Tyranny of false values
By Gonzalo Gonzales
I am the youth of the land
I am told that I am inconstant and frivolous
I am accused of being supercilious and cynical
that I do not have the right attitude
and since I do not have the right attitude,
my leaders tell me that they do not know where this country is headed for
that they wander with a gloomy sense of foreboding
What shall I do with this land?
When it is left to me as my heritage?
When it is willed to me as my own?
I am the youth of the land.
I am cynical.
I do not have the right attitude.
But looking around me, I see a wooden platform..
Gaily bedecked with red, white, and blue of my country
The band plays the national anthem
My heart swells with pride as do the hearts of the Filipino
shoving and crowding as far as the eye can see
The speaker rises-the tumult and clamor dies, he begins
"fellow countrymen, we should support militant filipinism, we should hold all things Filipino, we should patronize home industry"
I, the youth of the land, am impressed
I, the youth of the land, glow with patriotic fervor
I, the youth of the land, am convinced, almost.
For I, with irrepressible curiosity of the youth,
look up and see that the speaker is a filipino like myself
-more than that, he is my leader..
And he is wearing a hat from Italy, shirt from New York, trousers from the finest wool of England, shoes from Great Britain, Jewelry from France and perhaps, underwear from Japan?
I, the youth of the land, am disappointed
but my leaders say that I am cynical
and my leaders know whereof they speak..

that's all I've memorized, so far XD
