New Hope For The Filipinos Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

NEW HOPE FOR THE FILIPINOS
Melvin Banggollay



N-ations have witnessed the controversies
beseting the highest position in our country
causing much division and political apathy
omong the leaders with their anomalies.

O-n the May 10 election in our nation's history
through the first electronic election technology,
the faith of the Filipino nation and sovereignty
concluded with President Noy Aquino's victory.

Y-ou and I had expressed our conscience
voting freely our own choice with prudence
as everyone is hoping and praying for reform
that governance be better than its old form.

N-oynoy affirmed his vision to put a rest
to the people's suffering from poverty's arrest
but called upon each one to rally behind
to help him cross to reach the finish line.

O-ppositions surely haunts his administration
some may make things hard for him to govern
but I believed he is a man of great conviction
with a prudent hand to serve the people's concern

Y-es, people sees new hope in his leadership
with an expectation that he will lead the ship
of Philippine democracy with all verdant color
upholding the people's will with glory and honor.
