Self-control is the first lesson of life,
when learning to be presentable.

An alternate lifestyle 
will bring you grief,
but you are no different
in that respect.

All grieve.

you should not have said

There is a scream,
then nobody is there.

The machine shuts down
at the end.
Silence is the last...

Senses overwhelmed, history revealed,
           I step into Plaza Mayor.

Reverberación de tela
Extiende tus ideas
Hasta el desayuno
Y de vuelta
Para quien mira con cuidado
La moneda se transparenta

Un pulso familiar
Tonadas de un botón pentagonal
Continuas espirales de papel
Antes caracoles sobre el mantel
Mañana más máscaras con maíz
A fin de cuentas, la misma raíz

Odiseas en cuchara de paja
Las cortinas cambian
Siempre...

There, above a dark, gaping wound of earth, Página Sagrada shone.
A sheer, white marble face of mountain, it shamed all other quarries,
Yet this was no quarry ... it was a...

Soon after sunrise
The birds welcome a new day
A joyful chorus

Nach Sonnenaufgang
Vögel begrüßen den Tag
In frohem Gesang

Al salida del sol
Aves saludan el día
En coro alegre...

Surigao del Norte,
the province of attraction and tourism,
a light and wealth of the nation before me,
seed of freewill and liberty.

The perfume of the gregarious sea breeze,
the sweet scent of the cheerful environment,
the calmness and never-ending beauty of tourism,
with daring music of my dreams,
will surely amuse...

The last sigh of the Moor, King Boabdil,
As he flees the triumphant Ferdinand,
Echoes round slopes of a mist-shrouded hill.
He looks back for the last time at the land
That he once ruled. `Weep as a woman will,’
His mother jeers behind her jewelled hand,
`For what you would...
