KALINGA'S BEAUTY
Melvin Dinulong Banggollay
Tabuk, Kalinga
K-alinga, land of my forebears history
cradles a people known for their bravery
whose diverse culture bewildered many
To come and behold her distinct ingenuity
A-bove its mystic hills and verdant valleys
abound a beauty with natures tapestry
where one could enjoy serene beauty
of a land engulfed in a world of fantasy.
L-and known as the prince of the country
With its rich culture defining history
that for centuries withstand modernity
to safeguard its dignity from any tyranny.
I-n this land sprung many native industry
showcasing craft and skill of ingenuity
of people nurtured with great diversity
of rich traditions unchanged by history.
N-o other land in the region you can see
A woman's beauty engraved on a mountain
known by many as a legend of mystery
That even now clings in the folks' memory.
G-od bless this land with wide verdant plains
Where native red rice thrive abundantly
With coffee full of aroma adored by many
with its truly enchanting nectar of beauty.
A land of my birth and cherish child fantasy
that I wish to have real peace and unity
among its children with tribal controversy
and its leaders with their political rivalry.
very nice poem for a very lovely and enchanting place, that is, Kalinga!
