Ano Nga Ba Tayo?

A charming poem I found scribbled in one of my college notebooks. It's not by me, though; I think a college blockmate [or her then beau] composed it. Strange, what one finds in old college stuff.

Ano nga ba tayo
kung 'di alaala na lamang
na ikekwento sa mga
magiging apo natin,
kung sumagi man sa isipan?

Ano nga ba tayo
kung 'di saglit ng magpakailanman,
binabalikan,
natapos,
bago pa man mag-umpisa?

Ano nga ba tayo
kung 'di ang magkabilang hati
ng iisang buo,
naghahanapan,
hindi magkatagpo?

ang ganda naman :) ang cute :)

Whoa, pj. I wasn't expecting to be double whammied. It's been lifetimes since I last saw this piece. I thought I lost it. And the masks article! Where do you find these things? I was talking to a friend a few weeks back and told him of the burning ritual (courtesy of Tina A!) you helped me execute years ago. Hah!

Thanks for the surprise. Happy accidents never fail to make me smile. =)

    EXPECT NOTHING
    Alice Walker
    Expect nothing. Live frugally
    On surprise.
    become a stranger
    To need of pity
    Or, if compassion be freely
    Given out
    Take only enough
    Stop short of urge to plead
    Then purge away the need.
    Wish for nothing larger
    Than your own small heart
    Or greater than a star;
    Tame wild disappointment
    With caress unmoved and cold
    Make of it a parka
    For your soul.
    Discover the reason why
    So tiny human midget
    Exists at all
    So scared unwise
    But expect nothing. Live frugally
    On surprise.
    WE ARE THE WORLD
