A Letter to the Struggling Filipino Youth
Out here in the semi-dessert semi-paradise
I’ve been thinking about my fellow youth
Fresh from campus and a new surprise.
Suddenly we had to be men and women
In the crossroads of the need to survive
And the youthful nature to be alive.
Brings to mind a quote and a name
“Everyday seems to be the same”
But Andres Bonifacio does not agree
He said we had to stand up and see
Life as it is and that we are not truely free.
He was a youthful leader by example
His thoughts and actions were simple
Let us be free men for men are free
Men and women are the same
Let us join our hearts and minds
And together let us struggle to be truely free!
