Best Mong Poems
A mong the ash, the beech, the birch they fall,
U nder the boles of white, beige and gray,
T hickening piles, a golden cabal;
U nvarnished leaves all in disarray.
M audlin, they lack the rouge kissed spark of red
N earby, oaks brown, await the children's tread.

Security, self-esteem, and basic needs;
Everything on Maslow’s scale I seem to nearly have.
Life is good, but do I have it all?
Fulfillment in all things? What am I still in need of?
A final need exists which requires extra
Creativity! Often those who achieve it are seen as heroic.
Their autonomous personalities are quite distinct!
Unlike ordinary souls, they’ve attained the highest plateau.
As masters of their fate, they do not know the word inertia.
Lincoln is a prime example. How many on this earth ever had his great will?
Integrity defined him, as nearly did agapai.
Zest and gratitude for life were his, and he had no need of glitz.
Among humanity, he was like the fairest of the pearls found in the sea.
To be like him, so talented, so good, so brave, so smart
Is something that I can barely fathom. I
Only can admire and strive to be like him, my hero!
Not many in this world ever can achieve the highest plain.

Among an arcade of arching willow,
multiplying in clusters of lilac confetti.
Enchanting petals droop from twin stems,
tantalisingly diffusing an alluring aromatic scent.
Hardy climbing vines, cascading from above,
yielding a timeless grace of floral splendour.
Sparkling in sunlight with leaves of khaki, i
testament of enduring spirit of flora.
Devastated at the news I've heard.
Totally shocked this is absurd
The passing of a Welsh legend
Proud to have served my butty friend.
He started his long career
As a proud Welsh infanteer
He then transferred to the Corps
His knowledge he used thats for sure
I first met taff in the Adriatic
In a place we all called FRY
Former Republic of Yugoslavia
For those that don't know why
Taff was known to do silly things
But one that comes to mind
Being pumped up a scam 12
Blind just leading the blind
He earned a commendation whilst in Afghanistan
As multiple commander he looked after every man
A real genuine gentle man who liked a practical joke
His favourite tipple was vodka and coke
The next verse is for you
Reading from above
I hope it hits a chord baloo
Also for those that you love
Gwneud hyn yn Gymraeg i chi er fy mod i'n teimlo'n las eich calon oedd calon y ddraig Gymreig chwedl a pharagon
Doing this in welsh for you
even though i'm feeling blue
your heart was that of the welsh dragon
a legend and a paragon
I apologize now if my grammar is wrong
Like butty would say you f*****g mong
When you served you were a "RELAY"
Not one if gods chosen what can I say
The black dog was on his shoulder
I know It's a crap place to be
I'm gutted brother soldier
You didn't shout out to me
My condolences to the family
The brotherhood does feel your pain
R.I.P Brother Mark Langley
Until we meet again
So save all of us a seat at the bar.
With Tony, Mac, Ange, to name but a few.
You have left behind your family and friends
We all miss you!!!!
Bong bitty bong bitty bong bitty bay
You are the bottom thought for me every day.
Hong hitty hong hitty hong hitty hay
I am the top dog, and I simply don’t play.
Zong zitty zong zitty zong zitty zay
You’re a spectacular example of dirt within hay
Mong mitty mong mitty mong mitty may
If I know you’re going to be there, I’ll just stay away
Dong ditty dong ditty dong ditty day
Our friends no longer like you. They’ll hold you at bay.
Fong fitty fong fitty fong fitty fay
I won all of them in the divorce, so please go away, Ray.

Among thousands of Indians, he rose,
born in Rameshwaram, a tiny village of the south..
Dreamt of changing the world
using wit and reason -
learning and teaching he spent his life.
Kindness and selflessness he valued,
and wanted to spend his last breath teaching -
loyal to his words, he did,
and is all that Indians think of, now ~
May he rest in peace.

Imagination frees imprisoned souls
to soar among the stars on golden wings
or rest upon the moon as gods of night.
To fill yourselves with grandeur, close your eyes.
You're kings and queens to rule enchanted lands
where dragons, wizards, trolls, and knights abound.
