This fuckin guy Bao Phi, yo.

***********
No Question by Bao Phi (2011)

to the white girl who saw a bunch of us little Southeast Asian kids watch her brother play a video game in the Asian grocery and said “these gooks are surrounding us.” 

Did we douse you in chemicals that twisted your future generations
to flesh pretzels
stripmine your resources
then fusion fuck your family dinner

Did we light garlands of fire
onto your sacred mountains,
push your people to tiny fingers of dry land
explore what was already found
then name your beautiful landmarks
after ourselves

Did we push your people into jobs
where toxic fumes turned your lungs to scorched wings
your nails breaking on our skin
to paint ours pretty

Did we spin your history to smoke
Hook you on snorting the ashes

Did we convince the entire world your men
have cocks small as minnows
scar barbed wire borders using plastic surgery
break your legs to
make you taller

Did we gentrify your love life

Did we convince your people
that we taught them the word love
and what it means to be free

Did we redefine torture
for our own benefit

Did we measure ourselves in fathoms
then force you to swim in us
until you drown?

these gooks are surrounding us

if only
that were true.

Best Friends

In life, you experience love. Love that is pure and innocent. Love that isn’t corrupted by sexual desires or jealousy, but love that last’s forever. Through thick and thin, there will always be one person to stand by your side; your best friend. 

A best friend is someone who’s stands ready to pick you up even before you’ve fallen down. Someone who enjoys putting up with the random shit you do and even joins in. A best friend is someone who you can argue with and never have to say sorry to. They’re someone that knows you inside and out and know what kind of intentions you have. A best friend is your second you. Someone who is an extra pair of eyes and ears to always watch and have your back. A best friend is going to be there to tell you when you’re acting up; when you’re not being you and when you’re just plain being stupid. But most of all, a best friend is gonna be that person that pushes you to be you; that pushes you to love you, and that will always be by your side if ever you get side tracked. That person to lean on, that’s a best friend.

HIDING THE POOR, PHILIPPINE STYLE. IF YOU CAN’T BEAT POVERTY, JUST HIDE IT, SAYS THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT. “Residents walk past a wall covered with a tarpaulin poster of the ongoing 45th Annual Board of Governors meeting of the Asian Development Bank at suburban Pasay city south of Manila, Philippines, Thursday May 3, 2012. Delegates attending the international conference of the ADB in the Philippines capital may not see what they came to discuss: abject poverty. The makeshift, temporary wall on both sides of the bridge from the airport to downtown Manila, hides a sprawling slum along a garbage-strewn creek in the background.” (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)
