Marami ng buhay ang naibuwis.
Marami ng nagbago mula noong ipatupad ito.
Marami na ring takot na maipatupad itong muli.

Prometheus Unbound
Mars shall glow tonight
Artemis is out of sight.
Rust in the twilight sky
Colors a bloodshot eye,
Or shall I say that dust
Sunders the sleep of the just?
Artemis is out of sight.
Rust in the twilight sky
Colors a bloodshot eye,
Or shall I say that dust
Sunders the sleep of the just?
Hold fast to the gift of fire!
I am rage! I am wrath! I am ire!
The vulture sits on my rock,
Licks at the chains that mock
Emancipation's breath,
Reeks of death, death, death.
Death shall not unclench me.
I am earth, wind and sea!
Kisses bestow on the brave
That defy the damp of the grave.
And strike the chill hand of
Death, with the flaming sword of love.
Orion stirs. The vulture
Retreats from the hard, pure
Thrusts of the spark that burn,
Unbounds, departs, returns
To pluck out of deaths fist
A god who dared to resist.

Hindi man ako nabuhay noong panahon na nailathala ang tulang ito, batid ko naman ang gusto niyang ipahayag. Lalo na ang bawat unang letrang nagpasimula ng apoy sa damdamin ng aking mga kababayan sa panahon na nasasadlak tayo sa kadiliman.
