*see The World Free, Come Join With Me Poem by Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan

I explored the Pacific Ocean at the age of twenty
met the bubbling ' ring of fire ' beneath

I visited Spratly Island somewhere in South China sea
to extend sovereign territorial integrity

A climb to Mt. Everest meant a lot to me
slept with glacier bears seen in discovery TV

I voyaged to Panama canal encountered Somali pirates
felt with trembling guns in a dark numb sea

I took camel ride at Sahara desert
conquered oasis of excitement upon touching down abundant oil spring

I moved to Mexico and fear not the swine virus would revenge back on me
I loved to eat their siblings, its holy grails and pork barbecue

On the heart of Mandalay Bay, I cheered up as boxing fan
Manny! Pacman! Bax! Fight for our country's pride

So my youth was spent above my quilt pillow
I always dreamed to move as I learned to grow

And gazing at the star, sight-seeing with the sky
My first journey step to explore the world free!
