Bangsamoro Sword Words
They call me Moro,
not the Moors of Africa,
they insult me more,
and I assumed adore,
but in a good way ...
Colonial mind say;
"A good Moro is a dead Moro",
in a slur way,
and the Compatriot slaves;
says, a Moro-Moro ...
And anyway,
I call myself Moro,
I was a Moro,
I am now a Moro,
a Mawarao for Moro...
The Slang spoke on my name,
they heard me wrong,
they write me wrong,
they make me slur,
and they called me Moron ...
Still I stand for Moro,
a Mawarao for Moro,
an adjective word Brave,
a noun word Warrior,
in a local Lingua origin...
It is a right choice,
to commensurate Moro,
In a bravery Memoir,
a Maranao for Warrior,
a Maranao for Brave...
Moro as they may call,
Is someone who installed,
when someone wished,
in a level upwarded,
or in the top and high...
Moro as they may call,
Is someone who cornered,
to hunt of an animal escapee,
in the no exit zone,
That means a good hunter...
Bangsa is a Nation,
a Malayan word people,
with a royalty tone,
and historic nobility,
a collective unity...
Now my name is Moro,
and I belong to a Royal,
a fierce Warrior of the Orient,
in a society of Moro,
that built me BangsaMoro ...
