The Great Jubilation

I saw thy heavenly signs,
and heard the angelic choir
O most holy child of God,
set foot on thy holy ground

Lord of heaven and earth,
gave a gift through birth
The word of the Father,
is now flesh from a mother

O thy savior reigns forever,
and the earth rejoice altogether
'Tis the time to remember,
that the chains are shattered

Land most holy and sacred,
is now free from all hatred
Thy child of a  virgin mother,
will give all thy splendors

Glory to thy Father in heaven,
his power reigns forever
Let there be happiness together,
with the child who holds the power  

New Year: A Blessed Celebration

In this year we see,
all the blessing we received
For the coming year,
we see more fortune to come

We pray for a good living,
and a nice ending
for this year that changed,
our lives and our hearts inside

God almighty; we thank you,
for the things you've done
May you bless us forever,
a very happy New Year

The Dying Sentiments

If the sun sets today,
I'll never see the month of  May
All those themes of colors,
will turn gray in the hours

If the star didn't shine tonight,
I'll never see the blinding light
With all the wonderful things,
the world collapsed as I sink

If this heart fails this noon,
I will be leaving very soon
I'll bring all the memories,
and all of the agonies

Will Someone Remember Me?

I've crossed a lot of desserts,
and swam the deepest sea
But a question came up,
will someone remember me?

I've battled against the raging torrent,
and sailed a thousand ships
But that question came up,
will someone remember me?

I sacrificed everything I've got,
and looked at the time sand
Waiting for the final hour,
to take me into the waters

But all I've done seems nothing,
when no one knows I'm existing
So that question came up,
will someone remember me?

The Anticipated Words

If dying would make you talk,
I'll hold a knife and be ready
I'll endure the bleeding,
just to hear your skimming

If suffering would make you speak,
I'll crown myself with thorns and be ready
I'll endure the longing pain,
just to make you steady

If silence would make you happy,
I'll cut my tongue and be ready
I'll endure everything,
just to hear you speaking

The Companion

In times I'm alone,
your here to comfort me
Even in the cold nights,
and in the frightful sea

You stand behind me,
waiting for my call
When the going gets tough,
and the fears reach it's toll

You sit beside me,
and listen to the stories
You've change this life,
and there's no more worries

In times I'm sad,
your here to make me happy
Even in the cold dawn,
and in a world that is sunny

I'll Make The Journey Alone

I'll make the journey alone,

without anyone to hold on

I'll see my battered soul,

die until it reach its toll

I'll see that light alone,

without anybody to lean on

I'll see my torn heart,

go into the deepest part

I'll seek a paradise alone,

without anyone to call on

I'll see my tired hands,

reach for the running sands

I'll leave this world alone,

without anybody to mourn

I'll leave this world with a song,

of a loner who died alone

The Chance I've Wasted

That night I had the chance,
to see if I can have that dance
An hour away from fears,
a minute away from tears

But still I can't follow,
this heart full of sorrow
That moment fades away,
and brought me to all dismay

The chance that I've wasted,
was a time to be tested
If not only for this coward,
I've could have moved forward

I've

I've traveled the seven seas,

just to see if you are here

To look beyond your corner,

to walk into your border

I've walked a thousand miles,

just to see how you smile

If I never saw you again,

it will make the biggest sadness

I've said a lot of words,

and wrote a lot of songs

Looking on as I flawed,

on things I never solved

I've talked to many,

and the wise were plenty

If I only have your attention,

then I'll have a better conclusion

We'll Catch Some Floating Hearts

Your heart will wait,

while I play the same

I'm winning my game,

you're losing your gain

Why won't you quit,

and face the same meet

Where you and I belong,

and others go along

While I'm convincing you,

you'll ignore me soon

But deep inside you suffer,

when he can't go near you

So let us go forth,

to that sacred event

Where loners like us,

set a brand new net

We'll catch some floating hearts,

and bring them at the start

Maybe I'll catch yours,

and you'll catch mine

The Greatest Gift

The greatest gift,

is not in a box

Nor a toy of youth,

inside the locks

The greatest gift,

is not a bead of pearl

Nor a diamond ring,

in a waiting finger

The greatest gift,

is in your heart

This Christmas,

I want your love

You Gave Me Heartaches For Christmas

I can't feel the joy,

not a very jolly toy

All I feel the breeze,

there's no peace

I can see the lights,

but you're not in sight

All I hear is music,

there's no topic

I can smell the fresh air,

but there's no pair,

I can have mistletoe,

but there's no need to bother

You gave me heartaches for December,

a month I can truly remember

You gave me heartaches for Christmas,

a season I can truly remember

Kailan Ba?

Kailan ka ba matututo

na ang buhay ay puno ng sugo?

Na sya'ng sasagip sayo,

sa anumang peligro

Kailan ka ba magmumulat,

ng mga mata mong walang luha?

Na sya'ng magliligtas sayo,

sa lahat ng delubyo

Kailan ka ba iibig,

sa taong nanguusig?

Na sya'ng nandito sayo,

at wala sa ibayo

Kailan ka ba makakadama,

ng tunay na pagmamahal?

Na sya'ng aagapay sayo,

sa lahat ng problema mo

Kailan nga ba mangyayari,

ang lahat ng aking nasabi?

Kung ako'y mawala na,

sana masagot mo pa

I'll Face The Music

I'll face the music,
even if this is tragic
I'll face the symphony,
and prove my entity

I'll face the music,
and all its magic
I'll face the melody,
without the worry

I'll face the music,
and all its secrets,
I'll face the hymn,
that brought me tears

I'll face the music,
and be contented,
I'll face the rhythm,
with all the sentiments

My Innermost Sorrow

I say the common words,

living in a simple world

Breath the same fresh air,

see the sun as it glare

But when you came in,

I feel love that you bring

Hoping to kindle something,

a memory I keep repeating

The time came to say,

goodbye and in array

I hope you feel the aches,

while watching me as I break

That's Who I Am

Make a way out,

go out and shout

Seek for help,

the pain that you felt

Ask a question,

make no exception

Bind with your mind,

never go out and hide

Look for the one,

not for the none

As long as you can,

find a better sand

Pray from the heart,

never break apart

If you seek a refuge,

That's who I am

The 90th Entry

I dedicate this entry to my classmates at Arellano University and to the Fourth Hour that I have been mentioning for 5 consecutive months.May she see true love and compassion.

The Journey is just at it's beginning, join me as embark my bitter-sweet college life:)

Look At Me

Look at me today,

and you'll see me gray

At the bay I sat down,

not a smile but a frown

Look at me tomorrow,

and you'll see me in sorrow

In my mind a shout,

"Is there any doubt?"

