Live in This Land Called Paraiso

April 22, 2009

 
 
 
 
 

Wow it’s supposed to be summer and yet it’s raining hard right now.  last week, it only rains at night.  Now, it’s been raining every afteroon.  According to PAGASA, there is a shallow low pressure area (SLPA) West NorthWest of Puerto Princesa City.  This is really odd.  Our climate is changing and we need to act fast in order for us to save our Earth.

Paraiso


Return to a land called Paraiso,
a place where a dying river ends.
No birds there fly over Paraiso,
no space allows them to endure.
The smoke that screens the air,
the grass that’s never there.

And if I could see a single bird, what a joy.
I try to write some words and create
a simple song to be heard
by the rest of the world.

I live in this land called Paraiso,
in a house made of cardboard floors and walls.
I learned to be free in Paraiso,
free to claim anything I see.
Matching rags for my clothes,
plastic bags for the cold.

And if empty cans were all I have, what a joy.
I never fight to take someone
else’s coins and live with fear
like the rest of the boys.

Paraiso, help me make a stand.
Paraiso, take me by the hand
Paraiso, make the world understand
that if I could see a single bird, what a joy.
This tired and hungry land could expect
some truth and hope and respect
from the rest of the world. 

 

 

Let’s do our share now for a better world…

 

 

  

HAPPY EARTH DAY
