If I Had The Magic
IF I HAD the MAGIC
Melvin Banggollay
If I had the magic
In my old gentle palm
I'll offer to heal the sick
free of any alms
and I'll end every tragic
lost of lives to calm
agony of the weak
with prayers and psalm.
If I had the magic
Upon my pen's charm
I'll write many comics
to create an alarm
mankind needs medics
to heal all ills that harm
with love so strategic
to make all human palm
caring and full of magic
in building peaceful barn
In sharing goodwill to men.

Poverty: War Of Today
POVERTY: WAR OF TODAY
melvin banggollay
Poverty abound everywhere
Even in paradise of plenty
As long as there are brothers
Who seldom eat sweet honey,
as long as there are sisters
under prostitution's malady,
when children are still under
abuse and exploitation by many
and as long as there are disaster
jeopardizing life and property.
Poverty is a war and disaster
Hounting every nation today
that can't be won by a leader
without the help of everybody
as it is a war arm with disaster
that can only be hurdled with unity,
frugality, thriftiness with power,
economical spending and industry,
good governance by our leaders
with an undying vow to foster unity
peace and cooperation as brothers
among anyone to preserve humanity.

I’m Proud, an Indian Doctor
I’m proud an Indian doctor;
I have a billion lives to save;
In practice, let me not falter;
But with my patients well behave.
’Tis thrilling to serve fellowmen,
Suff’ring from newer disease;
Let me use my fullest ken,
And teach them how to live in peace.
My country is a poor nation;
My brethren need my treatment;
So, let me serve with passion;
And free them from their ailment.
God turned me to be healer great;
And serve my fellowmen ill;
Let me improve patient’s fate;
By using my God-given skill.
I’m proud to serve my brethren;
God will bless me some day, some way;
A Doctor turns earth to heaven-
Some day, my patients will sure say!

The Pearl Is In Nature's Anger
THE PEARL IS IN NATURE'S ANGER
melvin banggollay
The pearl of the orient seas
Is a den of great catastrophies
as a wel known thyphoons belt
of 25 thyphoons upon its cheast
bringing flooding to the fullest
making live's problem out of rest.
Just recently 2 typhoons came
with hundred lives they claimed
drawning many with ocean of pains
burrying soul with mud of desdain
turning many's fate out of mercy
so blessed with endless agony.
Is this nature's great furious way
of showing its madness and fury
to let us realize our own stupidity
of raping nature's wealth everyday
even destroying its balance ecology
for our endless desire for money?
Phenomena of Global warming
over and accross every land and sea
to show upon us the ozone's warning
that it can't hold on mankind's fury
of raping nature without replacing
every tree we cut and burn everyday,
that it can not bear any longer
the war we waged out of our anger,
the pollution we make with danger
as we desire prosperity even we suffer
the wrath of nature and God's power.

Let us resolve to work for global peace;
Let love and brotherhood become our bond;
Let wars and envy amongst nations cease!

Let earth’s resources take man to the fore.
Let’s give up vices and all kinds of sin;
Let’s love our neighbors as our kith and kin.

Girls Have Rights Too
Girls must have the undeniable rights to speak,
And the God-given rights to choose and pick.
Girls must have the rights to be educated,
To be respected and to be protected.
Girls are human beings too;
Girls must have all the rights too.
Girls must have the rights to fight
For respect, comfort and decency.
Girls like boys are bright,
Girls must be able to taste the fruit of equality.
Girls are people too,
Girls are wonderful too.
Education is the light at the end of the tunnel,
And ignorance is the moon at the bottom of the funnel.
Education is the hope that triggers better opportunities,
It is also the antidote that defeats all sorts of disease.
Therefore, girls must have the rights to be educated,
To be protected and to be respected.

Like A Song
LIKE A SONG
Melvin Banggollay
My life is like a song
With notes so fine
And rhythm so long
But often out of line
Whenever I prolong
And refuse to decline
To stop singing songs
With pitch so designed
To be sung like a gong.
Like a song with a tone
With diction so inclined
Has a melody of its own
But not often I wanted to fine
In terms of quality and tones
That can keep one be fined
Whenever I render a song
In my desire to define
The life I sung and owned.

Crisis In Our Economy
CRISIS IN OUR ECONOMY
Melvin Banggollay
C-risis in our economy
bellowing like the sea
put many in jeopardy
even government entity.
R-ise of oil prices everyday
put the world's economy
in the brink of ambiguity
putting many in poverty.
I-nvestment cost is heavy
as few can afford today
to create their own entity
for economic prosperity.
S-top curruption in any way
like stealing people's money
through ghost project today
by politicians of no dignity.
I-nstitute in our laws and policy
Currupting government money
is punishable by death penalty
even just by a single penny.
S-haring of wealth for the needy
be a motto of those somebody
like the rich and powerful family
can save many to die in poverty.

Freedom Is, Freedom Is Never
FREEDOM IS..., FREEDOM IS NEVER
Melvin Banggollay
FREEDOM IS:
F-ighting for a just and noble cause
R-especting others rights and dignity
E-xchanging of views without fear
E-mpowring others to be free from tyrany.
D-oing morally rightful and lawful things
O-ffering others opportunity to live descent life
M-utual sharing as brothers and sisters.
for FREEDOM IS NEVER
F-ighting to deprive others rights
R-aping the right and dignity of anyone
E-xploiting the ignorance and weakness of others
E-xperimenting others life for an immoral cause
D-irect assault of one's private life in disguise of freedom
O-utliving others with the power of guns and goons
M-utual sharing at the expense of the weak and many.

