UNEMPLOYED GRADUATE

An unemployed graduate woke up one morning and checked his pocket. All he had left was $10. He decided to use it to buy food and then wait for death as he was too proud to go begging. He was frustrated as he could find no job, and nobody was ready to help him.

He bought food and as he sat down to eat, an old man and two little children came along and asked him to help them with food as they had not eaten for almost a week. He
looked at them. They were so lean that he could see their bones coming out. Their eyes had gone into the socket. With the last bit of compassion he had, he gave them the food. The old man and children prayed that God would bless and prosper him and then gave him a very old coin. The young graduate said to them 'you need the prayer more than I do'.

With no money, no job, no food, the young graduate went under the bridge to rest and wait for death. As he was about to sleep, he saw an old newspaper on the ground. He picked it up, and suddenly he saw an advertisement for people with old coins to come to a certain address.


He decided to go there with the old coin the old man gave him. On getting to the place, he gave the proprietor the coin. The proprietor screamed, brought out a big book and showed the young graduate a photograph. This same old coin was worth 3 million dollars. The young graduate was overjoyed as the proprietor gave him a bank draft for 3 million dollars within an hour. He collected the Bank Draft and went in search of the old man and little children.

By the time he got to where he left them eating, they had gone. He asked the owner of the canteen if he knew them. He said no but they left a note for you. He quickly opened the note thinking it would lead him to find them.

This is what the note said: 'You gave us your all and we have rewarded you back with the coin,' signed God 1 Kings 17:10-16; Matthew 11:28-30

The Affect Of Plastic Bags On Our Environment

It’s hard to say when we began to turn into obsessive consumers but nobody can doubt that we are just that. At least most of us! A direct result of this is heavy dependence on plastic bags. From USA to Africa, from Asia to Australia, everybody is guilty of using them at some point in their lives. What does this mean for the environment?

First of all, a plastic bag can take up to 500 years to break down and decompose. The irony here is that we usually use a bag just once and then toss it in the garbage. So it’s no surprise that the number of plastic bags used around the world in a day is tremendously high. A recent study estimates that in a year, as much as a trillion bags are consumed worldwide. This translates into considerable landfill and pollution. Not all bags end up in a landfill, however. Some enter rivers, sewers and even seas. They block waterways and drainages and create more pollution issues.

In the oceans, plastic bags float and mislead turtles and other marine animals that swallow them as food. Some marine biologists think that plastic bags seem like jellyfish, an appetizer, to some marine life. These bags can even drift far away into the doldrums, where many of the floating junk accumulates and may create new water pollution problems in the near future.

Plastic bags are thin and light which means they are easily carried by the wind. They are easily blown around and get caught on trees, littering gardens and parks. Not only is this unsightly but it can kill small animals such as insects and birds. Plastic bags seem harmless enough to an adult human but they can suffocate unsuspecting animals and even babies.

Can plastic bags be burnt and got rid of that way? It’s possible yes, but impractical because of the greenhouse gases that are emitted in the process. These gases play a direct role in global warming. In fact, even the production process of plastic bags releases such toxic gases that remain in the atmosphere for a considerable time.

So next time you pick up a plastic bag, thinking it’s so convenient, light and cheap, think again. The true cost of the plastic bag you are holding is staggering and the weight of this burden is shared by all of us.

How To Quit Smoking Forever Tips, Tricks And Advice

How many times have you attempted to stop smoking but have failed to do so? Yes I thought so – not good is it? No doubt – like many of the people who read this article I tried, and failed, numerous times to quit smoking before eventually managing to find a top quality stop smoking technique that worked for me.

I would manage to stop smoking for one week, two weeks and on one attempt even managed as many as three weeks before falling off the wagon, as they say or is this saying solely in relation to alcohol? Well who cares at the end of the day? I am sure you understand what I mean.

I would then have a voice in my head, what I call “my demons”, who would speak to me and would say something along the lines of:"You are doing really well, why don’t you have just
one cigarette for old times sake? You deserve it. It is only one, it does not mean that you are going back to become a fully fledged smoker.”

Now I have no idea why but for someone reason I would listen to this voice and would have that “one” cigarette. The problem being that one would lead to two and two would lead to three etc.So how did I eventually learn to stop smoking? Well a friend of mine, Tony, advised that I needed to focus on two things at the same time, not just quitting the fags. He stated that when you just concentrate on attempting to stop smoking your whole focus and thought process is always on “smoking”.

