Yesterday, today, and tomorrow

Ang ngayon ay ang bukas
na dating pinapangarap

Ang ngayon ay ang kahapon
na babalik-tanawin
paminsan-minsan

Kay bilis ng panahon
kay ikli ng oras.

Bato!

Bato, bato, bato
Batong matigas, walang pakiramdam
Walang pakialam sa mundong ginagalawan
Batong maitim, magaspang
Pangit sa labas ngunit...
kapagkanabagsak, pulbos ang lalabas
Pulbos na may iba't ibang kulay
Sasama sa hangin matapos ay lalagpak
Sa lupang tigang at sa buhangi'y
Makikiulayaw ...

Raw... why did i write this one in 1988
It's so raw, but so true
Words have effects on people
They are just here for us to use
Will you agree if i say that there are words which are termed or considered dead! So be it, dead they may be but actually not; these words seem to be dead, we deem them dead because we do not use them; sadly, they are just forgotten and slowly being shoved in a dark or darkest corner in our room until a day comes and we need these words to say what we should say and should express. No one individual will get things right or have deeds done rightly without words. Sometimes we say that silence is best to be the language of our heart - Yes... BUT...too much silence is suffocating as too much words said is killing. Find the balance. It's just right. It's just proper. Don't leave without saying something, clearly... do not leave one hanging. jan29,2006 :)
