Jose Radin Llorca Garduque Poet Rhyme

380 The 3rd Republic

380.

The 3rd Republic



After centuries of Spanish rule came the Americans

Then the Japanese who terrorized fellow Asians…



And now we're free in the 3rd Republic

From monarchy to tyranny, we turned democratic

Our presidents worked for rehabilitation

Of government & economy from world war devastation

Gone are the foes from outside, but aggression now comes from within

Fights against Separatists & Leftists are not easy to win



…And so the 3rd Republic ended in a fist of iron

We're back to tyranny under Marcos Administration!
