| Ninoy Aquino |
Yellow flowers by the highway,
Yellow ribbons all in view
At Luneta's every byway;
How we all remember you!
Yellow of the sunbeams bursting
On our red and white and blue;
Symbol of our people thirsting
For the freedoms that we knew!
Never fearing, ever fighting
Though we were a lonely few!
By your martyrdom uniting
Native, Moslem, Christian, Jew!
An aroused, emboldened nation,
Vigilant and ever true,
Seeking just reconciliation
Is our legacy from you!
Ah, the million madding faces
Demanding justice overdue!
Millions more in other places---
Ilocandia to Sulu!
Though the tyrant keeps on dreaming
--- He won't die or bid adieu ---
The end is nearing for his scheming
And his nemesis is you!
Ichthys, Sept. 14, 1984
