𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗡 | Panata ng 'Di Makabayan

Tahasan akong magmamalabis kung
ang kahulugan no'y paulit-ulit na pagpili sa iyo.
Kung sakaling hindi pa rin sumapat ay
ako ang aami't susukong baka nga madalas
ay nagtataksil sa kung ano't sino.

Habang buhay kong ibabaon sa limot
bawat pagmamakaawa kong mabuhay
kang muli kahit ako pa ang may sala sa pagpatay.
Baka sadyang hindi ko lang din talaga matanggap
kung paanong dumadalo rin ako sa iyong lamay.

Nawa'y patawarin mo ako sa bawat pagtalikod
at pagpili ko sa iyong pag-iral sa parehas na
pagkatataon.
Sa bawat hindi mawaring desisyo'y punyal din
ang siyang sa aking sarili'y ibinabaon.

Kasama ka ng pagtangan ko't pag-alala sa bawat
lenggwa ng pag-ibig sa dapit-hapon.
Pangako, sinubukan kong hindi maging banyaga
sa sarili nating nayon.

Kung hindi kita minahal, maging ito'y hirap akong sulatin. Sadyang pangahas lang ako para ibigin ka nang buo. Patawad.