Look at me this instance,

you'll see me in a distance

I'll be sitting here all day,

to see you; I would pray

Look at me later,

and you'll see me as a hater

In my mind I shout,

"When will you come around?"

'Till We Hear The Sound of Life

O night most holy,
freed the world from worry
In the highest heaven I hear,

the celestial choir in hymn

As the savior made entry,

to the land most holy

The sky opened for glory,

making the world in harmony

Lord of the imperfect world,

fill our hearts with your word

As you fulfill thy greatest mission,

we await your glorious vision

We hope to see the manger,

and open the heavenly chamber

'Till we hear the sound of life,

we will follow as you preside

When Two Worlds Collide

When two worlds collide,
different spirits unite
The collision of worlds,
gives the meaning to the words

When two worlds collide,
aspirations go to flight
The unity of worlds,
gives peace as it turns

The collision of these two,
marks the beginning of the new
The collision of this two,
marks the ending of the due

December Bliss

I feel that cold wind again,

the happiness that it sends

The weather getting chilly,

the air is getting windy

Lights blink from here to there,

children choirs are already flared

The streets are filled with people,

like the sea floor in ripples

Once again hope is in the air,

the sight of all the glare

Once we fell it's wrath,

the magic is within us

Your Wingless Angel

I walk besides you,

as you go with your life

I stand in front of you,

when you need to fight

You tell me secrets; I wont tell,

I give kisses and love spells

I give you a hug; you give smiles,

You give me songs and butterflies

I'll be here laughing,

at jokes you come up with

I'll be there smiling,

at the clouds you been hiding

I'm your wingless angel; ready to protect,

to make you happy is my mission effect

You're my mortal master; I'll be your hero,

to be with you is my greatest adventure

All Eyes On Me

When I make a move,

their eyes looks at me

Waiting for that single flaw,

that makes a scene of awe

They make me look good,

they make me look bad

As long as they are atop of me,

I can't make any demands

When I make a gesture,

they wink to surprise me

Waiting for that simple mistake,

that will determine my fate

They make me laugh,

they make me cry

As long as I'm living,

all eyes are on me

As It Seems

Intimate as it seems,

you shall never agree

You blocked every passage,

I can't get any message

Lovely as it seems,

you shall never see

I gave you my heart,

then you broke me apart

Happy as it seems,

you shall never be

We were good friends then,

when love entered it soon ends

The Cherub

In times you seek refuge,

you'll see standing in front of you

You'll never see my face,

but you'll feel my presence

The feeling of eternity fills you,

and I'll make a better view

You're worries will end,

I'll straighten out the bends

You're protected under thy wings,

there's no need to shed another tear

I'll bring you to a better place,

where you can see the holy face

I'll be standing here if you need me,

and I'm ready to feel your agony

As long as you're alone and wondering,

my arms are ready for your safety

My Explanation on Certain Things About The Title and The Entries

The start of the school year was a real circus for some students(That includes me). On the first day of college I felt mixed emotions. New faces means new friends and enemies, and by that I was in need of a companion. Luckily for me I found a few trust worthy people. They gave their first impression and I was really looking forward to meet them.

During the prelims period, I felt love but it was so immature that I became more concentrated on my studies. I said to myself that going into a relationship in this early could affect my performance in the long run. And because of that, I didn't executed my plans to court that girl (Even though I made a lot of impressions just to make her see and feel what I feel for her which is evident from my last blog entries for the month of August to November). Many people asked me about the title of this blog site: The Journey of a Young Educator. They said that the title was not synonymous to the entries that I post to the site. In addition to that, they told me to change the title to a much more complex one than to stick with the incumbent title( They commented on the title because all of the entries was all about love, rejection, anguish, fear, and death. The Title says about the journey of an educator but all the entries couldn't describe a typical student-teacher's life). In response, I told them that I'm just sharing my experiences and outlooks in my college life and I don't mean that all the education students are experiencing the same fate as mine. Thus, I'm still going to use the title

Many people asked: "why are you doing poems instead of a straight forward entry about what you feel?" I said to them that in poems I can hide certain facts that are not meant for all the readers of the blog. For example, the poem "None shall be spoken" can be interpreted to other people, but I've been able to put the name of the person I want to court. If you're asking where did I put the name, examine the 3rd and 4th stanza of the poem. look at the first letters of each line. It will reveal the name that I've been mentioning in that poem

In the future I will create another entry to explain certain things in this blog. Hope everyone could support me while I venture the life of an educator

(What will be the things that we should do when we come to our senior years?)

Close Your Eyes

When things seems to be bad,
close your eyes; don't be sad
If things got out of hand,
think of good times in the past

When pain seems to worst,
close your eyes; it won't burst
These things will pass and fade,
in this world of charades

The world seems unfair,
but you'll sit on a better chair
Think that you are not alone,
they'll watch even their gone

Close your eyes for awhile,
and see peaceful darkness arise
While you close the window of the soul,
everything will go with the flow

The Ending Light

Once in a glorious night,
I saw that shining light
It gave me a beautiful sight,
as I go gentle into the night

The rays hits my face,
a signal to end my race
For that light signify,
the end of this life

But before I went up,
I looked back and relapsed
Will I continue to go,
when I left a lot of problems?

For Years to Come

You wait for years to come,
fighting for the same old sun
You're like a lamb who seeks,
a shepherd to be loved

For this years opportunities arise,
but you rather stay behind
You kept your promise in the past,
that everyone will come at last

You've said a dozen words of moving on,
but still you walk on the same door
Till' you achieve your total prize,
you'll see nothing but skies

Due to this journey you take,
you wasted a lot of stakes
You didn't even bother to look,
for new and alternative route

What if you reached that place,
but you're rejected in pace
All you're sacrifice was for nothing,
then you'll realize something

That many good people came around you,
and you didn't bother to look
Then had an epiphany,
that you'll be lonely and in misery

The Last Time I Saw Your Face

The last time I saw you,
there was a peaceful sight
The mourning ended at last,
when I glimpsed at the past

The last time I saw you,
there was a perfect view
The restlessness ended at last,
when I completed the task

The last time I saw your face,
there was a meaningful goodbye
There was a tear of sadness,
when I left this world of madness

The Missing Boy

One day I'll be going,
to a place of stability
You'll search me everywhere,
but you'll never see me

You'll call out my name,
but no one will answer
You'll go to my sanctuaries,
but you'll see no entity

Then begin to wonder,
if I'm still around
You'll ask my closest friends,
but they don't even have a clue

You'll ask yourself,
where did that boy go?
Is he gone to another place?
Or just hiding near me?

