Pacman and (Momentary) Peace

Posted by spliceanddice on March 16, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Apparently, Manny Pacquiao can not only pound the jaws of his worthy opponents. He, too, can put the Armed Forces of the President to a grinding halt, fanning-off the forces’ smoking artilleries and arteries of weeks, months and years of warmoningering into a momentous silence. His slated clash with Marquez today will write history, yet again. Who would’ve thought that the political cleavage splicing and dicing the right and left, the pros and the antis, the government soldiers and the armed rebels can momentarily be bridged by a boxer-turned-recording-artist short of being a politician, at least in theory though therein lies a daub of practice there, too. If Manny Pacquiao can hold on to dear life battling, pounding skin and bones, toiling sweat and blood for all the rest of his life, who knows how the rest of the warmongerers would react to that. We may have an eternal peace. Then again, we don’t have to sacrifice the heart of a champion before the altar of momentary peace if only we’re more than willing to permanently seal the callous bloodshed somewhere north, somewhere south, and somewhere in between.
