man has gone before.
Soar like Captain Kirk on Star Trek.
Let me introduce you to Generation X.
Complex is the times now.
How far can I go with this?
Dismiss, sky is the limit.
Exit a door only to open another.
Weather was a climatic transformation.
Alteration to status quo is present.
Your play on words and connections are amazing, the above is just one of many verses I enjoyed.

Epic. The rhyme scheme and rhythm is just in fire, Glen. Truly thrills from Manila lol. The Blarney Stone must kiss you for the gift of gab. :)

Busy with my book, The Onyx ~ Vena Amoris... collection of verses... sent to publisher and will go ahead with print... Just promoting for the release... I wanted to create each AKA FAD in a different scheme... this one I like a lot, the word play came easier after the other 2 writes... As for the Blarney Stone... I have to visit there sometime... in person and engage in the event... Thanks again...

I believe everyone has their own unique voice that every individual can harness. You have set the bar for Pinoys, to write their heart out and speak about their experience as Filipinos in America. I hope one day it can transcend from being Filipino Americans to just Americans...where we cross out any racial boundaries. It's ideals I strive to make a reality, at times. I wish you much success on your literary endeavors.

whew! this is full of wisdom and aphorisms. it's its own language that could flow in no other way. at times cryptic but makes up for in rhythm and rhyme. brings to mind a spoken word piece and perhaps can be taken as a manifest of humankind. i like your penchant for words and letters and be able to create a poem just on those. i also find it to be apocalyptic in content and prose. this is an excellent collection of art. ang galing!

Filipino American Dream Series has been a work in progress over the years. They seem to get easier to create. Now I have a better grasp of the technique of the over-all concept with word play. Do my best to write them down. Until, I can find a person to take my vision to the next level. Again, good to see someone give me a word of encouragement. Salamat Po!
