Kadyot Lang Kita Dinhi (We Will Only Be Here For A While) Poem by RIC BASTASA

==========================================================
we will only be here for a while
don't go for the worries

or those humiliations
what more of anger

we have only one destination
the grave

and there it is worse
there is no use

there where the coldness
is worse than the cemented coldness

where the worms
are restless


just like here
where there are more people without ears

==========================================================
kadiyot lang kita dinhi
ayaw na anang mga kabalaka

ug mga kahiubos
labi na ang kapungot

usa ra ang atong padulngan
ang lubnganan

ug didto labaw na
nga walay pulos

didto diin labaw pa
sa semento ang kabugnaw

diin lihokan kaayo
ang mga ulod

sama dinhi diin daghan
ang mga wala'y dalunggan

==========================================================
