Resulta (Result) Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

Matapos mahulog
Sa relasyong di wagas

Nagising, nauntog
Mahal pala ang gatas!

Huli na ang pighati
'Life daw is unfair! '

Baby ay di masauli
Magastos daw and diaper.

Pag-aaral na nasayang
Kinabukasang nagdilim

Disiplina ay nagkulang
Trabaho ay kulimlim.

Sa pag-alaga ng apo
Lola ang nahapo

Masaklap na resulta
Puno ngayon ng problema

Anak na pasaway
Pasunod na ina!



English Translation:

After a foolish affair
Awakening to the fall
To find life is unfair
The baby you can't recall.

The cost of milk shocking
And so with the diapers
Too late for the crying
Regrets always come after.

An education that is wasted
A future that turned dim
Dicipline was rejected
Job future now is slim.

Poor Grandma is so burdened
With the care of for your child
A result that is saddened
When in youth you went wild.

The problems are surmounting,
For the child's foolishness
The weak mother tolerating,
Her life now such a mess.
