Patay ang haraya’t hulagway ng hapon sa Cybergate:

malamlam ang monitor na sumisigaw sa amin, nagsasabing wala kaming trabahong kayang gawin

binasag ang nakabibinging katahimikan ng mabining hiyawan –
‘Down ang internet! Mabuhay mga kababayan!’

ang kilapsaw ng balintataw ay parang araw na nagsasayaw –
isang maragsang indayog sa saliw ng maharot na tugtog
sa pagkamulat sa katotohanan at maayang hinagap
