Masalay,Ampatuan,Maguindanao Malaparaiso ka kung tingnan Napapalibutan ng luntiang kabundukan Datapwat kabahagi ka rin Ng lupaing ninuno ng mga tribung Teduray-Lambangian Napakalawak ng abot ng paningin Habang nakatayo sayong bulubundukin Tila hinihele sa mapang-akit na sayaw ng mga talahib At malamig na samyo ng hangin- Subalit noong Nobyembre 23,2009 Pinunit ang iyong katahimikan- Ng mga hiyaw at palahaw ng pagsusumamo Ng ratatat ng mga makapangyarihan na armas Ng mga saksak na tumatagos sa malambot na laman Na hatid pawang walang kasintinding sakit At kamatayan Katawan dito. Katawan doon. Ng mga peryodista,brodkaster,mamahayag,abogado, ina,ama,asawa,kapatid at anak Walang awang pinagtatapon. Ibinaon. Karumal-dumal na krimen Pilit pinagtakpan Ng mga buwitreng Nag-aastang panginoon Kaya- Paano ko titingnan Ang iyong kabundukan Na hindi marinig alingawngaw Kanilang mga hiyaw? Paano maibalik Dating kata...

I was one of the impulsive ones, Yet, you managed to make us tow the line Through soft but firm reminders. Together we climbed mountains, Carefully threading treacherous trails. Crowing our triumphed upon reaching the top Though our happiness was short-lived, As we took the degradation around us. Some nights we would sat down in circle with others, Either sharing our poetry, Or simply basking in the glow Of the flickering bonfire And warmth of friendship With kindred souls gathered Under moonlit and starry skies Frolicking to the beat of “tam-tams” and “kubing” Which, even my timid self could not resist Far from our homes You introduced me To our many families In the midst of the poor, Who are far more richer in spirit They opened not only their homes But as well as their hearts In them, we found, ...
