Bente-Singko (Paskong Tula)

Ika bente-singko na naman ng Disyembre

Mangangaroling na naman kami sa kalye

Kaya naman ihanda na ang iyong sarili

Kasi andito na kaming mamaskong walang pili.

Lata, tambourine at iba't-ibang pang-caroling

Bato at Baso na may lamang limang piso

Sa bawat pagpadyak at bawat pagkanta

Malalaman niyo na kami ay masaya

Kaya naman. . .

Amin na ang pisong nasa iyong bulsa

At kung kami'y naka 25 pesos na

Wag kang mag-alala

Hahatiin namin itong magbabarkada

Pero sandali lang muna

May hamon ka ba diyan dala?

Kasi naman hindi lang gutom ang aming bulsa

Pati narin ang tiyan ni Botsoy na may luha na sa mata.

Subalit alam naming magpapasko na

Kaya naman, hindi na namin dadalasan itong aming pagkanta

Dahil alam namin na talagang napakahirap t'wina

Ang mamigay ng pera lalo't ika Bente-singko na

The Mood of Silence

I was trying to be out of great emptiness

But I don't know why I can't help myself to resist

With the mood of silence that passes into my veins

Lord really knows, that I have something in me that I truly cares.

Silence brings peacefulness to everyone

Silence could give you time where you can search for the lacking one

But if you are not used to this silence

Your heart and your mind seem to break into pieces

I was never like this before

Silence gives the happiness that I looking for

But when I see the real friends and people in my side

I can't help myself to keep my heart in a deep sight.

Yes! I was really wrong when I started to trust the silence

But if you are just alone and don't have any people whom you called friends
You would actually open your arms to the madness of silence
And wouldn't know the art of a true and real friends


I was totally out and being left in the dark
Silence and self-pettiness are coming into my lonely heart
I was trying my best to look for the light
And trying to break the silence that was covering my sight


Someone called me and  ask me to stay
I can't help my heart but to understand and accept what he says
Now, when he already found the real happiness in his heart
He now then left me and forget me on his part


Cry would not solve this problem of mine
And also, it will not let the silence the will rest into my mind
I don't know if I can now let this Silence come again into my system
But one thing for sure, this Silence will become my strength and not my weakness


Now, that I'm starting to break this Silence
I just want to be sure about the people in my surrounding
Thank you Lord for the gift that you gave me
And finally, let the mood of Silence be out and free. 

My Dream Girl

When I was in the terminal

I heard the music entitled “physical”

I smiled because I saw a girl that was fantastical

Because of her dress that was look so hysterical

I never thought that I will be get mesmerized to her

Just because the way she dress and the way she interfere

I promised myself the next time that I will saw her

I will do my best to take good care of her

For how many years had passed

I never saw the girl in my past

I was worried and wanted to meet her again

And hopefully gonna find and officially met her

I was searching in Facebook to maybe look on her picture

But sad to say, I couldn’t find any of her interesting delineation

Maybe somehow God will help me with her

And would find her and ask if I could make her as my girl

One day, when I was sitting in the park

I heard a dog that was really noisy of his bark

I was confused why does this dog barking?

Then I find out that he found something

When I actually pick that thing

I remember the girl of my dream

The girl that I wanted so bad

A girl that will not make me feel sad

I was turning my head looking if she’s here

Asking those little kids that was playing

Then someone call my name

And when I turn, it was my mom!

I was really mad to my mother

Because I will not see her again

Then I walked together with my mom

Because according to her she will have to acquaint me to someone.

When I got home

I went directly to my room

So feel mad at my mother

And don’t want to waste any time for my future lover

After 5 minutes of sobbing

I heard someone knocking

And when I open the door of my room

I saw a girl that was standing alone

It was her!