Exploring seven seas from fathoms deep
to Neptune's keep, with walls Tahitian pearl.
A mermaid sings for sailors lonesome tunes.
The forest comes alive where fairies play
or shadow monsters loom in silence. Then...
Imagination brings you safely home.
Scansion:
i-MA-gi-NA-tion FREES im-PRI-soned-SOULS
to SOAR a-MONG the STARS on GOL-den WINGS
or REST up-ON the MOON as GODS of NIGHT.
to FILL your-SELVES with GRAN-duer, CLOSE your EYES.
you're KINGS and QUEENS to RULE en-CHAN-ted LANDS
where DRA-gons, WI-zards, TROLLS, and KNIGHTS a-BOUND.
ex-PLOR-ing SE-ven SEAS from FA-thoms DEEP
to NEP-tune's KEEP, with WALLS, ta-HI-tian PEARL.
a MER-maid SINGS for SAI-lors LONE-some TUNES.
the FOR-est COMES a-LIVE where FAI-ries PLAY
or SHA-dow MON-sters LOOM in SI-lence. THEN...
Im-MA-gi-NA-tion BRINGS you SA-fely HOME.

You are one of the reasons
Why they inflate their quote
If you had seized the seasons
Good men could have had your vote
You are one of the reasons
Why our sweet land has gone sour in waste
Here is one of your multiple treasons
You aid corruption just to suit your taste
You are one of the reasons we wedge weighty wrath
Bombs daily detonate like fickle fireworks far north
You decided to do nothing but shut your mouth
So they took our weary sail south
You are one of the reasons the land is inflicted with rape
Overflowing in abundance yet you mong like a greedy ape
Alas our land is grey and old but not due
And it hurts me to know that I am also you.
Kung sasariwain ko sa 'king isip
Ang nangagdaang mga kapanahunan,
Liban kay Jessang lubhang pinintakasi,
Ikaw'y naroon 'di ko maikukubli!
Sa koliheyo kata'y nagkakilala,
Katoto kita sa 'sang asignatura,
Sa unang tagpo'y 'di ko maikakaila
May paghanga ako sa iyong nadama.
Aywan ko rin ba Nina't 'di ko sadya
Na noon ni Kopidp ako'y napana.
Nasok sa kamunti- muntiang himaymay
Na aking laman katagian mong taglay.
Makailag- ulit sa silid-aralan,
Habang ating guro' nagbab'hagi alam,
Ako'y nag-aastang maysakit tiyan,
Labas- pasok silid ng ikaw'y matunghan!
Minsan, maaga pa sa silang ng araw
Kung ako'y dumatal sa silid- turuan.
Takot mahuli? Oo! Ngunit ang pakay
Liban sa takot, Nais kang masilaya.
"di naglao'y lumipas ang mga araw;
Ikaw'y ipinagdamot, wari ninakaw
Ng oras. Naubos buong limang buwan
Kay bilis, animo kidlat kang naparam.
Sa gayon ka tatamis na alaala,
Ay gayong dita rin sinikap kong bathin.
Dahil sa likod ng sibol nang paghanga,
"di ko nasabing, "Nawa ikaw ay akin!"
Ngayon, tila mga along nagbabalik
Ang mga araw ng tuwa kong nasapit.
"yong mga araw'ng ma kamandag sa huli
Ngayong kaklase kita sa Master's degree.
Ngunit ngayong tana'y multong nagbabalik,
May sinusumpa akong 'di mauulit!
Ang batid ko lang a siyang gaganapin
Ay liligawan kita. Walang pipigil!
Kung sakaling ngayon ikaw'y may pag- ibg,
At ikaw Nina'y sadlak sa pagkatali,
Magka- ao ma'y 'di ako palulupig!
Laya mo ay hihintayin hanggang huli!
