*tanzan Medalist Poem by Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan

Tanzan internationally known as bottle cap

bottle cap medal
not learned in class
even recognized
by trillion heroes passed

this valor and pride pendant
bought not out of fame
dedicated solely and nothing more
from my life appointed moral adviser
(maj. joe neils rojo, title of this poem is
truly inspired by him)

bottle cap medal
a rust free iron cast
engraved by invisible hand of honor
worn by visible toiling hand

this is not for tossing up flaming name
nor for prestige status upliftment

the bottle cap medal
is for everybody
a man who strive day by day battle
full of humility
as humble as the TANZAN

* tanzan should be treasured too
as it seals tightly the bottle to prevent early expiration
just to quench thirsty throat
same in the battle field of life, the labor hand
the blue collar jobs, the farmers
that most of us taken for granted
nevertheless, they are the true
backbone of our economy
