FACES ON HIDE

I'm a teenage mom.

You look at me at disgust

Like I'm a trash

You look at me with eyes so cold

You don't know I was abused when I was twelve years old.

I have a huge scars on my face.

You tell me I'm ugly,

And I don't deserve any.

Live with only lonely,

You don't know I was once a soldier who sacrifice for my country.

I'm a gay.

You say I look like a mess,

Treating me like a dumb less.

Deserve to die in flesh

You don't know I did this to please my mom who longs for a princess.

I'm a lesbian.

You consider me nonsense,

Think of me brainless.

Look at me useless,

You don't know I turn out like this for self-defense.

I'm an indigenous man.

You treat me like a dog astray,

Pass by me day by day.

You don't know I came to this place first but I was thrown far away.

I hear your discrimination, I just sigh

I'm a person just like you, though I seem unwise.

But always know that there is more than meets the eye.

Just look deeper and you'll see Faces on hide.

My Brother's Peculiar Chicken (Alejandro R. Roses)

SUMMARY:

The story was about the weird chicken which Kiko and his borther found. They coudn't tell whether it is a hen or a rooster. They keep on arguing to each other because Kiko insist that the chicken is a rooster for they saw it on the field fighting another chicken. But his brother is not convinced for the chicken has no comb or wattles, both disagree to one another.

They began to ask their mother and father, even the people on their village like Tasio and Mr. Cruz. But all of them couldn't tell whether it's a hen or a rooster. And they also thought that it was a "binabae".

So instead, they decide to bring it into the cockpit and make it fight to a rooster. But during the fight there is a turn of events, things gone different for what they have expected. A lovesick expression came into the rooster's eye, instead of fighting, the rooster began to do some love dance but the peculiar chicken suddenly stub its spur into the rooster and the fight is over. The brothers couldn't believe what they had saw.

Kiko thinks he convinced his brother that the chicken is a rooster, but he chicken act something strange. It began to quiver, and egg came out and drop into his brothers hand.

Comment/s: 

I chose this story because it is understandable and funny. Most kids can easily get the humor of the story because of the chosen words.This story talks about the two brothers who were arguing because of a certain chicken. This story talks about the two brothers who were arguing because of a certain chicken. That is why I don't believe that first impression would last. Because it's not true.

The story also gave me a moral lesson in life. We must not judge anything or someone only by its covering or physical appearance. Even though someone is not totally looking good, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is bad. Like meeting people, we don't have to choose the beautiful or the handsome one. The most important is the personality of a person.