But the truth is I'm watching you,
from the time you wake up ti'll night
I 'll guard you even though I'm gone,
and I'll be your eternal guardian

I Write Everything In The Sand

I write everything in the sand,
so no one could see all my demands
I would rather keep it to myself,
than let them know the sorrows inside

I write everything in sand,
so no one could see all my fears
I would rather keep it to myself,
than let them know the aches inside

I write everything in sand,
so no one could comfort the pains
I would rather keep it to myself,
than let them know my secrets

Because as the wind blows,
the sand goes along
bringing all my worries to different place
and giving my whole world the same old face

Till' Death Comes Around

The things we consider,
are temporary procedures
All the days that we spend,
will fade as it ends

For the soulless entity,
everything's a necessity
The bloodless bleeding ends,
with all the amends

The sadness that we felt,
will be over as we tell
The stories of our lives,
which we cherish as we ride

Till' death comes around,
we will hear the same sound
The lives that we spent today,
is about to end someday

Restlessness

In the middle the night,
a swirling question arise
A decision I can't answer,
fills my head and it conquers

I tried to run away,
but the spirit kept me gray
It made me tired of this situation,
I can't get any conclusion

It affects my mind and heart,
and slowly it breaks me apart
I can't have an answer from above,
is it hate or is it love?

Linked

We live above the same earth,
and breath the same air
We walk the same grounds,
and felt the feeling of despair

We drink the same waters,
and seek the same persons
We take the same journey,
and feel the same agony

Then why is it impossible,
for us to get along?
Is there a factor to be considered,
a law to be frequently uttered

Why does faith keep us apart,
when the comparison is quite enough?
Will you be happy alone,
when no one wants to be with you anymore?

Waiting Game

Every now and then we play,
a game that takes a lot of stakes
We tend to play alone,
and forgets that life goes along

If we lose this game,
we suffer tremendous pain
If we win this game,
our happiness go off the lane

But this game takes time,
and you'll see yourself at the prime
Are you willing to play,
the infamous waiting game?

Stay A Little Bit Longer

I see myself standing,
in thin air and hoping
I saw an opportunity arise,
with glorious reward and prize

My conscience tells me,
to stay a little bit longer
He tells me to wait a little more,
to see the outcome and the norm

If things gets more interesting,
then I have a reason to stay
All I ask is your love,
So I can stay a little bit longer

I see you slowly emerging,
at the horizon every sun rise
I see a figure of hope,
waiting to be couped

If things gets more realistic,
then I have a reason to live
All I ask is your love,
So I can stay a little bit longer

I Love The Way You Kill Me

Every drop of blood,
is a satisfying sight to see
To see me bleed and suffer,
a harmony of long agony

I love the way you kill me,
slowly and gently you stab me
I love the way you kill me,
silently you hurt me

Every drop of tears,
is a satisfying scene to be
To see me cry in pain and agony,
a melody of long anguish

I love the way you kill me,
slowly and gently you impale me
I love the way you kill me,
silently you kill me

Your Backup

I'll send you a message,
of support and care
I'll help you carry the burden,
of worries and despair

For I also suffered your faith,
but I rejected all the hate
Those times were to treasure,
Even though there is a lot of pressure

I'll send you all my help,
with the support and care
I'll help you to ease the pain,
that left you gasping insane

For I also endured your situation,
but lived without any objection
Those events were to be kept,
inside this heart that is set

I'll send you my heart,
and hope you'll never reject
I'll help you recover,
from the pain that was left

For I also need you,
because you are my catalyst
Those things I endure,
is also because of you

KWL

Knowledge; I seek you now,
never let me go away
You give the face I need,
to make my day complete

Wisdom: I need you now,
never let me walk away
With your guidance I'm not astray,
you guide me into a better way

Love; I want you now,
never break me apart
With your voice I follow,
the path away from sorrow

The Days of Long Nights

The days of long nights,
started with your last sign
When everything got old,
you went away to be cold

The days of long nights,
started with the sound of chimes
When everything got torn apart,
you went away into the saddest part

The days of long nights,
started with your last sight
When everything got tiring,
you went away;looking for something inspiring

The Tree

Under a tree I sat,
with all of the things to be sad
The clouds is within this mourning heart,
raining and lightning struck it apart

Under a tree I sat,
with all of the things to be bad
The sun is within this avenging heart,
revenge and anger struck it apart

Under a tree I sat,
with all of the things to be glad
The wind is within this happy heart,
joy and laughter fixed it in place

What If

What if I'm gone,
will someone remember me?
The things I've done,
is just that tragic

What if I'm in pain,
will someone comfort me?
The sorrows I've endured,
and the pain of the torture

What if I'm a lover,
will someone love me too?
The heart that seeks,
a home to be lived

What if I'm happy,
will someone be happy for me?
All the this happiness will waste,
without anyone to share it with

Memoirs of A Teacher

I once lived inside a house,
where all the children played around
I told them of things that would help them,
to live a life of happiness

For years I nurtured their dreams,
and gave them all of their skims
In times their troubled; I give advise,
in times of pranks; I teach discipline

Now I see them walking on stage,
with hands all in praise
I'll miss them very much,
it's time for the next batch

Ang Huling Panunuyo

Kung iyong mamarapatin,
ako sana'y dinggin
Ang aking hinaiing sayo,
di mo batid 'pagkat ika'y malayo

Aking pagibig 'di mo tinanggap,
sa alapaap; ika'y hinahanap
Bawat sulok ng daigdig aking pupuntahan,
upan makapiling ang sya'ng minamahal

Ngunit ng ika'y matagpuan,
ako'y nabigla sa nalaman
Puso mo'y nakalaan sa iba,
halik mo'y dumampi sa iba

Aking puso 'di mo pinahalagahan,
sa mga anino; ako'y gumagala
Bawat luha sa mata'y pinunas,
humuhikbi sa pagkamalas

Natural ba sayo ang makakita,
ng taong nasasaktan?
Walang bahala ka kung magdisisyon,
di mo alam ang tunay na sitwasyon

Kung Ika'y nakakaramdam; maawa ka,
sapagkat ako'y labis na nataranta
Sinugatan mo ko ngunit di mo alam,
baka sa kalaunan ako'y mag paalam

Depressed No More

Cold evening winds from the east,
seems to penetrate deep within him
The days of long nights and sorrow,
can't end without the last call

