A Bikol Poem Written by Melton Balicano
Malayug an wara pisi na gulandrina
Para hulugan kita pampadulom na liwanag.
Sa mga gab-i na ini masiyak an pugol na ina,
mahagad tawad an pabaya na ama,
nan maluhod an mahambog na batit
sa malangsahon na duta.
Sa mga gab-i na ini,
buang na an diyos.
(A Translation of an Excerpt from Melton Balicano's Poem, Translated by Glenn L. Sentes)
A stringless kite will soar
to cast upon us darkness of light
In these nights an oppressed mother will scream,
A father remiss will seek pardon,
And the arrogant child will kneel on putrid earth.
In these nights,
god has gone insane.
