Shared Values and Principles

I'ts screaming at me lately, that shared values and culture are of great importance when you want to align your principles to that other individual. It boils down in to one thing, that one must give up so that an intersection can be created until such time that the point of contact will be in unison for the two equations gel together forming a single line.

However, darkness will never be in unison with light and so is the reverse. Whenever there is light, you cannot achieve darkness, and so on.

I guess, there would be always a common denominator among the values interwoven as two persons or a team paddles into their journey, and that is where-that journey will define the truest of character, where it shall inevitably demonstrate who is worthy till the end.

Submit Your Poems and We'll Pay You!!!

Why are we now accepting poetry submissions?

The art of poetry and expression through verse are slowly deteriorating. We want to light candles and spread the magic of poetry, tapping the minds and souls of individuals (gifted or not with words) with the one common goal - to bring satisfaction to the imagination of the past and this new generation by expressing themselves in writing poetry.

What kind of work is Macdeuz looking for?
We examine all work received and accept that which seems best. Currently, we give priority to poetry submissions. We encourage that you can submit poems written in Tagalog/Filipino or English or Taglish.

Does Macdeuz accept previously published material?
No. We cannot consider anything that has been previously published or accepted for publication, anywhere, in any form. Work that has appeared online is considered to have been previously published and should not be submitted. We do not consider simultaneous submissions.

Does Macdeuz pay money?
Yes. We pay with a minimum  of 100 pesos. You will receive a detailed instruction through email or a telephone call on how you get the credit for the payment of your work. All works submitted and published on this blog will be copyrighted by Macdeus. All rights will be reverted back to the author/submitter upon publication.

How do I submit my work to Macdeuz?

We will handle mano a mano on your submissions via email. Since we have just began in accepting literary works, you will be sending your submissions through mac.deuz@gmail.com 

We shall reply to your submissions within the day for receipt of confirmation. Give us a week to review your material and wait for our reply if your work has been selected or not. 

Once your work is selected, you will receive an Awesomeness Email to signify that your work will be published and along with it is the instruction on how to receive your payment. In contrast, you will receive an Epic Fail Email if your work was denied. We have these two standard communications procedure to be fair and square among our submitters, in order for them not be left hanging without enclosing the loop.

PS: if your work is published, we will link the author's name to its Facebook Profile (that's why it's important that you enlist your facebook page or your facebook url)

Wanderlust in Crossing

Cover and veil me with your utmost kindness

For I wish to be invisible from darkness

My heart implores your mercy

May your righteousness come to me

The flesh is but weak and helpless

That is why I seek thee under duress

Extend thy pity onto me

For I but humble and lowly

Let it pass these temptations fire

Yield me not to the cliff of dire

Be thankful on the small things ... for these are the fleeting moments where your life composes most.
