Absolute Reality

You may be rich, You may be poor
You may have nothing in this world at all
You may be black, you maybe white
You may be a prisoner in your own times
You may be lost. You may be found
You may have been beaten up and knocked to the ground
You may have belief, suffer from deceit
Or you just might be blind. Oh no no

You may affect the truth
You may be seen as false
You may be a king or a vagabond
You may be up, you may be down
You may sit in judgement with the rest of the clowns
You may have love. You may have hate
You may be the president of the United States
But even you, you cant sit and hide
While the world resources die

This is absolute reality reality reality
We are all the cause,
The solution too, reality.

You may be in control
You may be controlled
You may sit down till you do as youre told
You may work hard
You may never work at all
You may be accused but you dont know what for
You may be innocent or partly to blame
You may just be afraid in this power mad age
But theres one thing we all must find
Some peace in our time

This is absolute reality reality reality
If I may speak of truth this is absolute reality
The absolute time, the absolute place
The absolute now for the absolute solution
Its absolute reality now
Now now now

-The Alarm, 1985

Ano to? Ka-etchosan ng New Wave 80's? 

Nanood kasi ang Lyka and her Step-sisters ng Milk. Maliban sa ka-gwapuhan ni James Franco, na-apektuhan ang mga bakla, big time. Di lang sa kagalingan umarte ni Sean Penn pero sa significance ng kwento mismo. Sabi ng Ekra after watching: "I need a drink". At di umi-inom ang Ekra ha. Ganon katindi ang epekto ng pelikula ni Gus.

Ang Mama O, tahimik. Ang Jezebel, di nag joke habang ako nagda-drive pauwi. Ang tugtug.... Absolute Reality. Habang nakikinig, napag-isipan ko... ang kanta ng The Alarm ay tugma sa laban ng mga bading. "It's the Absolute Now for the Absolute Solution". Tinago ko lang yun sa sarili ko. Baka maco-cornyhan ang mga sisters.

Nang dumating na sa bahay. Di ko namalayan na nagbukas na pala ng bote ng champagne ang Mama O. Apat na champagne glasses ready na sa mesa. Distributed to each of us at ang Mama O ay nag-offer ng toast.... "For Harvey Milk!". Napa-toast ang lahat... "Yes, for Harvey" Corny na kung corny pero tunay ang toast ko for Milk that night. And I can see sa mga mata ng mga sisters, seryoso din sila. 

Napatanong ang Ekra: "Tapos na ba ang laban ni Harvey Milk?" 

Tapos na nga ba? The absolute reality is......