He suggested that I should attempt to lose weight at the same time, this way I could be battling two fronts at the same time and would be therefore not just solely thinking of cigarettes all of the time.

Is It God’s Will To Be Wealthy?

Attracting wealth has nothing to do with education, status, talent, environment, intellectual ability, physical prowess, or geography. ANYONE, regardless of their background or circumstances, can attract wealth into their lives.

For many years I separated wealth from the “Christian” lifestyle. Somehow I thought that living a godly life meant living a life without material wealth. It wasn’t until someone showed me in the Bible that it was the will of God for ALL of his children to be prosperous and healthy. There is nothing in the Bible that says we must live in poverty to be right with God. We are right with God because of the finished works of Jesus Christ.

In the Bible in John 10: 10, Jesus says, “I am come that you might have life and that you might have it MORE than abundant.” If Jesus spoke the truth then this life must be available for all those who are willing to believe it.

The Science Of Getting Rich By Wallace D. Wattles Published in 1910 has changed the lives of many people. The following is taken from chapter 1 of this timeless masterpiece.

“WHATEVER may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with.

Man's right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual, and physical unfoldment; or, in other words, his right to be rich. No man ought to be satisfied with a little if he is capable of using and enjoying more. The purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man should have all that can contribute to the power; elegance, beauty, and richness of life; to be content with less is sinful.

There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that desire is praise worthy. The man who does not desire to live more abundantly is abnormal, and so the man who does not desire to have money enough to buy all he wants is abnormal.

There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three -- body, mind, or soul -- can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression. It is not right or noble to live only for the soul and deny mind or body; and it is wrong to live for the intellect and deny body or soul.

Man cannot live fully in body without good food, comfortable clothing, and warm shelter; and without freedom from excessive toil. Rest and recreation are also necessary to his physical life. He cannot live fully in mind without books and time to study them, without opportunity for travel and observation, or without intellectual companionship.

To live fully in mind he must have intellectual recreations, and must surround himself with all the objects of art and beauty he is capable of using and appreciating. To live fully in soul, man must have love; and love is denied expression by poverty.

A man's highest happiness is found in the bestowal of benefits on those he loves; love finds its most natural and spontaneous expression in giving. The man who has nothing to give cannot fill his place as a husband or father, as a citizen, or as a man. It is in the use of material things that a man finds full life for his body, develops his mind, and unfolds his soul. It is therefore of supreme importance to him that he should be rich.

It is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich; if you are a normal man or woman you cannot help doing so. It is perfectly right that you should give your best attention to the Science of Getting Rich, for it is the noblest and most necessary of all studies. If you neglect this study, you are derelict in your duty to yourself, to God and humanity; for you can render to God and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself.”

The Science of Getting Rich is your key to the prosperity that is rightly yours. It will change your life. If you are willing to believe the words of Jesus Christ, you will discover an exciting new reality. You can learn the fundamental principles of wealth creation and life success.

Noise Pollution Is The Real Poison Of Our Planet

Even if the title is deliberately forced and in an opposite trend, noise pollution is for real one of the greatest trouble of modern civilization. In fact, the actual society ferment foresees always open construction sites, airports with more and more traffic, crowded nightclubs and overall an increasing heavy industrialization, all these phenomenon put under big pressure the eardrums of almost 50 million people just in Italy (source: World Health Organization).

How is it possible to reduce this kind of pollution? Very often to solve this problem committees dedicated to this problem arise in every city, but unfortunately regulations and legislation in this sector are still undeveloped and the various interpretations are very different from one another.

But what does it practically mean noise pollution and what are the complications that it can cause to the human body?

To this purpose, this kind of pollution can easily be compared to the most classical spoil of the urban and natural habitat by mankind and by his efforts in modifying the natural environment he lives in. When the damage is caused by a protracted and excessive exposition to high intensity noises, the pollution threshold level is of course surpassed.

Every time the pollution threshold level is surpassed, the noise can generate some very serious physical and mental problems such as: deafness and other auditory illnesses, but also the stress level grows and by consequence also the hypertension.

As we said before, noise pollution is mainly caused by construction sites, airports, traffic and air traffic, but also and in particular by factories. This is just why all these activities have always been decentralized from the rural life and located at the city boundaries. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately, it depends from which side you are looking at this trouble, population keeps increasing in number but without any kind of structured development. This would require some kind of territorial and spatial development plan for the city that also lacks natural resources. These two problems summoned together lead up to the maximum exploitation of the areas surrounding these noise sources (and so also pollution sources). The main causes of noise pollution in Italy are construction sites, airports, traffic and factories.

