Independence Day
Scars
of Yesterday
Screams of
fear, danger could be found anywhere and chaos fills the air and land. Prisoned
in our own land, trapped with our own freedom. Silenced by terror, guns and
threats. When we’ll be free? dying man shouts on the top of his lungs, as
handcuffs locks him down. Catastrophic event all through many years, as clear
as day. The flag of the Philippines with it’s country burned down, proclaimed
its defeat.
Have you
ever wondered the struggles of our heroes and ancestors had been through? Blood
dripping, making trails and puddles. No caskets, no peace as they lay their
heads, unending battles and gun shots sounds. When did this hole start to get
ripped? This fury and pain. Who shall save us from all of this?
Here comes
a light from the heavens above. The bravest among the bravest, hear shouts;
“You are nothing but shame,” against the people who tried to rule over us. The
battle continues day and night. Quenching their thirst and hunger in order for
our independence and our men. The league of the strongest and bravest men lost
thousands of innocent lives. They wanted peace and to stop the struggling.
Enough is
enough.
12th
of June, 1898, marks the day of victory. At last! Peace fills the air.
Sovereign! Rejoicing as we proclaim what we should have long ago. Breathe in what we call heroine,
‘independence.’ Praise those mighty ‘bayani’ who risked their lives for us and
our country.
Through the
uphill battle and winding trails we were brought to, proved that we are
resilient Filipinos! As the picture unblurs; blue, red, white flaunts away with
rays of superior grace. Frowns turns to grins.
To those
who sacrificed, thank so much! and to those who spell the word ‘shame,’ who do
you think you are?
Let us
celebrate the 121st independence day!