But for this time he's not afraid,
he walks alone beneath the shadows of gray
He uses the pieces that are left behind,
he will never ask for another rewind

Warm afternoon bliss from the west,
seems to revive the heart within him
The short days of glory and praise,
again he tries to raise

But for this time he's not alone,
for millions alike walks along the light rays
They used the broken pieces that are left behind,
they never asked for another rewind

He felt good for he is not alone,
a lot of them have the same norm
He walks as a loner in a world of goners,
and used all the the strength and power

But for this time he's not weak,
for sometimes he became very meek
He used the broken pieces that are left behind,
he will never ask for another rewind

Lifeline

You've left a huge scar,
and broke this heart apart
The pain was so deep,
I was abashed and left incomplete

When this things got out of hand,
you rejected me and I fell apart
I saw you free and soaring then,
Now I see you with another hand

This letters;I torn apart,
for you left me in pain that's sharp
The nights turned into days,
because my eyes won't stop to glaze

The glory of those sweet days,
turned me down as I pray
Why did you left this feeling alive,
when you've chosen a another lifeline?

I've been suffering from your decision,
now I let myself go into confusion
Flowers that are meant for you,
is now a shadow colored in hue

When the sky turned gray and rained,
I saw no figure of you to be saved
I looked up and started to cry,
does this tears means goodbye?

This poems; I burn it all,
for they have no meaning anymore
The stars fell into the earth,
and my night skies are completely empty

The happiness of those sweet days,
broke me apart as I pray
Why did you left me gasping for air,
for you are my last living lifeline?

Carried By Emotion

Blank sheets of paper in front of me,
what shall I write on them; letters of love and affection?
All seems to be lost when you rejected me,
then I call all my unwanted necessities

You choose to be loved and cared by another one,
I can't accept the fact that I'm not that one
What did I do wrong for you to give me no attention?
Can you tell me and make no tension?

Kill me if you hate me; stab me if you don't,
I don't want to suffer; your image makes a haunt
What shall you do if I kill myself in front of you?
Will you help me kill myself too?

An Angel's Visit

Look and you shall find,
the missing link in your mind
The gap in the puzzle of life,
is within your spinning sight

Call and you shall hear,
the faint voices is getting clear
The sound that brings you joy,
is from the heaven's unending voice

Ask and you shall think,
about the good things this brings
The answers to all your questions,
will come up without attention

Love and you shall feel,
that all the signs are real
You'll see me fly away,
Then your happiness will go and fade

Consience Advisory

Standing near the highest peak,
realizing that it is already near
No one can help you now,
cause you've made a vow

Your starting to collect,
the broken pieces of your heart
The soul of your love disappeared,
and you start to make her as the enemy

You bitter boy; is your heart that soft?
When things got out of hand you go sob
You made her as your inspiration,
now you made her a sign of rejection

No angel can go near your heart,
because the demon took you apart
You push the good things away,
because you see her disarray

You unfortunate boy; is your heart that low?
When will you learn that she never know
You made yourself suffer for nothing,
she will never know your caring

Kill your emotions and let time tell,
the things that you need to know
Let her be loved by someone,
don't be a fool and have her

Your not that ready for you to love her,
train yourself to control and manage
For the the signs are not that clear,
make sure you never tear

The Wanderer

I search for a sanctuary for me to enter,
a place that I need for my sweet surrender
I looked from east to west,
and endured a lot of test

From where I came from; there's no peace,
the life I had is now a broken piece
So I took a staff and wandered off,
to search that place where I can be soft

I came to place where everything is perfect,
a place where love and care is the subject
I prayed to God and thank him for this,
for the journey I took is already complete

As time goes by the paradise turns to hell,
and all the things in the past now returned
So I took my staff and walked away,
I looked back at the place of dismay

When will I stop wandering for a place of silence?
When everything in this world is nothing but darkness
So I looked at the image of my beloved,
and hoped that she return and be loved again

For now I wander off into the wilderness,
in search of a new settlement
If I find it again I'll never leave,
all I need to do is to believe

Bottle Temptation

A cold bliss went up into my head,
and I started to see this place as red
The mixture of alcohol and sadness,
puts me to a different test

My eyes says I should slumber,
so I'll keep this things under
But temptation urges me to continue,
with all the things I could do

I started with only one bottle,
when the spirit kicks in I toggle
Like acid; It burns my throat,
like poison; It kills my soul

A temporary nirvana awaits me,
but after that everything annoys me
A sweet surrender so it seems,
a bitter after taste after it begins

This water is quite addictive,
when I drink it; It's very effective
It kills all the worries of the mind,
but after it you'll have nothing to hide

A Boy's Confusion

I started facing all the inconvenient truths,
and I seek this new and better routes
But still I look behind and pray,
that all of those things won't hunt me again

The streak of light hit's this tearful eyes,
as the new sun came out and rise
Finally this heart is gone with the wind,
but why does this love needs to be kept and beamed?

With all the necessary proof of rejection,
I resign and looked for a better projection
But why do I still have the feelings for that girl,
when she's happy with another pearl?

I tried ignoring her everyday,
but this eyes wants her to be glazed
I see an image she portray's,
the girl who needs a lot of space

My ideas came straight from her presence,
my fear and worries visits in her absence
Somehow the connection is slowly revived,
but I'll try to destroy it and hide

So I'll have a final review of myself,
can I live without the person who completes me?
Can I love another person who indeed loves me back,
or will I be an idiot and set things back

For now this feelings won't disappear,
because she is still the one this love hold dear
The final conclusion to this tragic tapestry,
is about to come with all the my misery

The Red Mask

I've been in the edge of fear,
and all of the scene are here
I can't see through that fog,
it covers her and it tugs

The whole place is turning upside-down,
and their faces turned into a frown
Down with all of the good things,
is the old man with his species

He gave me a red mask to wear,
and told me to go out and tell
The things I want to say,
and let mercy make them pay

That red mask gave me power,
and showed me how to love her
But the devils wrath is within it,
so I looked for another way

For about a month the worst happened,
the sword of her cold heart sharpened
All of my fears returned,
and the call of the demon is playing

Then I saw the red mask,
back in my shaking hands
It tells me to use him and be powerful again,
to prevent all the signs of pain

What should I do with this red mask?
should I throw it out into the vast?
Or will I wear it with no second thoughts,
and have all the demonic talks?

