I haven't the faintest idea what to say about this whole collection except it punched me in the face. Was it good? Not sure. Was it bad? I don't know.

A dark and edgy collection of poems written by Lourd De Veyra that paints a picture of the Philippines today: war on drugs, poverty, injustice, bad politics, crime and a lot more. It's like seeing the country through his words. He also sprinkled the book with his sharp and no holds barred opinion through poetry. The book is also adorned with drawings of Paul Eric Roca that perfectly captures the ominous and demonic theming of the book. The demonic theme of the book is let's say deep for me because it metaphors the Philippines as a living hell with all the things that are happening (okay, I'm getting too political hahaha). This book is very timely and its worth to give a shot in reading.