It is just keeping in mind this last and fundamental detail that we all need to work together in order to limit at most every type of high intensity noise emission. This can be possible just investing on the research and development sector and equipping heavy industry factories, for example, with soundproofing cabins where machines that utter strong noises can be all contained.

Also some kind of air treatment turn out to be fundamental, because is a real natural soundproofing system, for all these reasons it is very important to study and project the best possible air treating systems in order to silently convey air fluxes and this way exploit every isolating characteristics of this natural elements.

It is also fundamental, then, for every enterprise and civil house, the use of soundproof materials to apply on houses and factories’ walls, this allows the external noise not coming into our houses and in the meanwhile limiting the emissions outside of the domestic or industrial noise pollution.

Garbage In Its Place

There is nothing worse than seeing garbage blowing down the street of your neighborhood, or finding broken shards of glass at the local swimming hole where children play.

Wildlife is just as vulnerable to garbage and many have lost their lives after becoming tangled in waste or mistaking garbage for food. It is up to each of us to make an effort to minimize this unsightly, and sometimes hazardous, problem.Animals, wind and traffic breezes put legs to loose garbage and are able to distribute it great distances from the original source. The first thing that we can do to prevent this is to ensure trashcan and dumpster lids are secure. Metal and plastic trashcans are more preventative than bags - leaving a bag out over night or even for several hours, is an enticing invitation for stray animals to wreak havoc. When taking a load to the dump, be sure that it is securely covered by tightly tying a tarp over the load with some rope or bungee cords.

Carry plastic shopping bags on your walks to clean up litter that you find along the way. Often, people are rewarded for their efforts by the deposits returned from bottles and cans. Those who have noticed your efforts will begin taking up the same habit once they realize the impact it has.
Report any dumping you witness, whether it was done illegally or accidentally - just get the license number and leave the rest to the officials. Also, report any site where garbage has been left by others. These problems can be reported to the local city, highway, public works or conservation office. Ask them to arrange for it to be cleaned up.

By doing these relatively small actions, we prevent contamination and injuries to people or wildlife in the area. When separating recyclable items, we keep a valuable resource out of the landfill. In addition, we maintain a pristine environment for citizens, tourists and wildlife to enjoy. We can all take pride knowing that by keeping garbage in its place, we are making the world just a little better for everyone.

SAPATOS













Ni: Arvin U. de la Peña
Madalas sa kanilang paaralan ay pagtawanan si Cedric. Siya ang madalas punahin ng kanyang mga kaklase. Iyon ay dahil sa kanyang suot na sapatos. Paano kasi ang sapatos niya ang nabubukod tangi sa iba. Bukod sa ito ay luma na ay ito pa ang sapatos ng kanyang tatay noon. Bukod na malaki sa kanya ng konti ay halata na kupas na talaga ang sapatos niya. Gustuhin man niya na magpabili ng bagong sapatos ay wala silang pera para sa sapatos. Palibhasa ay 4th year high school na at siya ang panganay na anak ay madalas sabihin niya sa sarili na matatapos na rin ang pagsusuot niya ng lumang sapatos dahil hindi na siya kaya pang papag-aralin ng kanyang mga magulang sa kolehiyo.

Mabait at masipag si Cedric na estudyante sa paaralan. Isa siyang working student. Siya lagi ang huling umuuwi na mag-aaral dahil sa marami pa siyang ginagawa pagkatapos ng klase. Minsan habang kausap niya ang kaklase na si Tessie sa may canteen habang recess bigla ay sinigawan siya ng kanyang mga mapagbirong classmate ng "Cedric ang sapatos mo ay palitan mo na." Agad ay napatingin si Tessie sa suot na sapatos ni Cedric at agad ay napatawa si Tessie. Akala agad ni Cedric ay minaliit ni Tessie ang sapatos niya. Nagulat siya ng magsalita si Tessie sa kanya ng " huwag mo na lang sila papansinin. Gawin mong inspirasyon ang sapatos mo para ikaw ay magtagumpay sa buhay." Naantig ang puso ni Cedric sa sinabi na iyon ni Tessie. Gusto niya itong yakapin pero di niya magawa. Sinabihan na lang niya si Tessie ng "maraming salamat."

