Ligaw na Pangarap

Sa Kamay ng Dios

ni Vhel Vergara
Mga kababayan, botohan na naman
Bagong mamumuno, ating ihahalal
Dito’y nakasalalay, ating Inang bayan
Pag asa ng bukas, pag asa ng mamamayan…
Ang ating pagboto, atin pong pagisipan

Ang atin pong desisyon, ang kanilang sandigan…
Huwag padadala, sa kinang ng pera
Huwag maiingganyo, sa laki ng halaga
Ang limang daang piso, [...]

Malayo sa panganib, madalang ang karahasan,
Tila imposible ng, maibalik ang nakaraan.
May mga nilalang, ang swete’y natural,
Kahit walang gawin, uma-angat [...]
