I AM A FILIPINO <br />Melvin Banggollay <br /> <br /> <br />I am a Filipino, in blood and spirit <br />born from immortal seeds of heroes <br />Whose heart were willing to commit <br />their lives to fight any kind of foes <br />even those that has the power to spit <br />the nation of my birth with volcanoes <br />of fire and balls of cannon that can split <br />thy land unto tiny dusts to unseen echoes. <br /> <br />I am a Filipino, proud of my humble roots <br />of a gentle loving and valiant Malayan spirit <br />land been conquered but never surrendered <br />the culture of its birth and ancestor's merit <br />of great love for country that can't be toppled <br />even by nation with powers that can delete <br />this land out of the face of this great world <br />as all thy children vow to die with all valor <br />to defend the pride and honor of the Filipinos.<br /><br />MELVIN BANGGOLLAY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-a-filipino/
