Wen ti tao, adda iti pedestal nga agbiag, ngem dadduma met agbiag a kas ken billitttuleng 

Amado I. Yoro


wen, nangatngato ti biag 

ti tao ngem ti tumaytayab 
iti tangatang 
no dadduma ti tao agbiag 
kas met ti billit tuleng 

tunggal agkayabkab 

a sumangpet iti umokna [iti balayna] 
puera homeless – 
adda latta ammalna a 
ruting, ruot, ti sabong 
wenno tipping, uray sobra 
ken pedaso ti tinapay 
ti biag 

ti tao birokenna 

bagas a silpo ti biag 
ti agridam 
kas ken tumaytayab 

panagurnong met ti aramid ti 

billittuleng, idiay umokna 
ammona met ti agsagana para iti 
biagna 
adda latta isangpetna 
iti nanumo a taeng 
ti piek nga agkikikik 
ungapenda ti sippitda 
ti isubo ti ina a billittuleng 

kasta met ti tao 

iti biagna 
agurnong 
agaliwaksay 
ken agsagana 

ngem napatpategtayo 

ngem iti billittuleng 
iti imeng ti rabii 
talinaay ken talna 
ti samiweng 
ti ayug 
ti kanta 
nalamuyot ti musika 
dayta sonata 
a mayang-angin 
ti imnas ti biag 

iti kararua ti panawen 

ti amin a panawen 
iti sab-ok ti sangapaglangitan 
a namnama ken rag-o 
dayta a pedestal ti biag!