Goodnight; Goodbye

I see her but I can't go near her,
for the walls she created is just to tall
Like an idiot I made myself suffer,
she never tends to even bother

Goodnight; Goodbye happiness,
for what I have is emptiness
In the dark I see nothingness,
only pain goes into this veins

I know her but I can't tell her,
the things that she truly bothers
The scene made me go crazy,
a man; paranoid over a daisy

Goodnight; Goodbye sanity,
for this pain seems to be an infinity
I try to find the lost fidelity,
but I can't see the reality

I love her but I can't have her,
because she's to mature to be handled
I let her pass with her ways,
the I count all the days

Goodnight; Goodbye friend,
for you are the one I tell
Living far from you is like hell,
your love is like a spell

Can We Start Over Again?

I remember those days,
when everything was a ablaze
A friendship that was good,
in secret it was better

Friendship turned into love,
but that thing isn't enough
I kept it secret as long as I could,
but this heart said that I should

A reckless Saturday it was,
when beer made it's glorious wash
Through the keyboard I say,
all the things and led me to dismay

For a month there's no interaction,
that brought me to a state of confusion
Until our temporary farewells were said,
the things kept hitting my head

For my return I hope for your response,
can we star over again and let me take the sums?
The friendship I want to resurrect,
from the ashes I've made and relay

The love I'll put away for you,
will be given if you want it to
But let us be friends again,
let me be your tutor again

Sweet Breeze

Sweet breeze; I call you now,
for my lungs needs air somehow
I want to taste your coolness,
I'm to tired being breathless

Sweet breeze; I need you now,
pacify my sadness somehow
For I've been suffering long enough,
from this pain that's very tough

Sweet breeze; I seek you now,
this coward needs you somehow
Anxiety brings him far from reality,
and he created his own fantasy

Sweet breeze; I want you now,
I just can't get over her somehow
She never did a thing to me,
but everyday she tortures me

Sweet Breeze; I cry to you now,
this tears I can't keep somehow
For this heart is nearly broken,
and I can't do things about it

Stella venire non possem(Image)

Stella venire non possem

The night sky is filled with stars,
and it seems to be filled with gold bars
I imagine myself a cherubim,
who plays with all of the light beams

I soar the night sky in search of that star,
looking from left to right seeing nothing so far
The star that would fill the emptiness of this heart,
the one who will see through the darkest part

I saw one drifting in front of me,
a beautiful and bright entity
The light shined through the vacancies
and I love what it brings to me

But the time came that the star drifted away,
leaving my evening adventure into dismay
I try to fly towards it,
but prevented by a dark pit

I prayed for that star to drift back to me,
so it can save me and set me free
From this world of a loner,
I try to reach for that goner

That star is now as far as the galaxies,
leaving me in a situation of anxiety
I miss the time it was close to me,
the warmth i felt is worth mentioning

But It seems that star I could not reach,
because the winds blew it at the breach
A tear fell whenever I see the light,
fades as it hide into the night

The star I could not reach left,
flying towards the new vent
I'll begin to look again,
when the signal had finally ended

The Girl From Plaridel

The scene in my day turns colorful,
when I see the face of wonders
That girl from plaridel,
went inside my heart and fell

That smile that I use as a catalyst,
also makes the spirit within a silent priest
For the image of purity is on her,
and my joy that no one could alter

All the men around her becomes weakened by her beauty,
but do they know her true identity
They make moves to have your hands,
but I'm here waiting for your demands

That girl from plaridel won my trust,
but she seems to lost all the parts
For she needs one person to love her,
not another person to spoil her

She suffered once before from love immature,
now she needs a lover who secures
The one who will never hurt her like before,
and make sure all her worries never toll

I hope I could be that person,
that who will love her for reason
But I have nothing to offer,
that heart that needs a lover

For she is that high I couldn't reach,
so I look up to her as she made me speak
But this mouth cant open in her presence,
so I lost a lot of essence

I love that girl from plaridel,
I need her as much as to yell
So I need that girl from plaridel,
just to keep me from going to fall

Can She Read My Mind?

Can she read my mind?
can she see darkness not light?
Will she see the love and compassion,
that this heart got from her treasure

Can she read my mind?
can she see darkness not light?
Can she feel the pain I bear,
and the touch of love in the air

Could she see the things I do,
for her to give me a better view?
Does she like to see the wrath eat,
this heart that is not made of meat

Does she likes to see this heart to suffer?
to burn and let this soul die in anger
With no clarification and the action,
will she ignore this feeling of compassion?

But then again they couldn't answer,
the simple things about her
And the question remains clear and stronger
can she read my mind and let me suffer?

The Great Depression(image)

El corazón inquieto

Now this heart is tired,
and went into the hive
The beating of it's soul,
had finally relapsed

Now that this heart is a little tired,
I think it's about time to bring the things back
As long as she's free and flying,
there's no need to be bothering

Tell me how to stop this restless heart,
from flying away and depart
Now what will this thing do,
when it starts living without you

5:30

From this reckless month,
all seems to be in taunt
Couples make their plans,
and all seems to be in hand

Now I face nothingness and shame,
for the cowardliness and stupidity I've made
For the race is done and complete,
and I landed on the fifth

In the weeks of my bitterness,
I wait until the afternoon
At the time of her dismissal,
the chances where darn good

But I choose to be silent,
and let somebody take the chances
I'm now in that same hour,
without anyone to bother

Now when the new afternoon comes,
I lay down in the arms of wrath
I watch her go out of this heart,
and she headed to the next part

She didn't like the strategies,
and preferred to be on his boundaries
I've done this to myself and and let her slip away
and I created my own world very gray

When that hour comes I just stand at the corner,
and let that tears to shower
For this hour is no celebration,
I'll better be dead than to be martyred

None Shall Be Spoken

The time has finally come,
For this restless heart to relax
Words that was kept inside,
Now gives me the signal to resign

Without trying I retreat,
Than to hear the true meaning
I’m willing to be battered,
Than hear that things that alter

Known to be kind hearted,
Rainbows fill her morning
In times I sit on the fences,
Sadness eats the feelings

The fear of the unknown hunts me,
In her gestures; I calculate my chances
None shall be spoken
Everything seems to be taken

By the time that the period ends,
My nightmares won’t make amends
I feel guilt than bitterness
Because you are not meaningless

You deserve a better person,
The one who will give the right action
For now none shall be spoken,
For everything is taken

For two days of the sun
I won’t be gone
After this period of rest,
It’s time to built another nest

But the time of confrontation,
Is not yet in motion
None shall be spoken,
Everything is taken

Who will you choose from the four?
Is it him? No one knows
But again; I’ll be watching
And I hope for a new beginning

Ang Aking Panig

Ako'y isang magaaral na naghahangad,
na ako'y makatapos at maging mapalad
Para sa aking pag-aaral ako'y handa,
para ipagmalaki ang bansa at ang madla

