I

Sa isang linggo na lumipas
Pagkatapos ng bagyong malakas
Na buhay at ikinabubuhay ay nilagas
Pati ari-arian ay nilimas.

II

Lahat ng tao ay nagulo
Nang dumaan ang delubyo
At dahil sa nangyaring ito
Bayanihan ay makikita mo.

BABANGON MULI
ni Sarah Indemne

I

Ika'y iniwan ng walang dahilan
Ngayo'y nag-iisa't walang masandalan
Hindi alam kung anong naging kasalanan
Upang kanilang tratuhin ng walang pakundangan.

II

Walang ibang nagawa kundi lumayo't lumimot
Kinalimutan lahat ang nararamdamang poot
Pinagpatuloy ang buhay ng may pag-asang darating
Sa buhay mo'y may darating din na pag-ibig.

ITO ANG ATING KABATAAN
ni Ezra Thess Guevarra

I

Madaling magtiwala,
Madali rin mawalan ng tiwala.
Sa miminsang sila'y masaktan,
Tila dala-dala hanggang sa walang hanggan.

II

Ang iba'y minsa'y nawawalan ng gana mag-aral.
Ang nasa isip kasi ay kasiyahan
Sa huli nama'y maiintindihan,
Ano ang halaga ng pag-aaral.

III

Ang iba'y minsa'y nangungupit,
Ginagamit lang naman pang-gimik.
Maiisip lamang ang halaga ng pera,
Kapag nakita ang paghihirap ng magulang.

IV

Ang iba'y ayaw magmana,
Kung negosyo'y mala-karinderya.
Mapaghangad ng mataas,
Bagama't kulang sa pagsisikap.

GINTONG PANGARAP

I

Sa pag-aaral, magsusumikap.
Magtitiyaga kahit mahirap.
Karunungan ay hinahanap
Upang tagumpay maging ganap.

Falling Apart

I

I've given away my heart,
So it could be torn into pieces,
He left me with the feelings of betrayal and being forgotten.

II

I'm so in love, yet so alone,
with two years thrown away.
Feeling his absence hurts the most.
My constant urge to call is almost taking over.

FALLING APART
ni Ruby Ann Q. Gonzales

III

While on the other side,
my cycle of feelings starts with rage.
Slowly going into sadness, rage again, desperation, devastation, and finally denial.
Every morning I open my eyes to emptiness,
Seeing a long black hallway
with nothing in between.

While Waiting

I

Like the flowers in spring,
Like the lady's new engagement ring,
Like a baby smiling,
Meeting you gave my life a new meaning.

II

Like a forest fire on a cloudy night,
Like a balloon floating so light,
Like an ice cream truck bringing delight,
Our love was an obvious sight.

III

Like a candy taken from a toddler,
Like having a pen yet no paper,
Like wanting to swim where there's no river,
Sadness came; am I gonna lose you forever?

IV

Like the refreshments on a warm day,
Like the good news after much dismay,
Like a rainbow on a Saturday,
Gladness popped in with no delay.
