Itong Buhay
Itong buhay ng tao
Sa palad ng mundo
Ay puno ng kalupitan
At kabaligtaran
Ng mga kapalaran
Ng bawat isa sa atin
Walang may sala
Sa mga pagbabago
Sa laging nagbabago
Ng mga pangyayari
Ang makapangyarihan
Nahulog sa kanyang trono
Ang pulubi
Biglang napayaman
Kaya dapat
Huwag kang magmayabang
Sa mukha ng Panginoon
Dahil ang Kanyang galit
Ay papatungin ka
Buong buhay mo
At kung bulag ka
Sa Kanyang kapangyarihan
Ikaw ay mabibigla
Kapag malubha Niya itong papakita
Sa palad ng mundo
Ay puno ng kalupitan
At kabaligtaran
Ng mga kapalaran
Ng bawat isa sa atin
Walang may sala
Sa mga pagbabago
Sa laging nagbabago
Ng mga pangyayari
Ang makapangyarihan
Nahulog sa kanyang trono
Ang pulubi
Biglang napayaman
Kaya dapat
Huwag kang magmayabang
Sa mukha ng Panginoon
Dahil ang Kanyang galit
Ay papatungin ka
Buong buhay mo
At kung bulag ka
Sa Kanyang kapangyarihan
Ikaw ay mabibigla
Kapag malubha Niya itong papakita

I AM HERE
and I don't know
if to take a step back
or step forward
I sit in the middle
in the middle of a whirlwind
a hurricane of chaos
knowing not where to turn
forever lost, never found
I keep seeking
but in the seeking, I lose myself
instead of gaining more of me
but on the ground
was the switch
with one flick, this will cease
fear stops me
is order better than chaos?
I know not and it cripples me
trying to remember
the better times
then I hear a whisper
"Do not be afraid, child!
I am here!"

Untitled Tagalog Poem
nandito na ang kinabukasan
hakbangin mo ang bawat hakbang
'wag kang mangamba
heto na ang kamay ng Diyos
umaalalay sa 'yo
at di ka Niya pababayaan
English translation:
here is tomorrow
walk each step
don't worry
here is God's hand
aiding you
and He won't let you just be
hakbangin mo ang bawat hakbang

Watching the World
Sitting silently in a chair
Watching the world with an odd stare
My chair is delicate and fragile
I held it up for a while
Then a strong gust came through
I got whipped in a brew
The chair was ripped apart
The wind left me on a ledge
Very steep was the edge
I saw myself falling infinitely
The consequences deadly
I clung to the rocks tight
Feeling gravity's might
But did not see...
A few inches away
A grassy meadow lay
Fresh green blades swaying
Its safety calling
I cautiously crawled to it
And rested upon it
Breathing in relief
Sitting on the earth so stable
My mind was not capable
Of comprehending its strength
Nor its breadth or length
The now-broken chair a memory
A temporal former glory
Stupid was I to sit in it
Watching the world with an odd stare
My chair is delicate and fragile
I held it up for a while
Then a strong gust came through
I got whipped in a brew
The chair was ripped apart
The wind left me on a ledge
Very steep was the edge
I saw myself falling infinitely
The consequences deadly
I clung to the rocks tight
Feeling gravity's might
But did not see...
A few inches away
A grassy meadow lay
Fresh green blades swaying
Its safety calling
I cautiously crawled to it
And rested upon it
Breathing in relief
Sitting on the earth so stable
My mind was not capable
Of comprehending its strength
Nor its breadth or length
The now-broken chair a memory
A temporal former glory
Stupid was I to sit in it
