Philippine History 11
Rebellion With a Cause
In the countryside was a cry
That started at Pugad Lawin
Balintawak acted the why?
For freedom's sake, they have to win.
Loyalty to Spain must be cut
As the people have suffered much
And with the gumption and the gut
That this allegiance must end as such.
On the fertile soil of the land
Sprout some seeds with the urge to lead
Smiling at its vast pebbly strand
With the healthy produce to spread.
Leaders like the weather come and go
Some are obsessed with good reasons
But the people have the right to know
What's in store for them in all seasons.
Brilliant promises stir the air
The people are filled with energy
This land of the valiant and the fair
Will weather many a century.
