(After her week-long absence from the Corona trial, veteran senator-judge Miriam Defensor-Santiago attends the start of Week 2’s impeachment proceedings with an invocation.)
I don’t ask, oh Lord, that life may be a pleasant road for me
But I’m terminally bored, the Corona trial is devoid of cerebral colloquy
I don’t ask that prosecutor Niel Tupas modulate his bedroom voice
But may he stop declaiming and start making sense
Or go to Bermuda Triangle and get lost while scuba-diving
Anyway, Frank Drilon can take care of everything for them
I don’t ask that the defense go easy on the prosecution
But Atty Cuevas should stop copying my hair
I don’t ask that we speak in British Ilonggo
But I agree with Sen Lapid that we must speak in Filipino
So if we want to call the Chief Justice carabao, let’s not say carabao
With an overwhelming preponderance of evidence, say kalabaw
I don’t ask that Sen Enrile remind me that I’m a lady
I may be younger than the Penal Code, but I have sharper memory
If strength shall falter and noses shall bleed
Say the act of contrition and shoot yourselves
But may the presiding officer stop mumbling in Latin
That legal language is as outdated and abstruse as he is
Above all, nobody should make epal during the trial, I pray
After all, I’m the author of Anti-epal Bill. Ako na. Me already. – Rappler.com
