Matiyaga Kong Hihintayin

Matiyaga kong hihintayin 
Ang magandang Bayang Banal; 
Alinlanga'y aalisin, 
Susundin Ka, Amang mahal.

Titiisin ko ang hirap, 
Habang narito sa mundo; 
Sa isip ay isasangkap 
Ang lakas buhat kay Cristo. 

Kailangan ko ang tatag 
Ng loob upang madaig 
Ang hilahil at bagabag 
Pati dusa sa daigdig. 

Pipilitin kong matapos 
Ang takbuhin ko, O Ama; 
Sasambahin Ka nang taos 
Sa puso at kaluluwa. 

Hindi ako matatakot 
Sa balisa't suliranin; 
Mapapawi na ang lungkot, 
Matiyaga kong hihintayin.

Ang Pag-Ibig Na Wagas

Ang pag-ibig na wagas
ay walang pagdududa;
alinlanga’y di bakas
sa gabi ma’t umaga.

Sa gitna ng delubyo
ay totoong matibay;
tapat hanggang sa dulo,
hindi humihiwalay.

Sa lahat ng sandali
ay malinis ang hangad;
hindi mapagkunwari,
at lalong hindi huwad.

Sa lahat ng gawain
ay may basbas ng Diyos;
kahit may suliranin,
pagmamahal ay taos.

Mas higit kaysa ginto
sapagkat walang wakas;
kayamanan ng puso
ang pag-ibig na wagas.

Premium MemberTaos Ahead, Next Three Exits

Bury my heart in trivia. 
Keep my mind stuck in minutia.
The dam internet's a sham, 
designed to drive man, 
off the road into distraction. 

Keep me from knowing what is right, 
directed by detours to spite,
the dam internet's a scam
designed to drive man, 
off the road into distraction. 

Instant knowledge gains attention, 
knowledge without wit or wisdom.
Human touch replaced by a mouse, 
human feelings contained, in house.
conversation within glass fibers.
Real replaced by sad virtuals. 

We keep the mass hunger sated. 
We keep thinking minds muted. 
Bread and circus work to perfection, 
novelties make roadkill of traditions. 
Real streets contain violence, racism, and malice, 
while we genocidists, well protected
and free are now off on a spree
down cyber route six sixty-six.

Is this simply a lone luddite's lament, 
or someone's conscious coherent comment?
I no longer know, reduced as I am, 
to hitchhiking through mist on a mantra.
The dam internet's a sham, 
designed to drive man
off the road into distraction.

Sa Gitna Ng Paghanga

Siguro ikaw ay pangarap na lamang
Nitong dukhang sa’yo’y lubhang nahihibang.
Pangarap na kawangis ng bahaghari
Makulay subalit ‘di ko pag- aari.

Siguro ito ang mainam isipin!
Ne sa bangungot, ang ikaw ay ariin,
Ay himala na sigurong matuturing;
Maging ang ako’y taos- pusong mahalin!

Kasi higit sa’yong sabing, “’Di ma’ari!”.
Ang Diyos na lubhang maluwalhati,
Sa guni- guni ko ay Siyang nagsabi,
“Tao, ‘di Ko matutulot iyong mithi!” .

Kung kaya, sa gitna niring talinghaga,
Sabihin na bahag yaring abang buntot;
Ituring ‘di pantas sa gan’tong batalya
At, sa huli, alipin sa hiwaga ng Diyos!

Hihintayin

Tinataningan nang kumunoy ng oras
Sinusubok kung hanggang saan ang antas, 
Minsa'y nahahapo ang katawang lupa
Subalit puso'y pigil…ayaw madapa.


Denidelubyo sa paghihintay sa'yo, 
Nasasaksak minsan sa may gawing puso
Amin kong dinar'ma sampo nito mahal, 
'Di na bali pagkat pag-ibig ay bukal.

Ito'y walang saklaw ng pagmamalaki; 
‘Wag ituring na pansar'ling pagtatangi
Winiwika lang itong naging hantungan
Sa pag-irog ko na pakikipaglaban.


Mahal lahat na yata'y halos dinaig, 
Muntik nang binigay sa'yo ang daigdig, 
Sana'y sawing bugna'y ‘di sa'kin mauwi
At ang pag-iro'y tuluyang manatili.

Giliw taos-puso't sadya kitang nais, 
Kailangan ka't ‘di 'to pagmamalabis.
Karangalan ko'ng kita'y hihintayin
Hanggang sa huling buhay nitong damdamin.

Premium MemberCrazy Al

Oh c !
What am I doing here?

I can't see the bottom!
I'm not ready!

It didn't look this bad from the bottom!
The moguls are as tall as me!

Black diamonds are some kind of watermelon...
Al's run...Taos, NM

Did he die here?
Am I going to die here?

At the bottom smiling...
Let's go again!!!!!!!
