The voices echoed through thin air
Stripped off with power, they laid bare
Their voices, faded, untrampled here and there
Behold! The heroes beyond compare
Veiled with different capes and beams
Scarred with life’s looming shadows, screams
Unbowed, unfazed, unbent, it seems
The heroes, worn out, glittered their grins
He mustered the courage to fight
She wielded power, poised the light
They succumbed to death, untold delight
The victor’s stories, adorned with bright
He, she, they. Today’s heroes, oh wow!
Their epitaph sums with glee and vow
Their unsung voices, you’ll hear somehow
Yes, they’re Filipinos, here and now.
