SAGADNID(sagad na pagkaganid)

Nagngangalit na damdamin sa akin ay umaamin
Sa pagsama sa maling lihim na ngayo’y lumalalim
Kamaliang hindi batid nagdulot ng pighati
Pati sakit na dinanas mula sa lihim dinanas

Hangad noo’y trabaho lamang ngunit anong ipinamalas
Ngalan at pagkatao’y nagamit ng inakalang isang alas
Daming pangako ng pagunlad sa akin ay ilinahad
Bandang huli’y lahat pala ay matutturing na huwad

Ginamit ang pagkakaibigan sa gawaing panglalamang
Daming kawawang nilalang  nagulantang sa paglinlang
Hanggang saan mo gagamitin ang iyong kaalaman
Buti sana kung kabutihan ngunit  sa kasakiman

 Kung lahi mo’y pinagpala, ikaw na nga ang syang the one
Ngunit kaming orninaryo lamang, wag mo namang lalamangan
Lahat ng bagay may hangganan, iyan iyong tatandaan
Hindi  lahat  ng oras di malalaman mga lihim mong ginampanan

SAGADNID!GANID ISA KANG GANID!SAGADNID!HANGGANG BUTO ANG PAGKAGANID!
PAMILYA MO SAGAD BUTO PAGKAGANID!

Kung lahi mo’y pinagpala, ikaw na nga ang syang the one
Ngunit ingat ingat din lamang, baka ika’y magulantang
Nalalabi nyong buhay baka kulungan ang hantungan!
Lahat ng bagay may hangganan, iyan iyong tatandaan
Hindi  lahat  ng oras di malalaman mga lihim mong ginampanan
Ngunit ingat ingat din lamang, baka ika’y magulantang
Lahat  pamilya mong gahaman baka libingan  hantungan!

Persona Non Grata?

We are all humans equally created by God
We live, we discover things on our own
We seek truth, happiness and love
We sin and commit mistakes

Each of us are given opportunities
that are distinctly unique from one another
One's fate is not the same with the other
for God designed it to be like that.

But why do we ostracize a person
who fails to meet our criteria for likelihood?
Why do we make him suffer under the
guise of false love and concern?

Is it because of the delusion of being in control?
Is it because of Messianic delusions?
Is it because of selfish love and possessiveness
that we don't want the other fellow to grow and move on?

Whatever the reasons are
is it right to destroy a fellow
and paint him with terrible colors
to scare the world to make him alone?


Is it right to incarcerate him inside the past
and leave him adrift devoid of everything
that rightfully belongs to him?
Far from everything that he really is?

What are your reasons?
He can't fight back
You hold the precious gems
that are more precious than his life.

He will let you destroy him
He will allow you to close all windows
and doors that could have been opened
and life that he could have been...

Seeds of Destruction

Why the need to destroy when one can create?
is it because of anger on the things that you weren't able to do?
is it because of envy for the reason that you were simply not there?
or was it because you already planted the seeds early on & just waiting for it to grow?

Was that seed planted out of love or out of hate?
Was that seed planted because of fear?
Fear of possession? Fear of the future?
Fear for something that only God knows.

Why the need to step on and trample upon another's reputation?
Why the need to promote one's mistake if you want to fix things?
You could've just simply mentioned it
then probably things would have been better off.

Why do you run and hide when you can just stand still?
Why do you need to fear when things could get better?
Was it because it was already planned for and have been done with
just waiting for the right time, right moment to reap?

Why the need to reap and sow seeds of destruction
when you could easily pull out and go?
 

Rope

I see the line
I grabbed hold of it
I don't know where it leads
I just grasp it with all my might

I felt a sudden movement
A jerking motion trying to lift me up
Then a force pulling me upwards
from the dark hole that I was in

I just continued to grab the line
with my tired, bruised and calloused hands
I don't know where it leads
but I know I need to hold on to the rope

The pull becomes stronger
It eases the tensions on my hands
and the rope is lifting me up
I am being carried over and I could see some light

I hanged on to the rope with all my might
I could now see where it leads
I am seeing the light
It's getting brighter as it pulls me up

The rope had lifted me up
and I could now clearly see the light.
I see the force that is pulling me up
holding the rope amidst the light ---

HOPE!

Winless

Have you been in a situation wherein you can't win no matter what you do?
Have you been in a predicament wherein you've already exhausted all options yet still fail?
Have you been in a reverie wherein you would like to wake up from a bad dream yet can't?
Have you been in a situation which is gradually turning into a condition?

Even to the North, East, West & South, I have no chance of winning
Even I look up, down below, to the left and right, there is no chance of winning
There are only two choices left for me
Step back and run or move forward and fight

I don't know how to run
My feet were just made to move forward
I know that I won't win even if I take my chances
But I have no recourse, I should move swiftly forward

Head on to the situations that troubles me
Head on to the forces not known to me
Head on to the unknown factors that could dissolve me
Winless but I will continue to fight until the end.

Withered

I see no more red strawberries,
no more green mangoes
no more red apples
everything had withered

there are no more healthy leaves
the branches are all dry
roots are all exposed in the air
everything is withered

I see no water anywhere
the sun hid in the dark clouds
the moon is no longer there
everything is pitch black
everything is withered.



Alone

A father without kids
A husband without a wife
A son without his parents
A brother without a brother


A friend without friends
A smiling man full of pain
A wise man but fool to himself
A sincere man who can't find sincerity

Alone
