17
17 is a dangerous age to be in a
dangerous country.
At 17, you could just be closing your
family's sari-sari store for the night
and still get preyed on by cops.
At 17, you could just be on your way
home from a gaming tournament and
still be abducted by cops.
At 17, you could just be getting ready
to board your fishing boat and still
be attacked by cops.
When you're 17, your future should
look its brightest. But in a dangerous
country, the future belongs only to
the rich and powerful, not to the 17-
year-olds whose bullet-riddled
bodies are dumped in dark alleys,
abandoned in morgues, or left to
sink in the river.

Shown beside the poem is the pictures of Kian, Joshua and Jemboy, 3 17-yr old boys who were killed by the Philippine National Police.
