EVERYDAY

Everyday, different people we meet,
maybe friendly, stubborn or stringent.
They’re maybe real or just a player,
a pretentious one or just a seer.

Everyday, life changes in just a snap,
so quick like a conjurer’s clap.
Changes that we do not expect,
and cannot do otherwise but to accept,

Everyday, people seems to be in a trance,
hoping, seeking, finding for a chance,
a chance to make ones life evicted,
from a society of corruption and greed.

Everyday, is a customary cycle,
like yesterday that we can recall,
and to bring forth and evaluate,
in the future will serve as admonishment.

Everyday, we could meet anyone,
but it’s not everyday that we meet The One,
who could fulfill and make our life happy,
and would touch our hearts in every way.

Once In Our Life

Once in our life, we felt

That we are on the top of the world

That we can do anything and everything

A superior feeling we can’t explain

Once in our life, we knew

That we have done something,

Something that is downbeat

Unpredicted or quite off-beat

Once in our life, we have lied

Work against or conspired

Unknowingly steal or cheated

With petty crime committed

Once in our life, we might have met

A scornful individual or

A very crooked public official

Mind you, it’s not unusual

A lot of things to show and recite

Lots of occurrences been familiarized

Laugh with it, cry with it

Change, you can be a catalyst 

Pagbabago

Paano ba ginagawa ang pagbabago?

Ito ba ay napakamahal at maluho?

Maaring simple o kumplikado.

Napupulot o madaling masalo.

Sa umaga, sa pagmulat ng iyong mga mata,

Ang pagbabago ba ay kaagad nakukuha?

Animo tubig na hinihilamos sa mukha,

At kapagdaka’y pupunasan ng tuwalya.

Ito ba ay parang dumi lamang sa katawan-

Na nakukuha sa isang paligo lamang?

Ito ba ay parang natuyong pawis din lang-

Na sa basang bimpo ay maaring punasan?

Ito ba ay parang pagkain sa mesa -

Na napipili kung alin ang malasa?

Na kung mainit ay maaring iluwa,

Naiisantabi kung maanghang o mapakla.

Ang pagbabago ba ay katulad ng larawan-

Na madaling i-like ng mga kaibigan?

O profile picture na madaling palitan,

Dahil maraming pose ang pagpipilian.

Ito ba ay maihahalintulad sa isang byahe

Na maari kang mamili kung taxi o dyipni

Katulad ng upuan sa dyipni na napipili,

Subalit hindi ang uupo sa iyong tabi.

Mahirap bang gawin ang pagbabago-

O madali lamang kung iyong isapuso?

Anuman ang ayaw o ninanais mo,

Sana ito’y positibong pagbabago.