Battle Rap With Brenda Chiri
Brenda Chiri don't try me
It's not old and told,
same gun, bullets roll,
pull it hole
strolling rhymes,
quick time,
literally laying these words at pace
while you take out a pen and paper
jotting down like a waiter,
rhymes to cater
couldn't be straighter,
down the line
the same constant whine
from the kind drinking wine,
out the bottle not the glass,
you aint got the throttle or the class
to spas alongside my asss,
I'll set you a task
watch you finish last,
dragging your handbag to bits,
alongside your sandbag tets,
I can do the splits and backflips,
you have splits in your hips,
see me now, I plough like magic,
your comebacks are plastic
made with fake fabric,
with laxative patches
you're like Bush giving a speech,
five letter words beyond your vocal reach,
needing a teacher like a freak,
I fight on the beaches,
I'll fight you and all your beaches,
egging you on,
like Brenda you strong
but your words make me mong,
so until next time for now I say to you so long.
Sa maghapon ikaw ang laman ng isip ko
Sa gabi, sa pagtulog, ikaw pa rin ang laman ng utak ko,
Saan nga ba ako susuling, saan nga ba ako pupunta?
Hindi ko alam bakit nasumpungan kita.
Ang pag-ibig mo na nasa kabilang ibayo
Ang sarap pangarapin, maramdaman ng totoo
Ako ay lasing na sa pag-ibig mo,
Ngunit nais ko pa'ng uminom sa alak ng pagsuyo mo.
Ako ay isang ibon na nasasabik sa pugad mo
Basang-basa na sa ulan ng pagsinta mo
Nais kong sumilong, maramdaman ko ang init mo
Pesteng pag-ibig, bakit mo ako ginanito!?
Ikaw na nakaririnig sa bawat hinaing ko
Isa-isahin mo'ng himayin bawat kataga ng tula ko,
Pagkat hindi lamang sa bawat katha ng bolpen ko
Namnamin mo'ng mabuti bawat himaymay ng puso ko...
Sa panahon nating makita ang isat-isa
Tignan mo'ng mabuti ang aking mga mata,
sa bawat katagang usal ng aking bibig,
Lahat ng salitang namumutawi ay dahil sa iyong pag-ibig.
Nais kong pigilin ang bawat kong tanong
Kaya basahin mo'ng mabuti bawat salita, talata at saknong,
Na ikaw lamang ang bawat bulong
Ng puso kong pumipintig at nagtatanong.
Matikman ko lamang alak ng iyong pagmamahal
Ikukulong ko ang sarili at magpapakabanal,
Na huwag nang tumikim pa sa alak ng iba
At di na malasing sa kandungan nila.
Sa bawat tula na aking nagawa
Laman ng puso ko aking inilathala,
Ako ay maghihintay sa pag-ibig mong dalisay
Dahil nais kong malasing sa pag-ibig mong walang kapantay!
Inner Whispers
~Not Enough Time~
(Sonnet)
They say she had everything to live for
Did she? Perhaps, if she would had time more
But in the end that wasn't just meant to be
She was beautiful, like a rose, alone.
Her mere presence like a star always shone
Yet, like star from heaven one night was gone
She fell. Her beauty 'mong mortals was lost
Still, she walks this earth with gracefulness most
Death! O Death! With his fatal kiss took her 'way
Death had his way when for her came that day
She seemed had it all, but, time she had not
That ,still she had everything to live for
Perhaps she did, wonder if just had more
Time, but that was something she had more not.

.
And along came the lil’ Spring flowers
in there 'mong the springing grass
Distended visions before me
as if I were not there
In the garden
yesss
the flowers did belong
and I at the distance
yesss
where I did fit in
I felt the soft heat
and
that scream
“it’s Spring”
Magdadapit-hapon na't ang kalangita'y nagku-kulimlim,
naghahalo ang madugong pagka-lunod ng araw sa sinag ng
buwang nagbu-bughaw,
ang anino ng aking pag-iisa'y namumula sa pagka-bagot,
isipa'y nagkapunit-punit,
sugat sa katinua'y walang tigil sa pag-durugo,
animo'y nahiwa ng napaka-talas na labaha,
habang ang ulo ko'y nakabaon sa mapapaklang mga palad,
parang patay na dagang nabubulok sa libingan ng kabiguan.
