"Crush"

Ang aking hinahangaan,
Na tila langit at lupa ang aming pagitan
At kung ihahalintulad sa panahon ngayon kami ay tila ang mahirap at mayaman
Walang boses at makapangyarihan
Kung ihahalintulad naman sa panahon noon
Tila ang kastila at ang katipunan
Si lapu-lapu at magellan
At kung ihahalintulad naman sa bagay na sa buhay ay may kinalaman
Tila kami ang kasinungalingan at katotohanan
Kalungkutan at kasiyahan
Nagmamahal at nasasaktan
Kasamaan at kabutihan
Inosente at makasalanan
Basura at kayamanan
Digmaan at kapayapaan
Tao at kalikasan
Kaaway at kaibigan
Ibang tao at magulang
Kabobohan at katalinuhan
Bida at kalaban
Buhay at kamatayan
Liwanag at kadiliman
Kabundukan at karagatan
Kasaysayan at kinabukasan
Bibliya at Qur'an
Daigdig at kalawakan
Ang araw at ang buwan
Ganyan ka layo ang aming pagitan na tila ang tadhana ay di sang-ayon sa aming pagmamahalan,mahirap man tanggapin ang katotohanan na ako at ang aking hinahangaan ay malabong magkatuluyan😥
She’s Luz-Vi-Minda
Priestess of Asia
When incubus harms
She takes out her charms…

Behold! Jose Rizal
Our hero national
Poet, doctor, researcher
Farmer, herder, school-builder
Fought Spaniards with paper and pen
Luzon’s charm – noblest of our men!

Behold! Lapu-Lapu!
Defender of Cebu
First terror of invaders
Famed Magellan’s death renders
Rammed Spaniards with native bolo
Visayas’ charm – quaintest hero!

Behold! Purmassuri!
Awesome Muslim lady
Wise heroine of Sulu
Foreigners cannot subdue
Disturbed Spaniards so tribesmen won
Mindanao’s charm – enemies thrown!

My Poem No. 63
Allysa Jen May 2021
From our ancestors to what we are now.
We are Filipinos, racism we won't allow,
People have changed but not our culture.
For our culture, we respect and treasure.

Lapu-Lapu is still in our books.
Made history with an arrow he took.
Tried to stop Spain and killed Magellan,
Made a shrine in Cebu, in Mactan.

Many things in the Philippines.
Like a church older than our parents.
An eagle that's crucially endangered,
Or the Rafflesias in Mindanao.

They are the diamonds we treasure.
Those things can give us pleasure.
From seeing other people happy,
We will be full of glee.
Happy National Heritage Month (Philippines)
