         OFW - Overseas Filipino Workers

 

Oh If Double You  
  What can you do?    
     Your salary is coming      
     Time to pay the due     
    
           You're away from home             
In a country not your own 
     Sacrifices are done      
Just to take money home
                                      
               Your hard earned money               
                Is a sweet jar of honey                                                       
Made kins so happy
Leaving you almost empty
             
          Then they call you a hero         
But the help is almost zero
 Better go back to your barrio
And plant corn and potato.

A Filipino Dream - My Spirit

A Filipino Dream - My Spirit which was written by poet Lei Strauss .   A Filipino Dream - My Spirit   I have a Filipino dream! Stop the war and wild loud of scream I have a dream not for myself. Not a selfish man who thinks of himself. I have a Filipino dream! Cease the pain of a poor at the stream. Three stars are united as one. My dreams and love are bounded as one. I have a Filipino dream! Be the best in our craft and one of the prim. Eight rays of sun symbolize hope. Filipinos will rise and reach the peak of slope. I have a Filipino dream! Rapidly admired coz we’re now the cream. I have a dream for my one country land. An endless peace and success for my one true land.     https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/a_filipino_dream___my_spirit_645256

ANG KANYANG MGA MATA

This short Tagalog poem was written by Clodualdo del Mundo. It was inspired by the Japanese haiku form. ANG KANYANG MGA MATA Dalawang bituing   kumikislap-kislap    sa gitna   ng dilim. . .   Tambal ng aliw   na sasayaw-sayaw   sa tuwing ako’y   naninimdim. . .   Bukang-liwayway ng isang pagsintang    walang maliw! Takipsilim   ng isang pusong    di magtataksil! https://www.tagaloglang.com/short-tagalog-love-poem/

SA TABI NG DAGAT

This famous Tagalog love poem was written by Ildefonso Santos in 1897.     SA TABI NG DAGAT   Marahang-marahang manaog ka, Irog, at kata’y lalakad, maglulunoy katang payapang-payapa sa tabi ng dagat; di na kailangang sapnan pa ang paang binalat-sibuyas, ang daliring garing at sakong na wari’y kinuyom na rosas! Manunulay kata, habang maaga pa, sa isang pilapil na nalalatagan ng damong may luha ng mga bituin; patiyad na tayo ay maghahabulang simbilis ng hangin, nguni’t walang ingay, hangganq sa sumapit sa tiping buhangin… Pagdating sa tubig, mapapaurong kang parang nanginigmi, gaganyakin kata sa nangaroroong mga lamang-lati: doon ay may tahong, talaba’t halaang kabigha-bighani, hindi kaya natinmapuno ang buslo bago tumanghali? Pagdadapit-hapon kata’y magbabalik sa pinanggalingan, sugatan ang paa at sunog ang balat sa sikat ng araw… Talagang ganoon: Sa dagat man, irog, ng kaligayahan, lahat, pati puso ay naaagnas ding marahang-marahan...