Ngunit sa aking pagmamasid,
ang aking kritoko'y naka panig
Tinutuligsa at niyuyurakan,
ang aking magandang pangalan

Pilit nila akong pinapahirapan,
upang hindi na ako makapalag
Hawak nila ako sa leeg,
ginapos sa gitna ng ilang

Sa harap ng husgado tinig ko'y hindi pinakikinggan,
Sapagkat ang aking mga kaaway ay palaging hadlang
panu kaya nila maririnig ang aking panig,
kung ang kanilang maga tenga'y palaging naka sara

Sana'y tulunagn ako ng maykapal,
upang ang aking daing ay hindi hadlangan
Sapagkat ang aking panig ay kumakatawan,
sa buong mundo na nahihirapan

The Curse Of The Bottle

A problem that needs a remedy,
when you use this there's another entity
A thing that you can break easily,
but can kill you quickly

This is filled with a potion,
that brings you to a dimension
That is very illuminated,
and very complicated

The potion burns your throat,
but usually very good
Sometimes expensive and costly,
but some are very thrifty

The curse that this bottle have,
is the poison to love
To temporarily stop the pain,
and continue the waiting game

Try to prevent using this bottle,
because the curse will make you rattle
As long as you can fight,
make sure that the cap is tight

The curse of the bottle lingers,
through the pain and shaking fingers
For the potion is still strong,
and will create a scene that's wrong

The Bloodless Bleeding

The pain of seeing that moment,
causes a deep and serious torment
To suffer a incurable pain,
makes the whole world rain

A great and long night,
everything seems to be on flight
An invisible saber appeared,
stabs you wildly and disappeared

Invisible wounds causes invisible bleeding,
and makes a long painful feeling
A suffering that has no physical signs,
when will you see the last fight?

For you suffer the wounds of no physical battle,
so you will endure a painful bloodless bleeding
A deep feeling of pain that needs no aspirin,
and a bleeding that's worth remembering

Can anyone help you now?
if there's someone tell me how
for this bloodless bleeding you endure,
affects the physical figure

The time this bleeding stops,
will be the time that moment fades
Along with the person who caused it,
these will speed up the healing

For this bloodless bleeding ends,
at the right time at the place
You will accept the truth,
and you will bear it's fruit

And the person who caused this will fly away,
And your whole world will be the same
Painless,happy and lively,
for she is also happy

The Bitterness Begins

I curse the day that I met her,
for she is the first girl I've surrender
This is the last thing that I have to tell her
that she is the one I will truly remember

For this heart who felt love before,
turned bitter and face a different door
The face that gave me inspiration,
now gives me a new dimension

I admit that this is all my fault,
because the chance I requested truly absurd
I didn't pass her qualities,
so there was a new entity

I admit that she is over my standards,
and she deserves a better guy onwards
I think it's about time to release her,
or suffer the wrath of jealousy

But she left a huge scar on my battered heart,
and she is the fourth person who broke me apart
Even though I never had the chance to have her,
the love I gave her in which she will never remember

For she likes a person who keeps her happy,
with tears I give her to that guy who is really lucky
The cowardliness I feel,
shows it's consequence and disappears

So my love I want you to know,
that as a friend I want you to go
Be happy and never be lonely

For once again I stand in the shadows of secrecy,
where my eyes watches and my heart be empty
For the courage I need is in you,
and all need is a sight of you

To Her

To her I give my praise,
for she is no disgrace
To her I give my race,
for she holds the key and prays

To her I give my days,
for she gives me the space
To her I give my tears,
for my fear is for her to disappear

To her I lend my hand,
So she may be saved
To her I lend my shoulder,
For her to cry on

To her I give my heart,
so I will never depart
To her I give my everything,
that no one else could imagine

But is she willing to accept,
this offering I set?
Can she love for who I am?
a person filled with guilt

Even her presence I can't demand,
for she needs different hands
I hope she talks to me,
so I can bring back my sanity

Ang Liham

Meron akong ginawang liham,
para mabawasan ang pagdaramdam
Ito'y aking kinukubli,
ng wala nang masabi

Sa tamang panaho'y,
ito'y ibibigay
sa pinakamamahal,
upang ako'y maghintay

Pero sa aking nakikita,
itong liham ay wala ng bisa
Sapagkat ang puso nya'y,
nakalaan na sa iba

Marapat ko ng sunugin o pirapirasuhin,
ang papel na nagtataglay ng aking lihim
Sapagkat siya'y hindi handang umibig
luha'y aagos na parang tubig

The Great Depression

Every morning as I wake up,
I see tears that I can't held up

For you hurt me in things you never knew,
and this heart is in a different view

I was told to approach you,
and talk about a future

But I rather not to,
Because I don't know your mood

So I sit on fences,
and I give you some motives

My childish act strikes again,
and I went to the root this brain

Since I can't make an action,
I suffer this great depression

For a simple crush had turned into love,
and that love seems to be rejected and sobbed

I tell this through this simple words,
because I don't have the guts to give orders

I love you and I tell you,
through this great depression

I cleanse myself for that future,
and if you reject it

I'm better be dead,
than be living

Dying Star

One night I looked at the sky,
all it's splendors are up high

The twinkling stars gazed and blazed
for the arrival of a new offspring is at hand

While the sky was rejoicing,
a small light is fading

A star the withstand the ages,
is now resting at the heavens

It saw the creation of the earth,
and witnessed the human's birth

It guided the travelers on their voyage,
and saw the peoples rampage

It took part on special occasions,
and took all the veneration

It saw the cruelty,the anger and pain,
and kept for it's final reign

For he needs to rest and let go,
and give another star a goal

It had given it's last light,
and will fade into the night

He Never Forgets

He stands at the top of the pillars,
where he can see the world of liars

His heart is weary and abashed,
for his people is too advanced

His followers now question his existence,
for they want their wish to be done this instance

He had given everything to them,
but they choose to follow the devil

He's pity among his creation is just great,
that he had given his only son as bait

For he want him to save the the entire population,
with his blood and his passion

Then after his son's great sacrifice,
the age of his glory was at it's peak

But after a thousand years of his fame,
his followers vanquished and died

He keeps everything inside,
and he will tear away our pride

For he never forgets our sins,
and he will always be the king

The Sacred Apparition

I stand at the foot of a mountain,
waiting for her to show the fountain

In which God placed his blessing,
and for us to believe in

A fountain that gives everlasting water,
and the fountain that never had disappeared