Pag-uwi ni Cedric sa kanilang bahay ay dala-dala pa rin niya sa isip ang sinabi ng kaibingan niyang si Tessie. Tiningnan niya ang kanyang mga magulang, mga kapatid, at ang bahay nila. Nasabi niya agad sa sarili na sana nga magtagumpay siya para naman umangat ang buhay nila.

Habang papalapit na ang graduation ay lalong nagiging excited si Cedric. Iyon ay dahil pipilitin niya na makapag-aral siya sa kolehiyo. Sa isip niya ay kung nagawa niya na maging isang working student sa high school ay magagawa niya rin iyon sa college. Para naman kahit paano ay makapag-aral siya sa kolehiyo na hindi nagawa ng mga magulang niya. Sa isip rin niya na kapag siya ay nagtagumpay ay papag-aralin din niya ang apat pa niyang kapatid.

Lalong napalapit sa isa't-isa sina Cedric at Tessie. Madalas na silang magkasama. Ang iba nga niyang mga kamag-aral ay naiinggit sa kanya dahil bakit daw ang mayaman na si Tessie ay napalapit ang loob kay Cedric na isang mahirap lang. At muli kapag napapadaan o nadaraanan sila ng mga kaklase niyang mapagbiro ay pinaparinggan agad siya na magpalit na nga sapatos.

Isang araw bago ang graduation ay pinuntahan si Cedric ni Tessie sa bahay nila. Nag-usap sila ng masinsinan. Naging seryoso ang kanilang pag-uusap. Halos mapaluha si Cedric ng sabihin ni Tessie na pagkatapos ng graduation ay pupunta na siya sa Amerika at doon na papag-aralin ng mga magulang niya at doon na rin daw siguro titira. Mamimiss daw niya si Cedric at muli ay sinabihan siya na gawing inspirasyon ang sapatos para sa pagtatagumpay. Nang aalis na si Tessie ay sinabihan niya ito ng " I Love You" na agad ikinatawa ni Tessie at saka umalis na.

Araw ng graduation ay kita ni Cedric na halos lahat ay bago ang suot na mga sapatos ng mga kasabay niyang gragraduate. Lahat ay makikintab bukod sa sapatos niya. Pansin niya na ang sapatos lang talaga niya ang luma. Gusto niyang mapaluha na kahit sa graduation na pinakahihintay ng lahat na mag-aaral ay ganun pa rin ang sapatos niya pero hindi niya magawa. Wala rin siyang karapatan na pilitin masyado ang mga magulang niya na bumili ng bagong sapatos sa araw ng graduation dahil wala talagang pambili.

Nang isa-isahin na ang pagtawag sa pangalan ng gragraduate ay lalong na excited si Cedric. Lalo na ng tawagin na ang pangalan niya. Paghawak niya ng diploma agad ay napalingon siya sa mga kaklase niya lalong-lalo na kay Tessie.

Pagkalipas ng ilang araw at ng makuha na ang mga dapat na kunin sa paaralan para gamitin pag enroll sa college ay agad napaluwas ng Manila si Cedric sa tulong ng kanyang tiyuhin.. Doon ay nagtrabaho muna si Cedric ng dalawang taon sa isang kompanya at pagkatapos ay nakapag-aral na siya sa isang unibersidad bilang isang working student sa kursong civil engineering. Muli habang siya ay nag-aaral ay ang lumang sapatos pa rin ang kanyang suot. Nasanay na kasi siya na iyon lagi ang isuot kapag nag-aaral.

Madaling lumipas ang apat na taon. Nang maging ganap ng engineer si Cedric agad ay nakapagtrabaho siya sa isang construction firn. Nagpapadala na lang siya ng pera para sa mga magulang niya at mga kapatid na nag-aaral. Dahil maabilidad at magaling dumiskarte si Cedric unti-unti ay nagkaroon siya ng sarili niyang construction firm. Tinawag niya itong SAPATOS CONSTRUCTION FIRM na naging sikat naman at marami ang kumukuha para magpagawa ng kung ano.

After 12 years, class reunion nila ay umuwi si Cedric na dala ang napakaraming sapatos para ibigay sa kanyang mga naging kaklase. Hinangaan siya sa pagtagumpay nito sa buhay. At ng tinanong siya kung bakit namigay ng mga sapatos ay sinabi niya na ang sapatos na suot-suot niya noong nag-aaral pa ng high school ang naging inspirasyon niya sa paalala na rin ni Tessie. Napagtatawanan na lang nila ang mga dating pagbibiro noong high school days pa nila.

