MALAYAni Rogelio B

MALAYA
ni Rogelio B. Sikat

Kung may bukid ako na sariling akin,
Sukat na kaya ko'y aking sasakahin
ibig kong magsaka na ang aanihin
ikabuhay ko ma'y sa pawis ko galing.

Balak ko'y magtayo ng kubong matibay
sa may dakong tabi na sapang isdaan:
may balak din akong dito'y mag-itikan
Habang ako'y wiling bukid nag tirahan.

Handa ang dalawang kalakiang pili
Na gagamitin ko kung saka-sakali:
Sa dalawang itong kawaksi kong sukli,
bukid kong magandan'y masasakang lagi.

Mawiwili akong hawakan ang ugit
Na isang ararong pambungkal sa bukid:
Ibig kong saksihan ang paggawa'y sulit
Kapagka binatak ang buto't ang bisig.

Magagamayan kong magsasakang parati
kaysa mamasukang may among akwani:
Sa pagbubukid ko'y sagisag ang puri,
Na ang hari'y ako sa aking sarili.

Aking haharapin ang bungkaling lupa
Ang sipag ko'y dito handang isagasa:
Ibig kong ang uring paggawang malaya,
Sa banog ng bukid ay maibandila.
