Paanong tayo’y napadpad sa ilang?

Paanong tayo’y napadpad sa ilang?

Hinihip sa hangi’t hayo sa kawalan.

Nang sanlaksang punla ng isang maylalang

Sakop ang liwanag-taon bagkus maunawaan

Sumilip ang liwanag at bumutas ng langit

Kumulay ang oras sa balat ng espasyo

Namamaklang tubig dayuha’t pintasin

Hatid ang sustansya sa abang mga alipin.

‘lipas ng panaho’y umukit ang kasaysayan

Na ang mga punla ay halal sa pag-inam

Sumibol ang maliit na kotiledon sa tadyang

Lumaki’t humulma na tinawag na isang bayan.

Bayani ang bansag sa lahi ng alipin

Ngunit paglao’y maharlikang naging

Naglunsad ang hari ng kanyang mga piging

Sa bawat sulok ng arkipelagong angkin

At kinamkam ang kilala’t mga tagong lupain

Buhat umusbong sanlibong relihiyon

Dumatal kasama ang ‘sang milyong poon

Batid sa labi sa pilosopiyang tugon

Sa sanlaksang walang kasagutang tanong

Magmumula sa langit, sa ibabaw ng ulap

Propetang dakila’t may tangan na aklat

Sa ulo nakaputong ang katotohanan

Bigkas ang awitin ng mga pilosopo

Pisiko, kimiko, mekaniko, puta, at musikero

Politiko

Ililibing ang buhay at bubuhayin ang nakalibing

Sisiklab ng apoy sa dagat ng kamangmangan

Pipintahan ng dugo ang sining ng bawat

Sisilanging sanggol

Tuturuang magiliw ng agham

Ang propeta’y bulaan

Tangan ang kasagutan

Sa mga walang kasagutang tanong

Waksi sa katotohanan

Bigkas niyang magiliw

Sa tamis at pagkakakilanlan

ng lahi ng alipin

Ang lahi ng mga bayani,

Mga santo’t banal

Ang propeta’y bulaan…

Gobernadorcillo

Matters they gently offer

A child exhausted and gaunt

Inside a womb of her mother

Fetish abductive explorer

Mourner’s ill-reverence

Comedian and a hiker

Hitchhiker

Stupid actor

Respected senator

In that case

Or the other

No beast nor wild

Or either unkind

Them people worship

A hippie and his chick

With music loud and strong

Where a country belongs

Socially

Ecstatically

Gramatically

Un-happy

Possibly

The Purpleman

I live anywhere but here:

The sweetness of fragrance of lilac,

The stray colors of the sunrise,

The children that gasp the same fresh air,

And her grass blue as the skies.

They all share the same

strengths and weaknesses.

The tenderness of kisses

And the warmest of embraces;

I solely believe your words,

Soft and vulnerable;

Your eyes are fragile…

I break them not,

And your visions of our existence…

There is passion in your voice,

I care not about what they say, or do,

or not say or not do.

But lest we never meet,

I will perish like sands in your hands

Washed away by the tears of the Earth.

Nurtured by melancholy,

‘coz I lie here in cold,

Lest we never meet.

Let me picture your face,

Your smile,

your lips,

and your eyes.

Let me picture a poet that had never had a soul.

Let the words fly like the winds,

With no life and meaning,

With no passion.

Plant Proves Hawking

What if Robert Plant is a traveler of both time and space, for real? Shocking as it may seem, but I think he gave us hints in their song "Kashmir". Well that hippie-turned-icon is a real deal.

what a lucky texter I am

I just won an RJ Sunday Jam Shirt. Call me lucky yeah!

When Deleting Songs In Your iPod Gets Seriously Depressing

You have tons of music in your desktop to transfer to your iPod. You want 'em all. But your iPod only has 16GB of effin' memory. Now watcha gonna do? You delete songs like you delete your children. It's effin' hard, it's impossible. :|
