ITUTULA NA LANG (Poetry Compilation)

Andri Tutto Bene

AN: Ewan ko kung tula pa ba ang nagawa. It's one of my late night thoughts. Stay at home everyone. Be safe. Kaya natin 'to.
Wala akong ibang ma title kundi Italian. Inspired mula sa theme nila Chiara Ferragni at Fedez (mga Italian influencer) about COVID-19. Kayo na bahalang magtranslate 😉

Blind as I construed,
Shamed,
I've disregarded the beauty of you,
Cursing how dull life is everyday
Failed to remember when I'd last thanked the Almighty

I was directed to run after the light,
But got tripped and drifted towards the dark side
Those times where my freedom still exist,
Time was only intended for subsistence,
Nothing left for my existence
Mouths were filled with complaints,
Even whined how a small walk is inconvenient,
Oblivious how sweet to breath the fresh air,
Forbidding flowers to grow from where it seeded,
Fouling the sun for burning my skin,
Blaming the Earth for everything

Bitterness ate my flesh, indeed
And sure thing, hatred acquired the greatest
Got no time to think,
Got no time to ponder how grateful I am for still living,
Too bad right now, wickedness is all over,
Laughing with mouth wide open.

It's never to late
I cried
Pleading to catch again the sight of light,
Calling out His name and pray

Looking forward to come out from this blessing in disguised den,
Counting the days till I hear the voices of the crowd again,
Weeks till I hear the birds chirping,
Till I witness the flowers blooming,
Till I enjoy the sun's touch on my skin
And scream how I miss the outside scene

Here I am again with my pen and sheets,
Trying to persuade myself that there's no Corona sh*t
I can't help it.
Sorry.
