He’s the One Whose genuine kindness I ignored And even enmity I labored Publicly I abhorred
He’s the One Whose victory I tried to bar When from his people I departed afar On his opponent’s nest – my childhood mirth – I gave him scar
He’s the One Whose people should have led me To the true path of victory If ever I wasn’t poisoned by own false fantasy
He’s the One Whose light revealed my darkness On times of my great doubt and distress Despite that, his people treated me with kindness
He’s the One Whose followers’ door opened When to them I was tossed once again Although for once they’ve been threatened
He’s the One Whose true benevolence Slowly washes my discontent and impatience As my hostile drive was laid into abstinence
He’s the One Whose kindness I’m still confused Because my guilty heart tells I’m accused Since his generosity once I abused
He’s the One Whose people tend me again Who might be devising plots to cause me pain For their master I once put in disdain
He’s the One Whose nation may be hating me Because I once rebelled against thee Now I’m back, they doubt my sincerity
He’s the One Who to our mass media was ever a hero That’s common sense for I cannot find him a flaw And also his lineage tells us so
He’s the One Who can end my existence For still I’m suspected with malevolence What great karma brought by my negligence!?
After all, He’s still the One Whom I believe will be my authentic hero If he and his people can endure me for more years to go Since now I consider myself a fan of Pres. Noynoy Aquino…
The One whose straight path I don’t wanna forgo!
