PEACE PASS

7:54 PM by Chaaaaa

PEACE is the cliché and quintessential joke on dumb beauty pageant contestants who have nothing else to say.

As scholars of the people, for the people, we have much to speak about peace.

We speak of Sherlyn Cadapan and Karen Empeño who were abducted by the military.

We speak of Cris Mendez the victim of hazing, and speak of the wars between the fraternities that practice such a tradition of violence.

We speak of victims of robbery, sexual harassment, and holdups inside this academic institution.

We speak of great divides between different organizations, political parties, and even the faculty inside this university.

We mean much more than a stupid beauty queen answer.

We can speak of much more. We must speak of peace much more.

No matter how trivial peace may seem.

Together let us stand, Undivided –