My Father's Legacy To Me
MY FATHER'S LEGACY
mELVIN BANGGOLLAY
Everyone of us when gone has a legacy
That people remember in one's memory
Just like my Father who joined the Almighty
Leave me a token of his great personality.
My father sacrificed for my dear education
In spite of poverty he gave all the provision
I need to finish my degree and profession
Without any complain or simple hesitation
My father never wanted us to walk his way
Only to finished even just a lowest degree
For he didn't want us to suffer so heavily
The burden of being a child of great poverty.
My father had to work as a student janitor
Cleaning, sweeping and doing other chore
In exchange for a free tuition from the school
Where he graduated with citation and honor.
He showed that poverty is not a malady
When we are truly convicted to be somebody
When we desire to make life better everyday
and when we dream to have a better destiny.
He taught me to be always humble to others
Specially before God who protect us from curse
For those who humble themselves have reward
Not maybe in our earthly world but there above.

Burn Me With Your Passion
BURN ME WITH YOUR PASSION
Melvin banggollay
Burn me with your passion
Let your touch take me
To that burning dungeon
Where I loved to hear
sweetness of your moan
As you grin without fear
with softness of your own
that took me to the realm
of your love and potion
Oh! ! ! that made me to scream
with ecstasy's delusion.

Indomitable Spirit
INDOMITABLE SPIRIT
Melvin Banggollay
N-inoy is jailed yet never conquered
His body has been put in a dungeon
Sealed with much pains so unheard
But still His spirit soared out of oblivion.
I got no army with powers truly feared
Nor with flickering gold of the nation
I got only an indomitable spirit unaltered
With hope and faith to die for freedom
N-inoy died fighting for our freedom
Not with goons and power of guns
But with his indomitable faith as a man
Willing to die to restore our freedom.
O-ut of his enjoyable life in Boston’s land
He journeyed back for our freedom
Even the hiss of death is really at hand
he fighted his fear to die for our freedom.
Y-ou and I and the whole eyes of nations
Witnessed the lamb of our dear freedom
Calmly faced his death without hesitation
With a bullet from fool soldiers’ arms.
They killed this young honorable man
But they can never kill the spirit of freedom
Within this man that always lives beyond
Inspiring us to fight and die for freedom.
He was the lamb of the Filipino’s freedom
Who offered his life to wake up everyone
That no one man can decide the fate of a land
For a nation’s fate lives in everybody’s hand.

Of Human Greed In These Tough Times
Of Human greed in these tough times we read of and we hear
Company C E O's not paid in thousands but in millions every year
Yet few of their type known for to help anyone in poverty
In a World where some have too much so much inequality
So many wealthy people from our Earth Mother take and take
From her precious resources their fortunes they do make
Her gold, silver and precious minerals, her uranium and coal
The more they have the more they want their greed out of control
For abusing the one we live off of the price may be huge to pay
Of droughts and famines caused by Climate Change we read and hear of every day
For the curse of Global Warming human greed in part to blame
Our abuse of our Earth Mother is only to our shame
The World is getting warmer from north to southern shore
And the greedy from our Earth Mother keep on stealing more and more.

SONA (State Of the Non-sense Address)
SONA (State Of the Non-sense Address)
Melvin Banggollay
Here comes again in verdant beauty
A woman cradled by many controversy
Whose powerful voice change the history
of the electoral process of this country
sealed upon the movie 'Hello Garci'.
Today as she will anew bewildered many
through her winning smile full of hypocrisy
As described by her mountain of adversary,
She will fill the lower house with her witty
of making promises to capture everybody.
As she made her famous national address
Stressing so many point as she professed
that with her administration, poverty's mess
was captured with some degree of success
though I behold poverty is still at its best.
Lucky we are for we have so far the best
Economist as president with excellent quest
of putting more investment to create unrest
and increasing poverty at its highest crest
with everyday surging increases of oil prices
In fairness, she's indeed a strong woman
worthy for emulation by every politician
Specially those who want to secure their plan
of staying in power to protect their own clan
even if their soul is being counted for Satan.
Though our nation cradles corrupt politicians
Not all our leaders had the guts to fool anyone
Hence, during election vote that someone
With an empowered conscience and plan
To serve with prudence and humility everyone.

Moral Fiber!
true moral fiber...
is grounded in respect!
respect yourself!
respect the earth!
respect your neighbor!
(everyone is your neighbor)
respect the search for truth.
respect justice!
respect the rights of human beings
to be human beings!
respect the need of each and all!
living thus...
will not allow you to respect,
acts of injustice,
acts of ignorance,
acts of prejudice,
acts of greed!
be respect!

You're Beauty's Magic
YOU'RE BEAUTY'S MAGIC
Melvin Banggollay
Your beauty has the magic
That can heal even the sick
With a charm than can warm
and keep me away from harm.
Your smile has the fragrance
of a rose even from a distance
With an aroma that can enchant
anyone that desires to glance.
You do have an angelic face
Wearing sweet smiles that erase
boredom of anyone that gaze
Your beauty that truly amaze.

I may not have seen thee
Nor have known you before
but the charm of your poetry
enchanted my heart to adore
the tenderness of your ways
and the mysteries you implore
through your passion's glory
your heart and mind explore.
Truly, I can't deny even if I try
to hide that you got the power
to disturb my heart's tranquility
and jail me inside your heart
craving to love you fervently
with all my psalms and prayer.
