Rise Again Philippines! Poem by Diane Monte

You cannot escape
From the worst past, , ,
Ashes of shattered dreams, , ,
Distorted creeds, , ,
But you must RISE.

Rise to the challenge,
Invest in your new dreams,
Overcome the storms of failures,
Never surrender,
RISE UP AGAINST ODDS.

They mock you by those blasphemous words,
Nor even treated you a mendicant country,
You are dying a little inside of yours,
But no one can break and kill you,
RISE DESPITE OF DISCOURAGEMENT.

You are not a fallen fighter,
Ignite like a blazing flame,
I saw your strength in the battlefield,
You become fearless after the wounds,
ROAR, GRIND AND RISE AGAIN….
