Filipino Me Not

I don’t need to recognize you I am conquered not I surrendered never to you I fought till death I cling to live for death I enjoy dying to live I have nothing to owe you I am right now to abandon you I have my rights to do it I am not your enemy I am your neighbour I am not your people I can live alone in my home I can never forget you I know we are identical but not the same So leave my home peacefully Go...! I am not a Filipino who fought Spanish, American and Japanese to death! I am Tausug! I repeat... Yo no soy un filipino que luchó con el español de América, y el japonés hasta la muerte! Estoy Tausug! A message from me The TAUSUG! WM-KL 3:13PM
