https://jameszcarpioinspires.blogspot.com/2015/08/papas-post-state-of-nation-77.html

About J.Z.C.I. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Papa's Post: State Of The Nation '77. All things dark and booty-full. All rackets great and small. All things rank and plunder-full. The politician's made them all! We needed a 're-structuring'. Of our unjust society.". We faced the gravest danger- -. The Republic's impending fall! Was launched to save us all! Then ruled us by decrees. Behind him, martial power. So as to keep the peace! Until his power's spent! He got a Constitution. By voters and non-voters.

Inspires: Papa's Post: Viva La Virgen!

About J.Z.C.I. Friday, June 19, 2015. Papa's Post: Viva La Virgen! There is a mystic tale that's always told. By all the Bicolanos young or old. Tis felt and seen by pilgrim, foe or friend. Why is it so, one cannot comprehend. They swear that when the Lady journeys home. On her pagoda lined with gilt and chrome. No other woman, must be beside her throne. The barge will sink, if she is not alone! Her motley court of cheering, singing men. Has always left me with a wistful yen. Or have you stopped to think?

Inspires: Until I See You

https://jameszcarpioinspires.blogspot.com/2015/07/until-i-see-you.html

About J.Z.C.I. Sunday, July 19, 2015. Until I See You. Captured light in a crimson core. A few fading bursts of laughter. Slow whispers of supplication. Please spare his life, my petition. Flickering against the angel's wings. His destiny in the hands of the Prince. A release of high heaven's sigh. Why could I not say goodbye? In the silence of the room I tremble. The emptiness make me stumble. I called out your name hoping. That maybe if I keep looking. But the unseen can't be undone. July 19, 2015.

About J.Z.C.I. Friday, July 31, 2015. Dear Jesus, we are gathered in Your name. And we of the Camarines Sur Bar proclaim. Anew our commitment to the Rule of Law. Over infrastructures held in awe.

Inspires: Papa's Post: The Summer Fire

About J.Z.C.I. Wednesday, May 6, 2015. Papa's Post: The Summer Fire. Through the quiet of the night and brings. At the furor of this rampaging terror. Hear the echoing crash and crackle. And the hissing, maniacal sparkle. Of its merciless laughter as it swallows. Man-made structures, trees or willows. That haplessly lie in its path. Prey to the frenzied fury of its wrath! Grows the crimsoned shadow. Of this dancing, prancing desperado. Will its smoldering anger not subside? J Antonio M Carpio.

About J.Z.C.I. Saturday, June 20, 2015. Papa's Post: Our Peñafrancia Mardi Gras*. Mother, why must they be so unruly? Why the pagan revelry? Tis a Mardi Gras! With this irreverence, how can one pray? For years, they have been doing it this way- -. A swaying, dancing, drunken parody. Of what a real procession ought to be! Have you forgotten, son, that pagans, too,. Are Christ's own brethren? Beloved, just like you? Wasn't my Peñafrancia chapel built. Nor guile, who dwelt beyond the sound of bells. Saro po...

About J.Z.C.I. Thursday, June 18, 2015. Papa's Post: The Soldier, The Singer and The Wounded*. I- Did My Captain Pass This Way? I seek no other captain; only he. Who holds the highest rank all captains hail- -. Five crimsoned battle stars. He is the tale. Of peerless leadership and gallantry. He led our advance and ordered "Follow me! I am the way! Throughout this treacherous trail. Of moment to moment in-fighting. Our foes bewail. How he, though singlehanded, set us free. And broke their age-old siege.

Inspires: Papa's Post: Beyond Baras, beside the bay

https://jameszcarpioinspires.blogspot.com/2015/04/papas-post-beyond-baras-beside-bay.html

About J.Z.C.I. Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Papa's Post: Beyond Baras, beside the bay. Atop a bamboo bordered hill. Where sun-browned sparrows sung all day. Where wind and rain came cool and clean. Beyond Baras, beside the Bay,. The cogon grass once covered all. And there was naught but nature's peace. Until one dusty day in May. When men, all clad in combat green,. Came up the virgin hill to stay. Where once the cogon covered all. They raised their flag and built their camp. Of nipa huts in neat array.
