Criccel Manzano with Nel Versoza. - An Assignment

You Gave Us The Hope
(A song for Dr. Jose Rizal) Tune: Lead Me to the Cross

I.
Hero you came
Patient and brave
Remember
To our Mother Land
Where your blood was spilled
For our freedom

Bridge:
Everything you sacrifice
We're thankful for all those

Chorus:
You gave us the hope
Where your love poured out
Bring us to the life
That you want for us
Rid us through yourself
We Filipinos
You gave.... You gave us the hope

II.
Use your writings
To spread the evil
Doings
The world became harsh
Born man and was dead
You're remembered

(Repeat bridge and chorus)

21ST CENTURY LITERATURE FROM THE PHILIPPINES

READING POEM

THIRD WORLD GEOGRAPHY by Cirilo F. Bautista (Manila) – National Artist

•A country without miracles

•Sits heavy on the map,

•Thinking of banana trees rotting

•In the sunlight.

•The man who watches over it

•Has commandeered all hopes,

•Placed them in a sack,

•And tied its loose end.

•He goes around carrying it

•On his back.

•When asked what is inside,

•He say, “Just a handful of feathers,

•Just a handful of feathers.”

That’s how light the burden

Of government is in peace time –

Any tyrant can turn it into a metaphor.

You kneel on the parched earth

And pray for rice.

Only the wind

Hears your useless words.

The country without miracles

Tries to get up from the page,

But the bold ink and sharp colors

Hold it down.