The girl that I search for a very long time

Now I’m sure that I’m in love

And want to marry her until the end of time

After all, it’s Christmas

People are buying foods because it’s Christmas

People are celebrating because it’s Christmas

People are singing because it’s Christmas

And people are exchanging gift because it’s Christmas

People are quite and kind because it’s Christmas

People are very generous because it’s Christmas

People are so helpful because it’s Christmas

And people are smiling because it’s Christmas

Christmas is everyone’s favourite

Christmas is everyone’s don’t want to forget

Christmas is everyone’s want to celebrate

And Christmas is everyone’s time to exchange gifts

There are people who don’t have a food even if it’s Christmas

There are people who suffer a lot even if it’s Christmas

There are people crying even if it’s Christmas

And there are people hurting each other even if it’s Christmas

Christmas is Christmas after all

This is the time of sharing and love if we sum up it all

There are heartaches and broken relationships that we may encounter

But we should not forget that Christmas is here that we must celebrate

For some, Christmas suck

And there are some who said, Christmas is just f**k

Whatever the words that they want to define

Christmas is coming and let our happiness and love be shine

Have a merry Christmas to all of youJ

A POEM FOR LIBYA

Libya was a part of African Country

Wherein it was located in the northern part of Egyptian community

It was then a silent city

But we were shocked of what is the news today.

Libya was now destructed by angry individual

Who wants to be free from the old precedential?

Many citizens have wasted their lives

Because of these non sense political rites.

Do the people saw what they are doing?

They don’t know that many are suffering

Because of the selfishness and hungry of the power

Many had cried and many did not survive

Love is the only thing they need

In order for the country to be developed and succeed

People should think of what are the beneficial to others

And stop this foolishness and start to hug one another

Now, Libya are starting to collapsed

Hopefully, one day, war will now be stopped

So that, children in the future will not be afraid

In continue to live in a life that was full of hope and love.

THE LAST TIME I SAW HER

The last time I saw her,

I can still see her beautiful smile.

The last I saw her,

She never had been out of my mind.

The last time I saw her,

I was mad because I forgot her name.

The last time I saw her,

I was mad because she forgets what was my name.

The last time I saw her,

She’s told me that she love me.

The last time I saw her

She gives me her hug and she cried at me.

The last time I saw her,

She was sitting at her balcony.

The last time I saw her,

She never had been stop in believing.

Until the last time I saw her

She holds my hand and say thank you for me

Because the last time I saw her

That was the last time she could spend her life living with me.

WHEN I SAY GOODBYE TO YOU

When I say goodbye to you

You never knew how hard to make it through

Loving someone like you

Is the happiest thing that I ever do?

When I say goodbye to you

My heart stop in beating so

You told me that I have to leave you

But what will I do if I still love you?

When I say goodbye to you

You told me that it’s hard for you

But why is it when I look at you

It seems that you’re happy to know that I will finally give up on you

I never see you for almost a year

Thank God, because I finally leave the tears

Now, I found the girl that I will love for the rest of my life

And hopefully, you found yourself in the midst of eternal life.

The Loving Son

You always told me that I’m stupid

And yet, I always look at it as something positive

You always told me that I’m nothing

And yet, I always think that it means nothing

You always make me cry

But because I love you, I just let it dry

You always shouting me

But because I love you, I never felt any pain for you

You always blame me of the negative things in your life

But because you’re my mother, I just ignore that

You always told me that I’m a son of a devil

But because you’re my mother, I just take it as something unreal

Now that you’re birthday is near to come

I want to leave you this poem that really get from the bottom of my heart

Now that you’re birthday is near to come

I want to leave you with a beautiful smile

Don’t think that the reason why I hang myself in the ceiling

Is because I’m already tired of caring for you

The reason why I choose to leave you

Is because I truly love you

Happy birthday mom

A POEM FOR JAPAN

Japan was in our history

Because of its power and nuclear factory

They have been the most advance country

Because of their equipment and intelligent society

Japan was famous of creating new gadgets

Like notebook, iPod, cell phone, and even the new tablet

But aside from the gadgets that they created

Their culture is also interesting, that’s why it is always promoted.

Japan was a beautiful country

They have beautiful ladies who have sexy body

Most of them are white and cutie

But the only problem is, they are always covered not even to see their bra and panty.