Habang sila ay nagkakasiyahan at nag-iinuman bigla ay may pumarada na isang magarang kotse. Pagbukas ng pinto agad ay nakilala nila si Tessie na 12 years ring hindi sumali sa class reunion nila. Doon ay kinumusta nila agad si Tessie. Gayundin si Tessie ay kinumusta ang mga ka batch niya sa high school. Pagtingin ni Tessie kay Cedric agad ay binati niya ito sa pagkakaroon ng SAPATOS CONSTRUCTION FIRM.

Habang tumatagal ang kasiyahan at ang iba ay mga lasing na agad ay nakiusap si Cedric kay Tessie na mag-usap sila na malayo ng kaunti sa mga ka batch nila para hindi marinig ang pag-uusap nila. At pinagbigyan naman siya ni Tessie. Nagkuwento sila sa isa't-isa sa pangyayari sa buhay sa loob ng 12 years. Pinasalamatan ni Cedric si Tessie sa sinabi nito noon na gawing inspirasyon ang sapatos para magtagumpay dahil iyon ay ginawa niya talaga.

At ng aalis na si Tessie para pumunta sa mga ka batch niya ng bigla ay hawakan siya ni Cedric sa balikat at sinabihan si Tessie ng "I LOVE YOU" na agad ay sinagot ni Tessie ng "kailan mo ako pakakasalan."

Hindi nila mapigilan ang sarili na hindi tumawa sa isa't-isa.

Fire Extinguishers – Types And Uses

Mankind discovered fire in prehistoric times. Some say that man's discovery of fire, and how to use it, is the root of all man's inventions and innovations. But even until today, man cannot fully control fire. Fires are common calamities that happen all over the world. Fires can cause damage to property, as well as cause injuries and even deaths.


Traditionally, water is used to put out fires. Unfortunately, water is unsuitable for some types of fires. Oil floats on water, so oil fires cannot be effectively controlled with water. Water conducts electricity, thus water is a dangerous choice when dealing with electrical fires. The search for safe and effective methods of extinguishing fires has led to the invention of fire extinguisher.

Extinguishers are devices used to extinguish or control small fires. They are not designed to be used for fighting out-of-control fires, like when the fire reaches the ceiling – in cases like this; it should be left to the firefighters. Fire extinguishers are metal cylinders with nozzles, and inside is some kind of fire-extinguishing substance and air under pressure. Many extinguishers are small and light enough to be used by one person. However, larger models are mounted on carts for ease of transport.

Not all extinguishers are suitable for all fires. This is because of the kind of substance contained. As such, extinguishers are given marks to identify what type of fire theyare useful against. It is important to know these marks, and know the types of extinguishers that you have on hand.

The first type of fire in the American system is called Class A. These are ordinary combustible fires – paper, plastic, wood, and rubber fires fall under this category. Class A fire extinguishers are marked with a green triangle with a capital letter A. The pictogram for Class A fires is a garbage can and a wood pile burning.

The second type of fire is called Class B. Flammable liquids and gases, like gasoline and hydrogen, are Class B combustibles. They are marked with a red square with a capital letter B. Its pictogram is a fuel container and a burning puddle.

Class C fires are fires that involve energized electrical equipment. These have a blue circle with a capital letter C. The pictogram associated with this class is a garbage can and a wood pile burning.

Class D fire extinguisher is designed for fighting combustible metal fires. Combustible metals include sodium, titanium, magnesium, potassium, steel, calcium, uranium, lithium, and plutonium. These fires are dangerous, as many people are unaware of how to fight them properly. Class D is marked with a yellow star with a capital letter D, and has a pictogram of a burning gear and bearing.

Lastly, Class E fires are related to cooking oils and fats. These kinds of fires commonly occur in homes and restaurants. Class E extinguishers are identified by a black hexagon (six-sided shape) with a capital letter E. A pictogram of a frying pan on fire may be found.

Remember that if a pictogram has a red slash across it, the fire extinguisher is not suitable for it. Using the wrong type of extinguisher can be hazardous, so make sure you know beforehand. As a piece of advice in parting, when the fire gets too big, call the fire department! They are professionals, and are trained to deal with fires. Keep safe, and be prepared.

