Go out when the sun sets Watch birds return to nests When fishermen end quests And farmers leave harvests The time everyone rests So now face to the West See and feel where it’s best Comfort is its behest Blue – wall stars of U.S. Blue – sea and sky conquest! Go out when the sun rises Witness birds begin quests When fishermen cast nets And farmers ready chests The hour of work begets So now turn to the East Human faith melts mist Red – motif of China Red – worker’s insignia! Go out when the sun’s highest When shadows are shortest Temperature’s hottest Celestial lights brightest Festive moment its best Yellow – Philippine Sun Yellow – EDSA One! Philippines – now behold People – not blue and cold Culture – not red and bold Our nation’s not that old New age ‘bout to unfold Glaring – yellow – sheer gold! -11/27/2011 (Dumarao) *First Incubus Collection

West is Blue, East is Red, Philippines is Yellow
Go out when the sun sets Watch birds return to nests When fishermen end quests And farmers leave harvests The time everyone rests So now face to the West See and feel where it’s best Comfort is its behest Blue – wall stars of U.S. Blue – sea and sky conquest! Go out when the sun rises Witness birds begin quests When fishermen cast nets And farmers ready chests The hour of work begets So now turn to the East Human faith melts mist Red – motif of China Red – worker’s insignia! Go out when the sun’s highest When shadows are shortest Temperature’s hottest Celestial lights brightest Festive moment its best Yellow – Philippine Sun Yellow – EDSA One! Philippines – now behold People – not blue and cold Culture – not red and bold Our nation’s not that old New age ‘bout to unfold Glaring – yellow – sheer gold! -11/27/2011 (Dumarao) *First Incubus Collection