I’m just kidding on the previous paragraph

Just to make you smile, just like the power puff

But this time, I have to be serious

Because Japan is now suffering and that is not hilarious.

Let’s help them even without money

By our prayer, that hopefully they can recover someday

Because Japan was contributed a lot to our society

By its discoveries and gadgets that makes our life easy.

The Cold Christmas

I was dreaming of a white snow

Together with a cold blow

It was really a very beautiful night

With the stars the was really bright

I was thinking if Santa was really true

And waiting for him while it was raining a white snow

Maybe before the Christmas will finally come

I could see Santa bringing the gifts for everyone

It was 11:00 in the evening

But still, I couldn’t find Santa everywhere

Maybe he just wants me to be surprise

And be happy with the gift that I really desired

Christmas Eve is already here

I can hear choir singing and the bells that ringing

Maybe Santa will finally give me the gift

Or maybe he forgotten me because I’m a theft

Suddenly, I hear a voice laughing

I’m sure that Santa’s coming

I open my eyes and it was really true

That Santa is hear and he will carry me over with this cold snow

I was really happy when he carries me

But why is it I can see my body

And I ask Santa if I’m already dead

Then he answer me with full of sadness

I hen I hug him and say thank you to him

Because finally I already done with the life that I really suffer

Because I was then a poor boy sleeping in the street

And wishing that someday this will be the last cold Christmas that I feltL0

MY BESTFRIEND

By: Orlan Doromal Tabuada Jr.

He knows when I’m happy

And he knows when I’m lonely

He knows when I’m angry

And he knows when I’m naughty

He makes me feel happy

If he can see me so lonely

And he makes my day so naughty

If he can see me so angry

He never speaks to me when he knows I’m angry

And he never let me become naughty

If he knows that I’m lonely

He tried his best to bring out my happiness

Just to live the day with full of gladness

He never leave me into the mid of problems

And never treat me as one of his enemies

That’s why, now, I become so lonely

Because no one dares to make me happy

I missed the day that we are naughty

And missed his advice when I feel so angry

THE HOPELESS FATHER

By: Orlan Doromal Tabuada Jr.

Before, we are a happy family

But it was all lost, because of the tsunami

I thought it was just a small tragedy

But I was wrong, because it almost killed half of the community

During the earthquake and tsunami

I tried my best to keep my family in safety

I even sacrifice my own life

Just to protect them to make them survive

I ran to the kitchen to get my wife’s medicine

But I make sure that they are secured where I put them

But when I was about to go out

Our ceiling was collapsed and totally breaks out

Fortunately, I survive from the tsunami event

But sad to say, my family didn’t

I scream just to call their names

But no one answered me except from my fellow friends

After two days, I decided to find them again

I never let my hope to be erased until the end

Eventhough, many people would say “they are gone”

But I don’t want to quit, maybe I could find even one.

Then suddenly I saw a child

It reminds me of my family, hoping them to be alive

But what will I do if I saw them died?

Maybe I just sit down and cry for their lost live.

NO CRY, NO MORE!!

At first, she slaps my face

And then, she kicks my knees

Then next, she drags my arm

And kiss me warm

I push her away

Because my eyes are starting to gray

I can’t breathe! I told her

But she did not listen and continue what she’s doing

After she makes me free

I feel good and starting to feel glee

I talk to her with a full of kindness

But she responded me with full of sexiness and full of aggressiveness

I help her to find her cottage

Because she told me that she has something to say

I waited for almost fifteen minutes

But she did not show to me even a glimpse

I started to walk away

But she shouted me and she said that I will stay

I ask her what she want to me

She just told me that she needs somebody

She cried and cried at my shoulder

Then only I discover

She told me that she has a cancer

And she can’t tell her family because she is the bread winner

That’s why she decided to take her vacation alone

To have a peace of mind and to have a solemn vacation

I understand why she was drunk

And I understand why she was acts like a crank

After that night

I told her that she has a very good fight

A fight that she must face

Not just to her family but also to her self

I told her to stop crying

And start to open her mind to the new beginning

I wipe away the tears in her eyes

Then she smiles at me and told me that she will be okay.
