LARAWANG KUPAS








Mayamang bukirin, tahimik na karagatan,
Mga ibong malayang nagliliparan,
Mapayapang hampas ng alon sa dalampasigan,
Tao sa gabi’y masayang nagkukwentuhan,
Mga batang naglalaro sa kabilugan ng buwan.

Ang larawang ito ay unting-unting nawawala,
Nasisira at ipinagwawalang bahala.
Ngayon ang nangyayari ay ang kabaliktaran,
Putok dito, putok doon, nasaan ang kapayapaan?





















Araw at gabi’y dumanak ang dugo,
Napuno ng takot ang bawat pulo,
Kasabay ng kalabit ng baril at putok ng bomba,
Ay ang nakabibinging iyak at inosenteng luha.

Kapwa tao’y nagsasakitan,
Kapwa Pilipino’y nagpapatayan,
Kapatid sa kapatid, laman sa laman,
Mga isinakripisyong buhay at sugatang sibilyan.

Para lang sa walang kwentang dahilan,
Yun ay ang kasarinlang pansarili lamang,
Isang katuwirang mali ang pinaninindigan.
Ito ba ang tinatawag na iisang bayan?
Na sa halip ang maghari ang pagmamahal, ay kaguluhan.



Ilang taon pa kaya ang lilipas?
Gaano pa karami ang larawang kukupas?
Kalian makakamit ang katahimikan?
Ang katahimikang papayapa at magbubuklod sa bayan ni Juan.

When Love Comes (Footnote To Youth)

Imahe
                " Youth must triumph, now. Love must triumph, now. Afterwards, it will be life. "      This quote of Jose Villa Garcia's Footnote to Youth caught my attention. It narrates about the story of Dodong who lived with his parents in a small barrio. He worked on their family-owned farm. At the age of 17, he decided to marry the love of his life, Teang and asked permission from his father who also married at a young age. They had six children and life after marriage for them was not easy - they became miserable living with life's hardships and consequences. Teang became shapeless and thin, even she was young. There was endless housework  to be done. She had wished she had marry her other suitor instead of Dodong while Dodong realized the thing he threw away - dreams, wisdom, and a better life. When their eldest, Blas, was turning 18, the same scene repeated. Blas wanted to marry and was asking for hi...

NAGMAMAHAL, JUNIOR Mahal kong Inay, Sabik na akong mabuhay, Ang pasayahin ka kapag ika'y matamlay, At marinig ang mga pangaral ni Itay. Sabik akong masilayan ang mundo, Ang madama ang pagmamahal ninyo, Ang makita kang nakangiti habang ako’y kinakarga, Ang mahalikan at makalaro si Ama. Gusto kong marinig ang kwento ni Lola, Ang halakhak ni Lolo at ang kanyang musika. Gusto kong makalaro ang aking mga pinsan, At  magkaroon ng maraming kaibigan. Balang araw ay papahiran mo ang aking basang likod, At iihipan ni Ama ang sugatan kong tuhod, Sabik na akong mangarap at lumaki, Upang balang araw ako’y inyong maipagmalaki. Ako’y masaya ngayon na ako ay nasa iyong sinapupunan, Di ko na mahintay na ako ay isilang. Hanggang isang araw  narinig ko, Umiiyak ka, ayaw mo raw ako? May gagawin ka, Kayong dalawa ni Ama, Inay, ano itong aking nararamdaman? Masakit, mahapdi, di ko makayanan. Hindi ako makakilos, H...
