Kasarinlan

Mga bibig na minsa'y nakatikom
Hindi dahil sa ayaw umanas
kundi dahil sa takot na maluom
sa rehas na ang batas ay dahas

Itong bayan ay minsang sinakop ng karimlan
Mga bayani'y lumaban para sa kasarinlan
Gamit ang itak o pluma't papel man
Upang mapalaya ating inang bayan

Ngayon sa ating pagtarhasa sa kalayaan
Wag sanang itikom muli ang bibig sa katotohanan
Kung ang kasarinlang minsa'y ipinaglaban
ay gugupuin ng mga hayok sa kapangyarihan

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to PS, Kabayan. Meanwhile, I welcome you with God's love, expressed in John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
