Philippines Poem by Marvin Brato Sr
Philippines
Philippine, my motherland!
how beautiful you are to know and see
in being a thousand islands to venture
landscapes quite panoramic beaches white
i adore being a Filipino born to live here
people so nice keep smiling amidst poverty
peace-loving, honest, caring and sincere
in a close family, ties are the legacy we have
never to abandon our culture as Filipinos
even when foreigners shall come to conquer
stand for sovereignty and never surrender.
A nice, patriotic poem. Liked it. 'people so nice keep smiling amidst poverty peace loving, honest, caring and sincere' - Yes, I found these qualities in the Phillipno people a lot more about 20 years back, than I find now. I think, like ours, your societies are also being corrupted by the presence of foreigners and corporate businesses.
