Huwag Kang Pumikit, Sabi ni Marikit.

Huwag Kang Pumikit, Sabi ni Marikit.

A Poem by Yve

Hijo at Hija,
Anong oras na ba?
Anong petsa?
Anong buwan?
Bakit parang bumabalik tayo sa nakaraan?
Na tila mga naghihilom na sugat
Ay kusang nabubuksan.

Hijo at Hija,
Anong oras na ba?
Anong petsa?
Anong buwan?
Bakit naririnig ko ulit ang iyak,
ng mga taong uhaw sa kalayaan?
Na tila mga luha nila'y patuloy na umaagos
Na parang walang hangganan.

Hijo at Hija,
Anong oras na ba?
Anong petsa?
Anong buwan?
Bakit mga bibig natin ay pilit na siniselyohan?
Na tila ba ayaw nila nating bigkasin, ang mga katotohan
Sa likod ng mga kasinungalingang ipinagkalat sa taong bayan.

Hijo at Hija,
Anong oras na ba?
Anong petsa?
Anong buwan?
Bakit mga mata'y pilit na pinipiringan?
Na parang gustohin nila, tayo ay mabulag o kaya'y magbulag-bulagan,
Sa mga katotohanang pilit nilang hindi maisiwalat.

Hijo at Hija,
Anong oras na ba?
Anong petsa?
Anong buwan?
Bakit parang nakikita ko ulit ang isang pelikula patungkol sa isang bayan?
Na ang mga tao doon ay uhaw sa kalayaan at kapayapaan.
Bayan, na nagdudusa dahil sa mga makapangyarihan. 

Kaya Hijo at Hija,
Ako nga pala si Marikit
Naghihikayat sa iyo na sana ay marinig
Ang mga boses at tinig ng mga taong,
Nasasaktan at naaapi dahil sa mga taong malupit.

Ipaglaban mo ulit ang kalayaan at kapayapaan
Na minsa'y dinukot ng isang makapangyarihan.
Ipaglaban mo ulit ang bayan
Na kusang ipinaglaban ng mga bayani at mga taong bayan. 

Hijo at Hija,
Buksan ninyo ang inyong bibig,
Buksan ninyo ang inyong tainga,
Buksan ninyo ang inyong mga mata,
Buksan ninyo ang inyong mga isipan.
Buksan ninyo ang inyong mga puso.
Kapag ito ay nabuksan na, kasalanan na ang pumikit.

There's an old adage about the Philippines that says it spent over 300 years in a Spanish convent and 50 years in Hollywood to get to where it is today. An interesting and poignant poetical message you have created here- a great read! :-) Mabuting gawa

hahha, you certainly know how to speak the language. AMAZEBALLS ahhah... Hi and nice to meet you :)
I really like it! While its not my cup of tea, it gets the job done in terms of sending a message to the reader. I just wish it was sent in a more poetic fashion since it is a poem, but that's but my taste. The only thing I dislike would be how you repeated the first four lines five times. I honestly couldn't be bothered to read it again as it added nothing to the poem after reading the same line for the second time. A solution for this is actually something you already done which was to make slightly different iterations of it as you have done in your last stanza.
