Pag-asa ng Tanga



Inulo ang bato

Nabasag ang bungo



Lumukso sa laot

Pating humablot



Sa bangin tumalon

Kalansay umambon



Naglaro sa apoy

Napaso, tumaghoy



Humawak sa kidlat

Nalitson ang balat



‘Yan ang napapala

Ng tulad kong tanga



Dulot ng tadhana

O tangi mang likha



Maibalik pa kaya

Katawang luray na?



Diyos lang ang pag-asa

Ng tangang buhay pa.

Broken Memoirs

I could lie twas Salma
Who made I edit my note
A love note it was a rem1
Reminder with a Coordinate
Coordinates do come home
I pleaded heard turning into ice
Starlet breezing without a care
Re-ignited the flames of drama
Mtanga an African love story..
At the stadium of heroes Gee Tanga
Led you the way in a Month of love
Kaayan did I utter your name the 4thM
Kensoul you make trainers dreams of No
Of Mo love M1 when all are beautiful Wooo
Aromas of well cooked Warriors of colour

#aKFS peace day 
All K's Forces are Special
NGO Na Ngao ya kidavida

Volt and Coat of Arms..
Isn't a Verso genxermais pillar
Not to be found at Kemets Border..
Champe for a cause..
Cast aside were you
TanaTeru Glory of Sion..

#RiuKeyLifeBirthings
An eruption magmation
A living machine eyes all around
Who saw The Lord of Host
Twas You MyKinsman Isaiah son Of Amoz
Who will help us but US
Inspire with a punch held high
As them kids cover up in Bibs
Am a GJDeon Arma Water Bird..

Tanga

Tanga, tawag sa mga taong nagkakamali
Pumili ng iibigin, iyon pang manloloko
Seryosong mangingibig, iniwasan, nilayuan
Kaya ngayon ikaw at pupulutin sa kangkungan

Piniling mga kaibigan ay mga adik at sugarol
Kaya magiging katulad mo na rin sila sa huli
Ayaw sa mga mukhang tanga at bobo sa itsura
Pero ang kalalabasan ay sila pala ang mga moron at estupido

Naniniwala sa mga sinungaling at manloloko
Ayaw makinig sa mga tamang payo at gabay
Ibinotong mga pulitiko ay hindi karapat dapat
Kaya lupain mo ay ipamimigay pati na kalayaan

Sinalihang relihiyon ay huwad at mapanlinlang
Kung kaya't ang Lumikha ay naninibugho
Kaya mga kapatid ko, dapat tayong maging matalino
Huwag tayong tatanga tanga, upang hindi mapahamak

Yuan Oranaga-Taunga Was Here

Don Johnson Yuan-orang

We was in Coles a shopping center,
The wild man from Borneo appeared,
He reared up an started spraying 
Yuan Oranaga-Taunga was here

Followers in their blue-gum robes,
With bark a prickling round their ears,
With dollar coins attached to ear lobes,
Dodged and sidestepped as they savoured
Uric acid and sweet urea,

Holy-man was gesticulating,
Gonads flashing so sincere,
Red hairy waistcoat ever stating,
Yuan a Tanga was the seer,

Deported then he was so,
Dropped by parachute we hear,
Back to the wilds of Borneo,
Thought blinking Wombats bloody *****…

Don

She Did

from the coast of Coco
through the red dust of tanga
i traveled to start over
something happened at Mombo
i saw her
her beauty altered the course of my life
