"your future...

depends on me"

sa sipat

ng araw

sa sulyap

ng aspalto

wheels passed
gears run
butts fell
foot went
water flowed

rice mill

grains like pearls

caused the

peasants to

rebel

as they feed us, like leeches
we cling, at their mercy we sip

dependent

we drain them

till death

life starts after eruption

bicol aftermath

in awe and despair

we need to move...

hope

mother earth replenishes...

itabi yu cu pa, pulayi ku mu...

pero ing balik queca yu

pabulusuc, ala ko man male

cabud kayu mipyac!!!
