RANDOM #112

“The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.” Harriet Beecher Stowe

words are useless
even if there’s an urgency
guilt’s more of an expression
to show some sense of decency

time not well spent
is  clothed by an excuse
a realization comes in late
after hearing the final news

tears maybe comforting
but they won’t erase the past
our conscience will jog our memory
of the most precious thing they asked

what’s the use of a remark
what’s the worth of our prayer
when it’s time to go for someone
and you have no time to spare

BUGBUGAN (to the tune of BAGSAKAN)

Yung hindi mag like sa post ko, mamili kayo bugbog o dignidad, bibigyan ko kayo ng 5 seconds, 5,4,3,2,1 joke lang hehe. Sharing yung short version ko nung popular na BAGSAKAN nila Chito, Francis M at Gloc 9.

Nandito na si JM
Isa siyang atenista
Nandito rin ang tropa
Nandito ang barkada
Nandito na ang target
Pati ang mag vivideo
Magbubugbugan dito in 5,4,3,2

Nandito na si JM
Isa siyang atenista
Nandito rin ang tropa
Nandito ang barkada
Nandito na ang target
Pati ang mag vivideo
Magbubugbugan dito
Mauuna si JO MO!

Alam na alam ko kung bakit ako kasama rito
Sama-sama sa pambubugbog at pananapak
Astig, patindihan ng kicks
Teka muna teka lang may pasabog ang bibig
Shift sa 45 para mapatumba
Dapat sakto para tama ay maganda
At malakas bawat bigwas
At astig na baka sakaling mahindik ang
Milyon milyong Pilipino na makapanood sa video ko
Nagugulat ako sa mga nagaganap
Ngayon alam ko na kung bakit ako ngayo’y sikat
Para bang panaginip ngayo’y daming galit
Hindi ko na masulit ang pagiging mabagsik
Kailangan may dahilan, di ko kayang tapatan ang hamunan ng
Mga may kakayahang lumaban
Damn! Wala ngayong masabi
Nauubos unti unti ang aking mga kakampi
Balak na lang itanggi ang mali
Ngunit ang karma ang bilis magsukli

Nandito na si JM

Isa siyang atenista

Nandito rin ang tropa

Nandito ang barkada

Nandito na ang target

Pati ang mag vivideo

Magbubugbugan dito

Mauuna si JO MO!

BREATHING SPACE

“Sometimes you just have to stop, take a deep breath and put things into perspective.” Katrina Mayer

I thought it was a perfect fit
the perspective was so ideal
promising from a distance
everything seems true and real
but when I get closer and closer
something just doesn’t feel right
the outlook was an illusion
a trick’s hidden from my sight

a landscape is deceiving
the access is nothing but a trap
unmet expectations are tempting
the urge widens the inner gap
there are more questions
raised by endless comparisons
while the rat race goes on
i’m running out of reasons

I don’t know if I’m seeing it right
or complacency has overtaken me
the appetite’s no longer there
to obtain a privileged degree
I know the race isn’t finished yet
that’s something I have to face
mediocrity isn’t my comfort zone
but I need a breathing space
