FREEDOM
BY F.P.BORJA JR.
ETCHED IN THE MEMORY OF TIME
WILLED BY THE POWER OF GREAT MEN
FLAG WAVED IN THE AIR OF THE LAND
FREEDOM IS THE BREATH AND LIFE OF EVERY MAN
WHEN CURTAILED BY A TYRANT
A VOICE OF OUTRAGE IS HEARD AT A DISTANCE
AND INDIGNANT PROTEST SPARKS
UNTIL A REVOLUTION SCATTERS AGAINST
THE TYRANICAL KINGDOM
IT CEASE UNTIL ONLY FREEDOM IS RESTORED
THIS IS HOW FREEDOM IS TREASURED
IN EVERY HEART OF A MAN.
AS THOUGH THERE IS NO LONGER ANOTHER
OPTION TO LIVE WITHOUT IT.

LOVE
BY F.P.BORJA JR.
OBLIGED BY THE OMNIPOTENCE WE
MUST LOVE ONE ANOTHER
IT IS THE MOST POWERFUL
FORCE THAT BINDS US TOGETHER.
IT IS THE MOST ENDEARING FEELING
ONE HAS TO OFFER WITHOUT LOVE,
IT'S A MESS AND DISARRAY
THIS WORLD WOULD CRASH
AND WILL BE CURSED AFTERWARDS
IF WE WOULD NOT MANIFEST LOVE
WITH LOVE IT'S A TOTAL
OVERWHELMING GRACE AND FEELING
THAT IF MAINTAINED
A VOICE OF AN ANGEL CAN BE HEARD
FROM HEAVEN CALLING
THAT WE REMAIN THE SAME
THIS IS ONE THING WE NEVER
EXPERIENCED AND PUT INTO PRACTICE
OUR LOVE FOR OUR BROTHERS
THAT SHOULD NEVER CEASE
IF ONLY WE HAVE A HEART THAT WOULD CATER
FOR THE LESS PRIVILEGED,
THE POOR AND THE OPPRESSED
GOD WOULD BE SO HAPPY
AND WOULD FEEL GREAT.

MY GOD, OUR GOD
BY F.P.BORJA JR.
HE BRINGS ME HAPPINESS WHENEVER
WITH HIM IN THOUGHTS OR IN PRAYERS.
I CANNOT WITHSTAND THE JOY
AND INNER PEACE AM EXPERIENCING
WHENEVER PROVIDED BY THE EMPTINESS WITHIN.
GOD IS SO GOOD, ABSOLUTELY GOOD
DON'T DESPAIR WHENEVER THINGS SEEM UNWELL
FOR ITS PART BUT NOT FOR REAL
HE PROVIDES US EVERYTHING WE NEED
SO WHY COMPLAIN WHEN THERE IS LACKING
EVEN BIRDS DO NOT COMPLAIN
COZ HE PROVIDES THEM FOR THEIR LIVING,
THAT'S HOW GOD IS
HE ONLY WANTS US TO BE IN TOTAL SURRENDER
WHEN THERE'S A NEED
AND BE HUMBLE EVEN IN TEARS
HE WOULD BE SO HA PPY AND FEEL ELATED
IF WE WILL RETURN TO HIS FOLD
AND PROMISE NOT TO SIN AGAIN UNTIL WE GROW OLD

MY ONE AND ONLY FLOWER
by F.P. Borja Jr.
OH YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL, I KNOW
YOU'RE SO ENDOWED AND GIFTED
THAT GOD WASN'T SO SELFISH
I COULDN'T HELP BUT ADMIRE YOU
I KNOW MY FEELING IS REAL AND TRUE
BING IF ITS A MISTAKE BY LOVING YOU
I WOULD RATHER TAKE THIS CHANCE RATHER THAN
NOT TO NURTURE A FEELING FOR YOU.
I AM SO GLAD THAT I OFTEN SEE YOU
IN THE PLACE WHERE EVERYONE SEES YOU
WHEN IM WITH YOU
BUT IM SAYING THIS
BECAUSE I ALWAYS LONG FOR YOU
YOU ARE A BIT FAR FROM ME
AND IT IS THIS DISTANCE WHICH CRUCIFIES ME
THINKING THAT YOU ARE WITH SOMEBODY
WELL IM JEALOUS I KNOW BUT IT ONLY SHOWS
THAT MY FEELING IS AUTHENTIC AND TRUE
AT THIS JUNCTURE I OFTEN MEDITATE
AND IN RETROSPECT IT COMES TO MY MIND
THE QUESTION HOW CAN I HAVE YOU
SINCE YOUR FAR AND CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING
FROM YOU BUT I DO BELIEVE
IF REALLY IM FOR YOU AND YOU ARE FOR ME.
OUR PATH WOULD JUST CROSS
AND IT WOULD BE FINE.

PEACE
by F.P. Borja
WHERE IS PEACE NOWADAYS
THERE'S CHAOS NOT PEACE NOWADAYS
THE WORLD HAS LOST ITS GLORY
PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER CONTENDED
RATHER THEY FEEL SORRY
SO MUCH FEAR SOWED BY WAR a
AND OTHER TERRORISTS ACTS
THAT MEN AND ITS LEADERS COULD NOT STOP.
CALL FOR PEACE HAS BEEN
NEGLECTED AND IGNORED
RATHER A CONFRONTATIONAL
APPROACH IS PURSUED
AS OTHER WOULD SAY
THERE'S NO WINNER IN WAR
ONLY LOSERS.
AND YET
THERE ARE MANY WHO
ARE WAR SEEKERS NOT PEACE KEEPERS

AS I HAVE SEEN
by Francisco "Junior" P. Borja Jr.
OVER THE MOUNTAINS, ACROSS THE SEAS
ALONG THE FILTERING LEAVES
AND ALL OF THE TREES
THE SCENERY IS SO GOOD TO SEE
THE BREATH OF FRESH AIR
AND THE RUSTIC SOUND OF THE WIND
BLEND WITH THE MOVEMENT OF
THE UNFORESEEN THE CLOUD IS DARK
AND THERES NO SUNLIGHT
BUT I BELIEVE
THE SUN STILL SHINE AT THE BACK.
THE BIRDS WERE FLYING ACROSS THE SKY
BUT I WONDER HOW FAR THEY WOULD FLY
AS I STOOD ON THIS LATITUDE
THERE'S THIS EMPTINESS
I FELT AS I OBSERVED
THE VIEW AND THE BEAUTY OF NATURE.

To My Daughters
P.B.Robosa
Soon the day is gone
like any afternoons and sunsets
but the moon rises
like the sudden smiles on your faces
or hides as in your occasional frowns
or your freckles show likes stars
A large one here, a small one at the corner.
We looked up at them many times
on the cool evenings we had time to share.
Someday you will be away
but distance and time will not
separate us but only will make me
remember and will put a smile on
my face, that I once, to you,
was a sheltering sky
and once a navigator
pointing at the
morning star.