The woman will show the fountain,
will shower roses as rain

To show her purity and justice,
which mortals can't practice

Her divine robe touches the ground,
and it shakes like a hound

Her image was a blinding sight,
that warriors would stop to fight

As she delivers the message from God,
my tears came down and I sobbed

The message of hope and warnings,
of this world of ache and worries

She spread out her hands above me,
and spoke her final blessing

She told me that the fountain will appear soon,
but let all the generations bloom

For drinking the water of the sacred fountain,
means a covenant with all of God's creation

She then smiled and asked me to pray,
that all will be happy and gay

The angels took her from my sight,
and the heavens closed up at that time

Pray for us oh holy mother,
that we may be worthy of receiving the water

El corazón que late

The heart that pounds like a drum,
seeks forgiveness in sum
The flesh that pumps blood,
is different from the heart that pumps love

For you came to this hopeless life,
changed everything and died
The beating heart seeks your love,
even though you treat it very rough

The soulless body is now waiting,
for this agony is worth enduring
The beating heart is yours to have,
I will take all your reprimands

The Loner

Two weeks seems like eternity,
waiting for my sanity
As the morning sun hits my waiting skin,
I tell myself "it's another skim"

While waiting for the the right time to talk,
I stood outside of her boundaries and around it I walk
For the start of the third week I walk alone,
seeking comfort and my heart's home

Being paranoid when she talk to another one,
secret tears are shed while drinking rum
I walk alone in this cruel society,

I walk alone in this hated world
Because I find sanctuary in her heart,
only the fear set us apart

I'm the loner who chosen his faith,
I'm the one who needs to be hated
I walk alone in this path of illusion
where her touch is just a fiction

The Sanctuary

The cold evening air blew,
it is heading to a place that is new

Meaningless suffering,
makes a good offering

He went to a place of worship,
to make another yearning

He told his father his weary,
and ask for his sympathy

As the candles burn,
he prayed for he earned

He's now restless and despised,
rejected and demised

So he went to this place,
and mourn for his disgrace

He took a long breath,
and looked at the end

He saw nothing because it's not the end,
for his ways is going to bend

He only went their to be enlighten,
of problems that's about to kindeled

The birds flew in this place,
even though it's no a race

The wind was calm,
as he took him in her arms

The green sight is only temporary,
for this will be not easy

After he leaves the sactuary,
then this will be a worry

A Warrior's Heart

A bell rings on the east side,
the signal of the new fight
A call of alliance is in the air,
but this restless heart is in despair

Does the sword be the remedy,
for the heart of this warrior
For he suffered the invisible wounds,
that no medicine can cure

The ache of the past comes to hunt him,
and his future is a little dim
They told to move on,
pick up a weapon and go

But could he leave his life in the fields,
where his life had been lived?
A field of grains is enough,
but blood is very rough

When will this battle end?
When will this battle end?
Is this the solution for healing a broken heart?
to pick up a sword and die like a hero

For his heart is now lifeless,
it's better for him to die hopeless
The tip of the sword shall kill him,
Not the words of the hear that haunts him

Mourning Of A Cold And Empty Heart

I start every morning,
with songs unending

The crying heart calls for comfort,
and the anguish kills without effort

She's still in my mind,
trying to connect and bind

Is this situation my catalyst,
or it is another abyss

I ask my peers to help me,
but neither of them understand it

For the fourth time I loved,
in the fourth time I sobbed

Because unlike the three,
she's the perfect one for me

She preferred stronger ones,
weakness is her dislikes

So I ask for strength for this silent suffering,
I will keep doing a song unending

For she opened this cold and empty heart,
and she also closed with a bitter part

Bigo

Dumaan sya sa ibang ibayo,
at ako'y biglang natalo

Kung dati'y parang baliw na naghihintay,
ngayo'y puro pout ang nka hintay

Di mo malman kung galit o lungkot ang mararamdaman,
kung wala ka sa posisyon para ito'y malaman

Kung ako'y di umiimik ng ilang araw,
ngayo'y pekeng ngiti ang naka salang

Pwede akong lapitan at pagsabihan,
ngunit ako'y hindi na mag sasalita

Sapagkat nadurog muna ang pusong tatlong beses na iniwan
At dahil dun ako'y nag paparaya at nag papaiwan

Ngunit kung ako'y iyong tawagin,
sa oras na ika'y nangangamba

Ako'y handang makinig at mag payo lamang
sapagkat alam ko na lahat ng sasabihin mo ay pang kaibigan lang

The Message He Could'nt Tell

A person who stands at the door,
calls you friend but he adores

He pretends to be happy,
but this time he's worried

He does nothing to stop you from slipping away
All he ever wanted is to be loved and be gay

He don't know how your mind runs,
so he acts very dumb

The fainting is just an illusion of his tricks,
when he likes someone who tends to pick

He may look strange and odd,
but his heart is like a rock

He build up walls of lies,
to keep enemies in ties

So if you don't want to know him more,
he's better gone with the worse

Because he is not a very good in courting,
does not mean he is not loving

He's just afraid to show his feelings,
because he hates to hear gossips

You may call him a coward; that's fine to him,
but if you say he's worthless: that's another thing

Once you talk to him in this moment of confusion,
he will give in and tell his you his illusions

May you listen and understand him,
because he is still wondering

If your angry or deceiving,
or nothing is happening

I tell you this; not to get you irritated,
or keep him away from your fences

He just need someone to talk to,
in times he's not on virtues

I hope you talk to him soon,
in a place where no one is allowed to hear

He's a private person,
and he'll be ready for questions

As long as he's comfortable answering,
he will be mentioning

He wants to put it into finality,
and get along with reality

For you're the one his thinking,
and his mind is collapsing

His so called friends betrayed him,
and he now wants to know if you're declining

For his spirit is burned out,
but his heart is still living

Back Where I Came From

It’s already time to leave and everything is already packed. I wait beside the door and looked at the yearbook and remembered all the things that had happened for the past three years. Funny though, all the persons who helped me were already gone beyond my sight. Suddenly, the sound of a motorbike engine fills my excited ears because the time of our departure is already near. An hour and a half pass and we arrived at the docks. You can already smell the sea breeze in the air. While we were waiting for the vessel to reach the docks, I sent text messages to my friends and mentors containing my farewell and thanksgiving. Remembering those who helped you can really make a departure scene really interesting. The seabirds are already alarmed by the loud sound of the ship’s horn. Finally after a few minutes, we entered the ship and settled in our cabins.