BASURA SA LANSANGAN












Ni: Arvin U. de la Peña

Napakahirap ng buhay ko. Marahil ay basura sa lipunan kung tawagin. Naglalakad at palabuy-laboy sa kalye na walang patutunguhan. Pumupunta ako sa mga basurahan para mamulot ng puwede makain o kaya namumulot ng puwede na maibenta ng magkaroon naman ako ng pera.


Minsan naman ay umuupo ako sa lansangan para manghingi ng pera sa mga nagdaraan na tao. Araw-araw ay iyon ang buhay ko. Wala akong permamenteng tirahan at matutulugan. Gustuhin ko man na baguhin ang buhay ko ay wala akong magawa. Dahil ito ang kinagisnan kong buhay. Namulat ako at nagkaisip na ganito na ang buhay ko. Tandang-tanda ko pa na noon ay karga-karga pa ako ng aking mga magulang habang sila ay namamalimos.

Sa buhay ko na ito ay di ko maiwasan ang di mainggit sa kapwa. Masaya at maayos ang buhay nila kumpara sa akin. Tuloy natatanong ko minsan sa sarili na bakit hindi pantay-pantay ang buhay ng tao. May mayaman at may mahirap. Mayroon naman maayos ang kalagayan sa buhay at hindi. Napakaraming bakit ang tanong ko sa sarili na hindi pa nahahanapan ng kasagutan.

Sa patuloy ko na pakikipagsapalaran sa buhay na ito ay masasabi ko na napag-iiwanan talaga ako ng panahon. Lalong naiiwanan sa mga makabagong teknolohiya. Hanggang tingin lang ako sa tinatawag na cellphone o kung ano pa. Kailanman ay di pa ako nakakahawak ng ganun na bagay. Napakahirap talaga sa akin ang magkaroon ng pera. Di katulad ng iba na madali lang.

Minsan naiisip ko na wakasan na lang ang buhay ko. Para matapos na ang paghihirap ko. Pero natatakot akong gawin iyon. Naduduwag ako na wakasan ang buhay ko samantalang di ako naduduwag na marumi, naglalakad sa kalye at nanghihingi ng pera. At kapag gabi na ay madalas pumapatak ang luha sa aking mga mata kung bakit naging ganit ako. Lalo na kung sa araw na iyon ay kaunti lang ang nakain ko.

Kahit ako ay ganito ay umaasa pa rin ako na darating ang araw na mag-iiba na ang takbo ng buhay ko. Matutupad ang pangarap ko na makaahon sa mundo kong kinagisnan. Dahil habang may buhay ay may pag-asa. Iyon lagi ang nasa isip ko. Kung kailan darating iyon ay hindi ko alam. Basta ang mahalaga sa ngayon ako ay nabubuhay.

Marahil ay nakita at nadaanan niyo na ako sa lansangan.

BABOY










Ni: Arvin U. de la Peña

Napakatakaw mo para kang baboy
Gusto mo ikaw lagi ang nakaupo
Sa posisyon na tinakbuhan mo at nanalo ka
Para lalo kang pang makapangurakot.

Masama ka talaga na tao
Sinira mo pa pangako sa iyong nasasakupan
Mga proyekto na para sa mga kababayan
Ibinulsa mo lang ang pondo.

Mukha ka talagang baboy
Di ka takot sa pag-apak sa iyong dumi
Basta may pagkakakitaan ka
Ginagamit mo ang iyong kapangyarihan.

Kapag tapos na ang iyong termino
Ay bababa ka ng posisyon
Para sa susunod na halalan
Ay maaari ka na uli tumakbo sa nais mo.

Baboy ka, baboy ka talaga
Lahat gusto mo na sa iyo
Ayaw mo na may nakikihati
Sa pansarili mong interes.

TAONG GRASA




















Ni: Arvin U. de la Peña

Naglalakad ako walang direksyon
Tumatawa ako sa inyo
Umaasa na papansinin
Nanghihingi ako para may makain.

Napakabaho ko na sa inyo
Halos takpan ang ilong niyo
Kapag ako ay nadadaanan niyo
Wala kasi akong maliguan.

Wala na talaga akong silbi
Alam ko iyon ang nasa isip niyo
Dahil ako ay isa ng basura
Basurang naglalakad sa lipunan.

Taong grasa ako alam ko
Hindi ako katulad niyo
Ang buhay niyo ibang-iba sa akin
Ako ay ito ang aking mundo.
