78 He's the One

78.

He's the One



He's the One

Whose genuine kindness I ignored

And even enmity I labored

Publicly I abhorred



He's the One

Whose victory I tried to bar

When from his people I departed afar

On his opponent's nest – my childhood mirth – I gave him scar



He's the One

Whose people should have led me

To the true path of victory

If ever I wasn't poisoned by own false fantasy



He's the One

Whose light revealed my darkness

On times of my great doubt and distress

Despite that, his people treated me with kindness



He's the One

Whose followers' door opened

When to them I was tossed once again

Although for once they've been threatened



He's the One

Whose true benevolence

Slowly washes my discontent and impatience

As my hostile drive was laid into abstinence



He's the One

Whose kindness I'm still confused

Because my guilty heart tells I'm accused

Since his generosity once I abused



He's the One

Whose people tend me again

Who might be devising plots to cause me pain

For their master I once put in disdain



He's the One

Whose nation may be hating me

Because I once rebelled against thee

Now I'm back, they doubt my sincerity



He's the One

Who to our mass media was ever a hero

That's common sense for I cannot find him a flaw

And also his lineage tells us so



He's the One

Who can end my existence

For still I'm suspected with malevolence

What great karma brought by my negligence!?



After all, He's still the One

Whom I believe will be my authentic hero

If he and his people can endure me for more years to go

Since now I consider myself a fan of Pres. Noynoy Aquino…



The One whose straight path I don't wanna forgo!
