Eve of The Day
On the Eve of Election Day
I hope to make the right decision,
to think of my family and those of my peers but more importantly
to forget my enemies because tomorrow is not about me.
Palengkes and dampas across the country
Will chant their names into the ballots so honorably fought for.
Fought for by those who care to make a difference.
So one day the Pearl shines as it once did for the world to see.
We can be role-models again, not examples.
But we must remember a word I use a lot.
We must pray to make the right decision.
We must think of our families and those of our peers.
We must all gaze at the magnifying glass
examine the past as we once did in class.
Look at our fathers and our fathers fathers and notice what each have done.
The proven will stand tall as the corrupt grow small.
Because on the eve of Election Day
we will be united.
Together we can make this country more beautiful and honorable than our forefathers
could have ever dreamed.
To do this we must come together and vote together.
Let us look well at that magnifying glass
and remember yesterday then apply it to today.
Who can give you food to feed your family?!
Never mind that!
He or she who teaches us how to earn it ourselves is what we need!
Now is the time to get it right. Educate ourselves!
Realize what kind of people have proven to be beneficial to this country and
Realize when enough is enough. Our Philippines cannot afford to be wrong again.
Remember, we will not be told who to vote for. We will be shown things.
Who is the richest? Who is the smartest? Who can afford the most stuff for us?
All unimportant. Realize who can help you earn your wealth.
Whether it be spiritual, or financial is unimportant, let it be earned and not donated!
Realize these things so that on election day we are left with no question that luster is never lost, only hidden by the rust.
