Freedom...Live and Die

Freedom...Live and Die

They plucked the sun from the heavens
They plucked three shining stars
Set these in a spotless triangle
Besides two parallel bars

One bar was crimson sunset
The other was azure sky
They vowed by the sun and the shining stars
For freedom they live and die

White were the souls they offered
Red was the blood they shed
Blue was the undying flame
That hallows the martyr’s head

Behold the flag in its glory
On this meaningful event in history
Now by the sun and the shinning stars
For freedom they live and die

Note:
The poem is dedicated to the Filipino people all over the world.