Night falls and we were already in the middle of the vast ocean. We looked backed at the place we came from and to our surprise; the darkness hid it from our eyes. We tucked in bed early so that we can be ready for our arrival at the city. The dream of tough life started playing in my mind. Everything was very complicated and but it was worth it. No man can reach his goals without bumping into a tough situations right? Even dogs would have to deal with these things. When our journey was almost over, the sun’s rays blinded our eyesight. The water became murky and the clear view became foggy. The stench of rotting trash was already in the air and I said to myself welcome back! Hope you will never leave again! At last the city is a meter away from me. Nothings change since the day I left it. The smog of the port is already blocking the captain’s binoculars; he find it difficult to maneuver the vessel to its right position.

We started to leave the vessel and we ventured our way out of the pier. As we were making our way home, I observed the daily situation here at the city. Unlike in the province, the roads here are much bigger and noisier. The sight of tricycle is converted into a sight of four wheeled vehicles. Cars, bus, trucks name it! Every mode of transportation that the human being had created is present in every street of the city. I find the sound of car engines and blow horns as the music that my ears missed. The blissful air of the country side left my lungs and the polluted air of the metropolis comes rushing in. I was in a complicated paradise but no one will really understand my meaning of a perfect home

We reached our home; simple and blessed. The things that I left was still the same but in my eyes it’s already changed. Maybe it’s because I left everything for three years and now I’m back where I came from.

In The Middle Of Waiting

In the middle of waiting,
I tried another beginning

Maybe I got tired of waiting,
so I tried escaping

The fourth hour felt uninterested,
maybe she needs to be tested

I don't want to lose the fourth hour,
and make a dreadful tower

For me to hide and look,
and write everything in book

I'll still be waiting,
while my mind is departing

Anxiety took me again,
and I started to pretend

I'm sure the fourth hour had notice,
that I'm humiliating in practice

Wind of faith blew hard,
Hard enough to push the open door

Quickly! I said to my mind,
go against the tide

Because if I give up,
It will be very rough

For the fourth hour is not yet done,
it will be bad if it is gone

I'm in the middle of waiting,
and someone is judging

So send this to all,
Before i decide to fall

The Fourth Hour

The fourth hour is upon me,
and I'm still waiting a theme

That holds a future,
and for me to nurture

I stand in-front of an open door,
Waiting for her to go to my floor

But she rather look backward,
to see if it is awkward

As I embark the fourth hour,
I saw a beautiful flower

It's beauty lured me into the light,
and let me fly away from the night

The door is still open,
but her heart is in burden

She still looks behind,
she lets her mind unwind

Is she willing to enter?
or she just want to be alone

I embark the fourth hour,
waiting for her to enter

A Fear

The heart never stopped beating,
but your hands started departing

This second day I'm not ignoring you,
I'm just waiting for the right time to talk to you

As hours pass by,
I wait for another try

But fear took over me,
and made me very weary

So at this moment I'm a loner,
saying to myself that I'm a goner

What am I doing?,
I'm not good at everything

So you think I'm only joking,
and I make myself a fool

So don't wonder if I'm ignoring you
because I'm not that brave as you

Breaking traditions (Wedding)

“Tradition simply means that we need to end what began well and continue what is worth continuing” says Jose Bergamine; a Spanish writer. One of the world’s social problems is getting along with certain tradition that some nations imply in their way of living. This traditions are sometimes complicated and complex that the present generation find it difficult to follow. The youth are now liberated and very curios to explore the things that their tradition had prevented them to do in the past. Once there was a wedding in the province that was postponed because the priest disliked the idea of the groom to make the color of the wedding venue to be black. From wedding dress to the dress of the groom’s men suite everything should be in pitch black. The priest’s reason for his disapproval is that according to church tradition the theme color of the wedding should be white to represent purity and cleanliness of the soul. We want to talk about the traditions that prevents us to do unique things (in this case, a wedding)

There are two traditions that affect a wedding ceremony:

1. Church traditions

2. Native traditions

These two traditions have different basis that it imply in the actual wedding. First let us concentrate on the Church traditions.

The Catholic Church is known to be a conservative religion (even though its members are not that conservative). The Church considers the wedding as one of the most holy sacraments that a catholic should understand. It is called The Sacrament of holy matrimony. Every Catholic should follow a mutual rule that a wedding should not be declared as null or void because the church tells us that a wedding is a promise between the person to be married and God. The theme of the wedding should be pure and solemn because weddings are often done inside a church. The colors of a wedding should not be dark and gothic because these colors represent Hell or the abyss. And the most important tradition in a catholic wedding is that the persons involve in this ceremony is a man and woman. If these Church Traditions are broken or abused, the church shall not recognize it.

Let us now put our discussion on Native traditions. Our Country was influenced by different countries in performing wedding ceremonies. Let us enumerate some of these traditions:

1. Throwing of uncooked rice after leaving the venue of the wedding(Indian)
2. The groom’s parents and the bride’s parents plans the wedding in the bride’s house or “Pamanhikan”(Spanish)
3. An extravagant feast for the guest and entourage after the wedding(Chinese)
4. Giving respect to the parents by the groom and the bride at the altar(Chinese)
5. Throwing of a bouquet of flowers to the awaiting single bride’s maid believing that if anyone woman who got the flowers will be the next bride(Americans)
6. Offering eggs to Saint Clair before a wedding for good weather.(Spanish)

On the case of the wedding in our introduction, the groom broke a church tradition, that’s why the priest disapproved. The quotation in our introduction tells us that we should continue traditions that are beneficial and we should irrelevant traditions. With this we conclude that traditions are things that we should decide to imply or not. Humans created these traditions and also humans can deny it. It is up to us if these traditions are beneficial or not; If these traditions are good or bad. We should know the pros and cons when it comes to tradition because it is not a good source of wisdom. Some traditions are very complicated and be weird to the sight to our neighboring countries. But again It’s up to US.

Now I Tell You The Truth

I once loved as much as I live,
but not successful and so it seems

A feeling of sadness shook me from different directions,
and I lost all the visible connections

For three years I waited for another moment,
remembering all of the torment

They told me it's hopeless,
and believed it's true

But after years of waiting,
it seems I'm fading

I feel no more love,
when the last one departs

Know I tell you this,
tomorrow will never be a risk

Cause when you decide as early as now,
I will let you be and find another one

Because I can't bear another pain,
so I will let you decide and I'll wait

Will I continue? or will I stop?

Their Sacrifice

Written in blood and sweat,
the words that prevented threats

Heroes made it clear,
that our country is very dear

The blade of the sword,
is like the might of the word

For the sacrifice of the few,
became the voice of the people's point of view
