Sa minasunod na aldaw
hanggang sa huring aldaw kan taon
Asahan nindong yaon an Kaniguan
para damayan kamo.

Maguran man, bumagyo, igwang problema sa ido,
naloko ka kan sarong tao o binayaan ka man kan ka-ilusyon mo.

Magrani lang sako—Maimbong na kugos an mareresibe mo.
Magrani lang sako—Madangog sa kun ano man pinagaagihan mo.
Magrani lang sako alagad dae ko ika babasolon,
pagulayan ta kun tano, sain o ano an nangyari.

Yaon ako kun gusto **** barkada,
tugang, ama o ina na madamay saimo,
bako lang ninong ta baka dae ako makaiba.
Papakolon taka kun dae mo nahihiling an sala mo,
pero papaogmahon taka maski dae mo nahihiling an sala mo.
Sabay tang pagulayan gabos na tama mo,
pati si crush na grabe an tama saimo
Magiging maogma ako sa gabos na tamang desisyon mo,
maski sala an paglakaw mo magiging maogma man
giraray ako, ta aram ko makakanuod ka.
Mataong direksyon na pwede **** sundon
kun nawawaran ka na nin pag-asa.

Aram ko Bikolano ka, an Bikolan Oragon,
matagas an ano, an puso saka an buot
dae basta basta minasuko sa laban.

Hanggang yaon kamo o maski mayo na kamo
Dae kamo basta basta mawawara sa puso ko.

Salamat sa pinagagihan ta kang nakaaging taon
alagad salamat man giraray para sa magigin
iribahan, surubahan, kulitan, urulnakan, ngirisihan
istoryahan ta ngunyan na taon. Padagos an Pagkamoot!

Nagpoon ng higopon kan bulan
An sulo kan saldang
Asin nagsiluwasan na man
An mga aninipot
para paluwason
An kagayonan
Asin kamurawayan
Kan Kabanggihan

Nagpoon naman an pagkalúlà ko
Biyong nag-iirikot an payo
Maayos pa man ako kan subago
Tàno bigla nalang naglain an pagmati ko
Sarong lugar man lang an dinumanan ko
Sarong tawo man lang an nakaulay ko
Tàno ngunyan pang banggi
Kun noarin ako mauli

An bangging dayupot
Sa saiyang palibot
Tinawan akong giya
An mga aninipot
Dai gayong madiklom
An sakuyang paglakaw
Maski na nililipot
An hawak kong putpot
Maray nalang talaga
Yaon an mga aninipot
Sakong giya sa paglakaw
Sa bangging malipot
Dai ko maintindihan
Kun tano birigla nalang
Garo ako natalang
Ano daw an nangyari sako?
An pagmati kong pusog
Ngunyan kaipuhan nin kasurog

Ano daw kun ako na-usóg?

Young reader’s lit is a lucrative gig;
Feeds slop to learner like waste to a pig.
We love to get them reading.   Ah . . . but what?
Such open-minded offal as would shut
The hallowed sluice of Wisdom in a blink.
Grand waste of authorship, paper and ink
Noble trees pulped, and presses run—for this?
Distasteful tales and messages that miss
By so far they ought never have been told
Let alone color-printed, bound and sold.
Grotesqueries and morbid cultural rot
Raw ugliness (intentional or not)
Drips forth from this modern infantile lit
For any reasonable end unfit.
Behold P.C. fluffery, ethnic vibes
(Half of it scribed by lost Israelite tribes)
Global fables for our brave new deviants
Multi Kulti nonsense; non-experience:
Mafupe’s New Ungwa, Tano Means Five
Sho-Sho Goes the Wira-Wira.  Such jive . . .
My, such juvenile literary news
Serving to propagate progressive views:
Tia Fulana the Red Agitator
Grand Dad’s a Genderqueer Instigator . . .
Frida: Surrealist Queen of Misfit Art
Smelly Joe’s Super-Duper Stinky ****
Pages that dribble like a sneeze-filled rag
Well-pitched witchery, spelled out by some hag:
Diego the Dinosaur Reads Karl Marx
Trani the Modern Mixed-up Kitten Barks
Volume on volume of frivolous trash
All New York Times-reviewed (for kiddie cash):
Zombies Want Candy, Jimmy Has Three Moms
Snot-fest For Sassy Sue (Special Ed Bombs).
Manga mediocrity, attention-span killers:
Useless mind-wasting library-fillers.
Humpy and Fluffy Hunt for Chocolate Eggs
Barrels of froth (more like the tepid dregs ?)
Squirrel’s Fall Harvest Festival Goes Nuts
(Death by a thousand cutesy bookish cuts):
Useless reams of mindless marketed waste
With effete tribute paid to vilest taste
A globalist ghetto hype-o-rama
Party that starts and ends with Obama;
Covers flush with myriad fake awards
Encouraging our failing culture towards
The darkened depths. And who should bear the blame?
Publishers who mutually stroke for fame!
Such propaganda aimed at your child
After being mocked, ought to be reviled.
To hail such shameful writing as diverse
Actually serves to achieve the reverse;
Revisionists (more like demons than elves)
Have loaded your local library shelves.
The smoldering wick of so-called children’s lit,
Foolish lamp of decadent light, unfit
To illuminate or to froth about
Thus wavers, flickers faintly, and goes out.
Nationalism
will soon be the new normal . . .
so drink more soy milk.

Dae ko aram kun tano,
Pero saimo, gusto ko magtubod.
Ano daw yaon saimo -
Ta ika, gusto ko na intindihon?
Pirang aldaw pa sana man.
Pero an ibahan ta, magian.
Dati, dae mo ako mapasurat
Nin piyesa na dae mamundo.
Pero ngunyan, balewala an takot -
Ngunyan, dae na mapadaog.
Kun ano man an nakaagi mo,
Aakuon ko.
Aakuon an kaogmahan mo.
Aakuon an pagkukulang mo.
Naintindihan ko an paghadit mo,
Ta dawa ako, nakulugan man ako.
Dae ako mataram nin patapos,
Pero gusto ko na maaraman mo,
Sa pirang aldaw tang ibahan, naogma ako.
Sa pirang aldaw tang ibahan, pinaogma mo ako.
Gusto takang bistuhon na hararom,
Pero ipapaubaya ko na iyan sa panahon.
Kun ano man an kaluluwasan,
Iyan, satuya nalang maaaraman.
How to love a stranger

When you are confused  you don't know what is going on around you

Your head is boiling under stress as if you are being boiled in a kettle.

Your choice if hereby destroyed
You itch like a monkey.
You then go on oh, Why is there confusion  in this  world?
You are hereby tormented by other people's thoughts
Oh! Confusion why are you in this world? Oh! Confusion,  Why why.

Tano ogbondu

Inspirational child!!!
