Happiest Land
So, coast is clearer by now..
After the blast at the Glorietta..
the bombing at the Senate...
the visit of typhoon Lando and Mina...
the earthquake in Luzon...
the Makati stand-off... how are you now my Mother Land?
All these years you have been badly mistreated by men and nature. They have broken you down. You bewail for the fate that they casted upon you. And as if the anguish that they have latched into your spirit isn't enough, men keep coming back to inflict more blows at you. While nature unpredictably plots for another time to make you taste its vengeful wrath.
But I know you real well. You can withstand the hardest of the hardship. And without fail, you arise from them. Maybe broken, but still with a brand new hope, enduring life with your smiles and laughter. You can always find reasons to be glad amidst insufferable situations. Oh, you and your happy disposition! Aren't you the second happiest land in Asia? And I insist that you should be the first. With a strong faith in God, you are a survivor!
Never once did I dream to leave away from your bosom. Some lands lure, with a promise of greener pasture. But for me, nothing can compensate the nearness of your love, of your warmth, and the sing-songy tune of your laughter!