Sa harap ng dalampasigang nangingitim sa hapdi,
damdamin ko'y unti-unting gumuguho,
nadudurog sa lindol ng kalungkutan,
nawasak sa malakas na hampas ng palakol,
at ang mga pirasong duguan ay tumilapon sa karagatan ng kamatayan.
Sa bawat sampal ng hanging malamig,
dala-dala ang ihip ng pagdurusa sa aking pisngi,
ang tanging kanlunga'y lilim ng dambuhalang mahogany,
sa gitna nito'y ang dambana ng ating sagradong tagpuan,
nagbabaga sa tuwing naglalapatan ang mapupusok nating mga halik,
ngunit ngayo'y nag-aapoy dulot ng iyong kataksilan.
Mga ugat ng berdeng lumot sa giwang ng mga adobe'y kumapit
sa tamis ng dati nating mapangahas na pag-iibigan,
hindi alintana na ang daigdig nati'y tinatangay ng rumaragasang
pagnanasa,
mga kamay ko'y nanginginig sa haplos ng mala-sutla mong balat,
marahil ay sin-kinis ng balat ni Anne Curtis,
katawan ko'y dinuduyan ng maka-mundong kaluwalhatian,
ina-anod sa agos ng makulay na musika ng harana sa tuwing dumadapo
ang iyong mainit na mga labi sa aking leeg,
paningi'y tila naglalakad sa kalsadang yari sa malalambot na mga
balahibo ng libong puting kuneho,
at ako'y nasa tuk-tok ng kaligayahang uma-apaw sa ubod ng sarap na tunay na pagmamahal.
Subalit ang aking mga buto't lama'y nangingisay tuwing sumasagi
sa isipan ang mga ala-alang may kamandag ng iyong pan-loloko,
damdami'y nakahandusay sa putik ng naka-lalasong pag-ibig,
para bagang tinusok ng karayom ng pighati,
nakabulagta ang pusong pinaslang ng brutal na dalamhati,
at ang kaluluwa ko'y nakabigti sa bangungot ng pag-durusa.
Habang pinagmamasdan ang mga along panay ang tadyak sa mga bato,
mga luha'y hindi mapipigilan sa pag-tulo,
isa-isang pumapatak sa mga butil ng mga buhanging sin-puti ng mga nitsong nakahilera sa lumang sementeryo,
ang mga bangkay sa loob ng mga ito'y naninilaw na,
tulad ng aking mga matang naninilaw rin sa pait ng matinding pag-hihinagpis.
RAP TUNE:
Kung alaala'y magawi, sa iyo oh Irog,
Ang ngiti sa labi'y, sariwang hamog,
Matamis, malinaw, at isang biyaya,
Ng bukang liwayway, sa damong linga.
Pumapawi sa uhaw nitong yaring puso,
Tanggal ang init ng damdaming paso,
Sapagkat sa tuwinang, ika'y nasa isipan,
Naiibsan tong, mapait na kalungkutan.
-**Kuro
LYRICAL:
Sapat na ang alaala mo sinta
Pumawi sa lungkot ng pagiisa
Dasal bawat araw sana’y bukas ng
Kapiling ka….
Sapat ng isipin ka’t imaginin,
Upang matahimik isip kong napapraning,
Walang sandaling nagmukmok alam kong
Ika’y sa kin……
-***Katapusan ng Kuro
RAP TUNE:
Ang tanging galak, na hihigit lamang,
Gamogamong ako'y, sa iyo madarang,
Mahagkan, mayakap, at aking madama,
Ang init ng iyong, taos pusong kalinga.
Malungkot man ang gabing di ka katabi,
Hanap man ang iyong malalambot na labi,
Hangad man ng balikat ang iyong ulunan,
Ang blankong tingin may lagi sa kawalan...
Lagi mong tatandaan....
...Sa puso't isipan lagi kang nandiyan.
***Ulitin ang Kuro
RAP TUNE:
Nagpapalakas, bigay inspirasyon...
Nagpapatapang, tanggap hamon...
Gabay na liwanag, katahimikan....
Kapayapaan....sa magulong isipan.
Pagmamahal sa iyo ang tanging katotohanan...
Abot hangang LANGIT..Maalab.....Sukdulan!!!
