When I was in the second year, I had a small notebook (that of which is a remain of my first year) where I collated poems in English and Filipino. If I remember it well, there were only three people who were able to read a few of my poems. Now, I've decided to post a poem or rather two poems from my notebook. I do not what your reaction would be but we shall see...
The Litany of the Alive
We are all a child
Born by the unity of our mothers and fathers
All of us, given a chance to live
To feel the fulfillment and satisfaction of live
As we grow older we go on to problems
That bring us to melancholy
But woebegone we may be
It is a life we have
A life we should be happy
We always complain to the One Above
And persecute Him for all bad things
That has happened to us
But blame comes first
And we never realize His love for us
The time comes we're near dying
"Without satisfaction, my life was" some people say
But was it His fault? Never.
For in everyone's litany
He was always there, until we die
Paano Nga Ba?
Ni pag-ibig ay wala nang puwang
Dito sa puso't isipang lumbay
Di lamang dahil sa minamahal
Kundi dahil na rin sa mga kasawiang palad
Aking kinukubli lagi
Itong sakit sa aking puso
Di malaman ang gagawin
Ni Apollo'y di makilala
=)
